Parker McCollum is nearing the end of his current Burn It Down Tour, but with 2025 just around the corner, he’s already gearing up for his next touring season. Today, he took to social media to let fans know that he is headed back on the road in just a few months with a slew of new dates on his What Kinda Man Tour.
The post featured a video of McCollum holding up a sheet of paper that included all the cities he’s going to be playing in on the first leg of his 2025 run. He purposely held the paper in a way that prevented viewers from seeing the locations so that he could read them off one by one.
The Texas native revealed he will be kicking things off in Athens, GA on January 23 and making stops in Portland, ME, Champaign, IL, St. Louis, MO, Portsmouth, VA and more before wrapping up in Gainesville, FL on April 26. He then asked fans to let him know where else he should visit in 2025.
“Can’t Wait To Kick The Doors Down In 2025″
Named for his current radio single, “What Kinda Man,” the upcoming run is expected to feature a setlist of all the hits fans love as well as some brand-new music that will take his live shows to the next level. Joining McCollum on tour is rising country star Kameron Marlowe with special guests Laci Kaye Booth and William Beckmann.
McCollum delivered a statement along with the announcement, in which he shared the utmost gratitude for all the fans that came out to one of his shows in 2024 and made it one of his favorite treks yet.
“First I want to say a huge thank you to each and every person who has come out to one of our shows. Y’all were with us rain or shine this past year and I can say it was hands down one of my favorite tours – I truly do have the best fans out there! Y’all keep me doing the thing that I love to do and for that I’ll forever be grateful,” he shared. “Can’t wait to kick the doors down in 2025 and hope to see you all out on the road again next year.”
Following today’s announcement, Marlowe revealed that he’s “fired up” to hit the road with McCollum, while Booth said, “Let’s go boys.”
General on-sale tickets for the What Kinda Man Tour will be available starting October 28 at10 AM local time.
