Chris Stapleton Preps New Album, Announces Massive Tour

chris-stapleton

It don’t matter who’s on country radio, Chris Stapleton is still the current king of country music when it comes to recognition and album sales. A solid 16 months since he shocked the world at the 2015 CMA Awards, and he is still the perennial chart topper on the country albums charts with Traveller most every week, and there is no signs of it slowing down soon. Nonetheless, he’s already prepping a new album. Though no title, track list, or cover art has been revealed just yet, it has been confirmed that the new Stapleton album will be delivered on May 5th.

May 5th is also when the 2nd leg of a huge nationwide tour will commence, with new dates just announced. Heretofore, Chris Stapleton’s live dates have been in bouts and spurts, but in 2017 he will be touring the country extensively. Even more exciting is who he’s bringing out on tour with him, following the now fashionable model of not going for the tier two mainstream country talent, but traditional and independent up and comers.

Lindi Ortega, Brent Cobb, Anderson East, Margo Price, Brothers Osborne, Maren Morris, and Lucie Silvas all support, along with some shows with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. You can see the full dates below.
