American Idol stars Colin Stough and Will Moseley have announced that they are hitting the road for a joint tour this fall. 

Kicking off October 3 with a show in Nashville, TN, the Idol alums will embark on a 10-day run with shows taking place across California, Mississippi, South Carolina, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and Nebraska.  

“LETS GOOO!!!!!! Y’all come on out for a damn good time I hope to see yall there🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥,” Stough wrote in his post.

Moseley added that tickets will go on sale this Friday, July 26.

What Has Colin Stough Been Up To Since Idol?

Colin Stough appeared on Season 21 of the singing competition show and made it all the way to the live finale, where he finished in third place against winner Iam Tongi and runner-up, Megan Danielle. The Mississippi native has since gained a loyal fanbase and continues to grow his catalog with powerful tunes inspired by his life. Most recently, he released six authentic new songs on his project, Lookin’ for Home, which follows his debut EP, Promiseland

The new collection finds Stough diving into some pretty heavy topics that require him to wear his heart on his sleeve and share his most vulnerable self with listeners. Although it can be difficult to be so open and honest about personal situations like the ones that come to life across these songs, he says his ultimate goal is to make music that will help fans feel like they are not alone in their daily struggles.

“As an artist, I have trouble sometimes showing my vulnerable side to a good crowd of people, but I’m working on that because I know if I can really get over that challenge, I feel like it might help some others. And the more vulnerable I can be with my music, the more I think will help people open up and think, ‘You know, he’s going through the same stuff I am,’” Stough told Country Now while discussing Lookin’ for Home. 

Stough is also in the midst of celebrating his recent engagement to his now fiancée, Mckenzie Rhett. 

Moseley Finished As The Season 22 Runner-Up

Meanwhile, Georgia’s own Will Moseley is still fresh off his American Idol run. He was crowned the runner-up during the Season 22 live finale in May of 2024. His journey on the show has opened up many new doors for him and has allowed him to kickstart his musical dreams. Over the last few months, Moseley has been spending many days on the road, gaining more and more fans with each performance, and still finding the time to record new music.

“I’ve been on the road for a month straight, doing everything from fishing, to playing shows, and even recorded a little music. I think y’all will enjoy what’s on the way,” he wrote on Instagram back in June.

Since his time on the show has come to a close, he has released songs like “Why” and “Good Book Bad,” which added to his four releases of 2023 – “Coming Home,” “Fishing For A Living,” “Gone For Good,” and “Somewhere In The Middle.” According to his recent posts, it seems that some fresh releases are on the way from Moseley.

This upcoming trek will allow the two artists to unite each night to share the stories behind their songs, showcase their talent in a whole new way, and maybe even introduce new music.
