The Marcus King Band will hit the road this summer on the second leg of their “Darling Blue Tour” across the U.S. and Canada.
Joined by special guests Penelope Road and Willow Avalon for select dates, the “Darling Blue Pt. 2 Tour” will make stops in New York City, Philadelphia, Buffalo, Chicago, Seattle, Boston, Telluride, Atlanta, and more, highlighted by “Marcus King Band and Friends,” a hometown show at Nashville’s Municipal Auditorium on May 27.
Presale for the dates begins tomorrow (March 11), with general on-sale beginning Friday (March 13).
Ahead of the tour, King will headline a one-week residency at the Blue Note Jazz Club in New York City on March 13–19. The Marcus King Band will also make an Australian headlining run in April before festival performances at Stagecoach Music Festival, Bourbon & Beyond, Gulf Coast Jam and more. The band also recently announced the “Waltz Across Texas Tour,” visiting seven cities across the Lone Star State this May. The “Darling Blue Pt. 2 Tour” follows the “Darling Blue Pt. 1” headline run last fall.
King closed out 2025 with the release of his new album, Darling Blue, a collection that takes listeners through King’s love for the Blue Ridge Mountains as well as his state of mind before and after he met his wife, Briley.
