Oliver Anthony, the trailblazing artist who made music history this year by debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard charts without any previous chart presence, is set to embark on his first headline international tour in February 2024. The tour, aptly named ‘Out of The Woods,’ signifies Anthony’s universal appeal, attracting fans from all walks of life.
Tickets for the tour will be available for purchase starting at 10 am on Friday, November 17. A significant milestone in Anthony’s breakthrough year, he is nominated for two awards at the Billboard Music Awards, including Top Song Sales Artist and Top Selling Song.
Anthony’s rise to fame began with the release of ‘Rich Men North of Richmond,’ hailed as the nation’s “blue-collar anthem.” The song resonates powerfully with audiences worldwide and has garnered over 200 million streams across various platforms, including YouTube. Additional successes include five songs landing in iTunes’ Top 10, with ‘I’ve Got to Get Sober’ reaching No. 3 and ‘Ain’t Got a Dollar’ claiming the No. 2 spot. The latter also secured the No. 1 position on Spotify’s Viral 50 list.
Known as a musical poet of the people, Anthony’s distinctive and emotionally charged voice reflects his personal battles, addressing issues such as the nation’s wealth gap, suicide rate, high taxes, and abuse of power. He has become a voice for those living without hope, particularly in small-town and rural America.
Expressing his gratitude for the overwhelming response to his music, Anthony shares, “It’s been challenging understanding what my purpose is and what I’m supposed to do with the opportunity I’ve been given. I don’t deserve one bit of any of this.”
The ‘Out of The Woods’ tour takes its name from Anthony’s connection to the natural world. Anthony explains, “I am drawn to the rolling hills, flowing creeks, swaying pines, and mighty oaks of rural Virginia. Nature doesn’t concern itself with the problems of man. And when I’m immersed in it, neither do I.”
The tour, launching in Stockholm on February 1, includes stops in major cities across Europe, the UK, and the US, with additional dates in Australia and beyond. Anthony admits to feeling both thrilled and terrified about this upcoming tour, emphasizing his desire to connect with other “lost souls” battling sobriety, depression, debt, and divorce.
