Kacey Musgraves is moving quickly from album week into arena season. Just days before Middle of Nowhere arrives on May 1, the Grammy-winning songwriter has unveiled the sprawling Middle of Nowhere Tour.
Early registration is now live through middleofnowheretour.com, with pre-sales beginning May 6 at 10 a.m. local time before general ticket sales open May 8. The tour will feature a rotating lineup of special guests including Midland, Carter Faith, Flatland Cavalry, Charles Wesley Godwin, Gabriella Rose, Estive, The Brody Brothers, and William Beckmann.
Middle of Nowhere, her sixth studio album, lands this Friday with 13 tracks split across two sides, signaling a structural nod to classic vinyl sequencing while leaning deeper into the country iconography that has always shadowed her songwriting. Led by “Dry Spell” and its title track, the project serves as the followup to her 2024 album Deeper Well. That album proved she could thrive without chasing pop crossover formulas. Debuting at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and later producing “The Architect,” which won Best Country Song at the Grammys, the album reaffirmed her commercial durability.
This time, however, Musgraves seems to be broadening that introspection into something larger. The LP features collaborations with several country icons, including Gregory Alan Isakov, Billy Strings, Miranda Lambert, and Willie Nelson. The album’s stark cover — Musgraves beside a longhorn in denim and a cowboy hat — signals a stronger visual embrace of Americana symbolism.
Beginning in Chicago on August 21 and stretching through late October, the Middle of Nowhere Tour includes multi-night stands in New York, Nashville, Los Angeles, and Seattle.
