The Texas troubadour, Randall King, will perform in the UK, Germany, Switzerland and Lichtenstein, with support from Reid Haughton
Following Hereford, Texas native Randall King gracing the international stage earlier this year at C2C Festival in London, the country traditionalist hailed by Billboard as a “hardcore country vocalist” will continue his international trek this Autumn, with a new slate of European tour dates and festival appearances.
Known for his road warrior diet of over 150 dates each year touring across the United States, the hustling King will carry the Autumn leg of his tour through eight new cities in 2023, with stops in London, Manchester and Glasgow in the UK, Berlin, Hamburg and Cologne in Germany, Gstaad in Switzerland and Vaduz in Lichtenstein.
“I’m beyond excited to see the world through my Honkytonk dream and to bring the ‘neon overseas’ to so many great countries,” shares King. “It’s going to be a true thrill to see a side of life I’ve never seen and to play so many iconic venues that have held a lot of my heroes. It’ll be a true honor.”

King most recently released ‘When My Baby’s In Boots‘, detailing the irresistible toe-tapping power a pair of Luccheses have on his girl. This new song is a continuation of his neon era, ushered in by ‘Green Eyes Blue‘ and viral fan favourite ‘You In A Honky Tonk‘, the latter of which featured on his major label debut album Shot Glass, out now via Warner Music Nashville. Paying homage to the influencers of his neotraditional sound, the crooning “Green Eyes Blue” landed critical appraise, with Billboard stating “it’s the honeyed, distinctive timbre of his voice and the vitality in his songs that hoist his staunchly traditional sound above the plethora of recently released, ‘90s country-tinged song”.
King is one of country’s new crop of modern traditionalists, Warner Music Nashville artist Randall King grew up on the endless plains of West Texas – and his sound is steeped in their timeless beauty with a mix of grit and grace. He grew up singing in the back of a ‘93 Chevy Suburban, mimicking the pure-country vocals of stars like Keith Whitley, George Strait, Alan Jackson and John Anderson and over the years became drawn to the electrifying energy of modern stars like Eric Church, Dierks Bentley and Jason Aldean. After years of hustling and a road-warrior’s diet of 150 shows each year, King produced and released the defiant 2016 EP, Another Bullet, then followed up with a 2018 self-titled album. Now, King is bringing an organic, timeless sound to country’s mainstream with his major label debut album Shot Glass. The 11-song collection, seven of which were co-written by King, centres around a night out at a bar, with each track representing a different point of view of those in the room. The album was named to Whiskey Riff’s Top 40 Country Albums of 2022 and Billboard’s All Genre 50 Best Albums of 2022 (So Far), making him the only male country artist to make the list. With over 200+ million career streams to his name, the 2023 Music Mayhem Magazine and 2022 Pandora and Country Now Country Artist to Watch is looking to the anywhere-and-everywhere future with music that captures the essence of a Western poet who’s never been afraid to be himself.
