Sam Hunt Heads To The Southside With New Album, Summer Tour

Sam Hunt has announced his sophomore project SOUTHSIDE will be out April 3 on MCA Nashville. The album will feature his current Top 5-and-climbing hit “Kinfolks,” the introspective ballad “Sinning With You,” and more, and is the first full album of new music from Hunt since the release of his Grammy-nominated, triple-Platinum-selling debut, Montevallo.

Released in 2014, Montevallo produced four No. 1 singles and five Platinum and Multi-Platinum-selling hits including “Leave the Night On,” “House Party,” “Take Your Time,” “Break Up In A Small Town” and “Make You Miss Me.” Hunt’s smash hit “Body Like A Back Road” shot to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and remained there for an unprecedented 34 consecutive weeks, shattering the record for most weeks atop the nearly 59-year-old chart. “Body Like A Back Road” was also the No. 3 most-downloaded all-genre song of 2017. Since Montevallo’s release, Hunt has accumulated over 6.85 billion global streams and has earned 22 million RIAA certified units.

In addition to the April 3 new album release, Hunt will hit the road on The Southside Summer Tour 2020 with special guests Kip Moore, Travis Denning, ERNEST and a DJ set by Brandi Cyrus. The tour kicks off May 28 in Charlotte and visits over 40 markets including Chicago, St. Louis, Philadelphia, Birmingham, Houston, Phoenix, San Diego and more. Citi is the official presale credit card for tour, and Citi cardmembers can purchase presale tickets through Citi Entertainment from Feb. 11-13.
