Kane Brown Has a New Album & Tour Coming in 2025
Kane Brown will launch 2025 with a new album and a new tour when he releases his album The High Road on Jan. 24 and sets out on The High Road Tour beginning March 13 in San Diego, Calif.
The tour will visit 23 cities, including two shows at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on April 11 and 12, before wrapping with two shows in Gilford, N.H., on May 24-25. Scotty McCreery, Mitchell Tenpenny, Ashley Cooke and “Austin” hitmaker Dasha will open shows on the tour.
The album will feature his current Billboard Hot 100 top 20 Marshmello collaboration “Miles on It” as well as “Fiddle in the Band” and the new song “Backseat Driver,” which was written by Jacob Davis and Jordan Walker (with production from Brown’s frequent creative collaborator Dann Huff). The High Road album will contain 18 songs, with “Backseat Driver” releasing Oct. 11.
The new album and tour come as Brown has etched a path over the past decade from an indie artist building his fanbase through doing cover songs on social media, to placing 26 songs on Billboard‘s all-genre Hot 100 chart and earning 11 No. 1 Country Airplay hits. Along the way, the two-time ACM entertainer of the year nominee became the first artist to lead all five of Billboard‘s main country charts simultaneously. He’s also proven to a favored cross-genre collaborator, working with artists including Khalid, Nelly and Swae Lee, and recently teaming with Latin music star Carin León for the bilingual track “The One (Pero No Como Yo).”
He will also ring in the New Year by teaming with Jelly Roll to headline CBS’ New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash at Nashville’s Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park.
