Randall King is preparing for his return to the UK, Scandinavia, the Netherlands and Germany this August for a string of headlining shows and festival appearances, as part of the European extension of his Into The Neon Tour.
This follows the acclaimed release of the “outlandishly talented” (Country Music People) Texas singer-songwriter’s 18-track sophomore album Into The Neon, released in January via Warner Music Nashville and available to stream/download worldwide now.
Having built his reputation as a road warrior in the U.S., King spent much of the last year playing for international audiences, with an appearance at C2C Festival (2023) in London, returning later in the year to play sold-out, upgraded headline shows across the UK & Germany. Earlier this year, he played his biggest performances to date on the mainstage at C2C Festival in Berlin and Rotterdam, joining superstar headliners Brad Paisley and Old Dominion.
During his time in Berlin, King recorded performance videos for the album title track “Into The Neon” (watch here) and fan-favourite “I Could Be That Rain” (watch here). Fans who missed the Texas native in Berlin can catch him this summer headlining Sound of Nashville’s Open Air Festival in Cologne.
“I’m incredibly blessed to get to say that I tour the world” shared King. “It’s amazing to me that I get to go back for a third time to Europe because of you amazing fans!”
Making an impression during his debut in the Netherlands at C2C Rotterdam, Randall King has recently upgraded his venue in Amsterdam due to phenomenal demand and will now be performing at Melkweg Max. Support on all headline shows will come from Alaska-born, Louisiana-raised artist and songwriter Dan Smalley.
As he told Texas Monthly in February, “I’ve seen everywhere I can see in Texas, and I love it. But I’m looking at the whole world.”

With inspiration drawn from the hues of neon that backlit his budding career – inclusive of the glowing skies in the plains of West Texas where he was raised and the radiant signs of the nearly 150 honky tonks he performs in each year throughout the U.S. – Into The Neon is a humble recollection of King’s experiences and observations.
Co-produced by King alongside Jared Conrad, Into The Neon incorporates a unique blend of the influences from icons and modern masters alike who have inspired King’s sound; inclusive of the timeless country twang of George Strait and Keith Whitley, and the blood pumping, Y2K-era rhythms of Dierks Bentley and Gary Allan.
