Fans of Wyatt Flores out west and up north are in luck as the rising country star has just added 16 new dates to his Welcome Back To The Plains Tour, extending the run into the fall.
Originally set to include 24 dates, the tour kicked off on May 4 in Cottonwood, Alabama, and was scheduled to wrap in Lewisburg, West Virginia. But Flores is keeping the momentum going, with additional shows running from September through November. The expanded leg will take him all the way to Seattle, Washington, and will wrap up in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
At just 23 years old, the Oklahoma-born artist has quickly made a name for himself in the country scene, thanks to his 2022 breakout hits “Please Don’t Go” and “Losing Sleep.” Flores’ music has since garnered over 325 million streams across platforms. Not only has he charted on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs, but he was also recognized by both Amazon’s Breakthrough Artist of the Year and Spotify’s Hot Country Class, which is just further proof that this red dirt powerhouse is unstoppable right now.
Joining him in the fall are openers such as The Brudi Brothers, The Droptines, and Noah Rinker. You might recognize the Brudi Brothers from their viral song, “Me More Cowboy Than You”. Both Rinker and The Droptines are emerging Western natives who fall in the alt-country genre.
The first leg of the tour also features a stacked support lineup with Blayker Blankenship, Waylon Wyatt, Blake Whiten, Drayton Farley, Noah Rinker, and Kaitlin Butts.
On top of his headlining tour, Flores is gearing up for major festivals and international appearances. He’ll make his Lollapalooza debut in Chicago from July 31 to August 2. Later in the year, the world traveler will join Post Malone on the BIG A** Stadium Tour in the U.K., and hit the road with 49 Winchester for a European run.
If you’re on edge about buying yet again another concert ticket, Flores’ most recent album release, Live At Cain’s Ballroom, is a testament to his stellar live performance abilities. The live album dropped on Valentine’s Day this year but was recorded at one of Flores’ sold-out shows this past December at Tulsa’s Cain’s Ballroom, and it is a masterpiece. It encapsulates his captivating vocals on some of his greatest songs as well as some must-hear covers like Turnpike Troubadour’s “Ringing In The Year.”
We can’t forget about the whole purpose of this tour, which stems from Flores’ other prominent recent album release, Welcome To the Plains, which blessed the country music world this past fall on October 16. The project is an emotional rollercoaster that details the Mexican-American artist’s journey out of his hometown, Stillwater, Oklahoma, and depicts the tumultuous highway lifestyle of a growing musician.
The setlist for this tour promises a full spectrum of Flores’ music. Fans can expect him to open strong with “Welcome To The Plains” and close the night with “West of Tulsa.” Along the way, he’s performing staples like “Running Out of Time,” “Losing Sleep,” “Please Don’t Go,” and newer tracks like “Don’t Wanna Say Goodnight,” “Stillwater,” and “Oh Susannah.”
Pre-sale tickets for the new dates go live Tuesday, May 13 at 10 a.m. local time. General sale begins Friday, May 16 at 10 a.m.
