Kacey Musgraves will kick off her new “Middle of Nowhere Tour” in August.
Named for her upcoming sixth studio album, the arena run launches Aug. 21 (Musgrave’s birthday) in Chicago, and includes multiple nights at New York’s Madison Square Garden, Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena and more, wrapping with two shows in Seattle Oct. 26-27.
Support acts on the new tour include Midland, Flatland Cavalry, Carter Faith, Estevie, Charles Wesley Godwin, William Beckmann, Gabriella Rose and The Brudi Brothers. Fans can register now for early access for the North American dates, and pre-sale runs May 6-7, with general on sale beginning May 8 here.
Middle of Nowhere is set for release this Friday (May 1) via Lost Highway, and was produced by Musgraves alongside longtime collaborators and features the first single, “Dry Spell.” “Dry Spell” was followed by the album’s title track “Middle of Nowhere” which is inspired by a sign in Musgraves’ tiny, unincorporated, no-stoplight hometown of Golden, Texas, population under 300, that reads “Golden, TX: Somewhere in the Middle of Nowhere.” The sign and the solitary headspace Musgraves was living in sparked the idea for the title track and symbolic ethos of the album, which features collaborations with Willie Nelson, Miranda Lambert, Billy Strings, and Gregory Alan Isakov, highlighting its deep Texas roots and genreless spirit.
Musgraves is set to perform on the upcoming 61st Academy of Country Music Awards, airing live on Prime Video on May 17.
