Kip Moore

Kip Moore has released a new single “Levee,” featuring guest vocals by Hillary Lindsey, today via Virgin Music Group.

“‘Levee’ is an expression of frustration with the loudness of the world,” says Moore. “Everybody being self-righteous, the constant bickering. We’re simply in a graceless age. People are obsessed with their own voice and being the beacon of truth. We’re all flawed humans from a million different backgrounds. I can feel the ground hemorrhaging. That opening verse came out of me in seconds as a scream.”

A guitar-slinging anthem built for the fast lane, “Levee” was co-produced by Moore alongside Andrew DeRoberts and arrives along with the announcement of Moore’s new “Reason To Believe World Tour.” The new global tour will visit stadiums and arenas across Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Europe, US, and the UK through November, and will feature a series of shows at the SuperSport Park Stadium in Pretoria and at Cape Town’s GrandWest Arena, notching Moore’s first trip back to the country since 2024. He’s played his largest shows in South Africa, with his 2023 arena show becoming the fastest sell-out in Cape Town history, eclipsing Sting, where he performed for crowds of over 40,000 fans.

The new dates follow another co-headlining tour with Billy Currington that went on sale last month, as well as a select number of shows supporting Cody Johnson in arenas across the country. Before Moore’s world tour, he’ll also head back across the pond for a performance at the Holland International Blues Festival in The Netherlands and at State Fayre in Chelmsford, UK.
