News: Kacey Musgraves Announces UK Tour For 2027 And New Album
3 min read
In the wake of the release of her sixth studio album Middle of Nowhere (released May 1st via Lost Highway), Kacey Musgraves today announces her return to the UK for a headline tour in February 2027.
The announcement follows a surprise Coachella performance and Kacey’s recent trip to London where she performed two intimate shows at Circuit in Kingston, before a hilarious appearance where she crashed her own lookalike contest.
The dates will be the first time Kacey has toured the UK since May 2024 on her Deeper Well World Tour. This upcoming run will see Kacey headline arenas in Glasgow and Manchester, before returning to OVO Wembley Arena in London for the first time since her headline show there in 2018. It follows the recent announcement of Kacey’s Middle of Nowhere Arena Tour in the US, which kicks off on Thursday August 20th in Chicago. Full itinerary below.
Middle of Nowhere, produced by Kacey alongside longtime collaborators Daniel Tashian and Ian Fitchuk, exhales with a dust-blown clarity that feels both evocative and sure. The album draws from the sounds, stories, and sensibilities that shaped the Golden, Texas native. A literal sign in Musgraves’ tiny, unincorporated, no-stoplight hometown, population under 300, that reads “Golden, TX: Somewhere in the Middle of Nowhere” sparked the idea for the title track and symbolic throughline of the album, speaking to something deeper and more nuanced.
Written during a period of post-breakup reflection, this album finds Musgraves leaning intentionally into open space and traditional western elements, and as always, earnestly examining the human experience. Pedal steel, accordion, and Texas dancehall rhythms provide a nostalgic framework that she flips on its head in signature fashion. It is a sonic love letter to the musical borders of Country, echoing influence from adjacent genres such as bluegrass, pop, and even bits of Norteño and Zydeco. It feels both fresh, familiar, and classically Kacey. Honest, fearless, immersive, and always ready to wink at life’s twists, turns, and troubles.
The album’s first single ‘Dry Spell’ along with its accompanying video, co-directed by Musgraves and Hannah Lux Davis, is boldly hilarious and self-aware. The track blazes with sharp wit while delivering tight turns of phrase and a modern blend of classic sounds. It is joined by the title track ‘Middle of Nowhere’ and new single, ‘Loneliest Girl’. The album also features collaborations with Willie Nelson, Miranda Lambert, Billy Strings, and Gregory Alan Isakov, further highlighting its deep Texas roots and genreless spirit.
