Chris Young launches inaugural ‘It Must Be Christmas’ acoustic tour

Chris Young has announced that he will embark on his first holiday tour – ‘It Must Be Christmas – An Acoustic Evening with Chris Young'.

Tickets for the 15-date headlining shows are on sale starting Friday 8th August 2-25, at 10:00 a.m. local time at chrisyoungcountry.com. Young will be sharing the spirit of the season with his live take on holiday classics featured on his ‘It Must Be Christmas' album.

“Christmas is probably my favorite holiday,” shares Young. “Music was always heavily tied to the spirit of the season for me, so I can’t wait to celebrate that feeling with everyone out on the road this year!”

The Christmas tour news comes on the heels of announcing a brand-new album — “I Didn’t Come Here To Leave” — releasing 17th October 12025. The project marks the start of a new chapter. His tenth album, and first with Black River Entertainment, is a landmark project featuring 14 fresh songs over eleven co-writes. The album’s fall release date also coincides with another special milestone — the GRAMMY-nominated vocalist’s 8th anniversary of his induction into the exclusive membership of the Grand Ole Opry.
