Ahead of his highly anticipated UK debut at C2C Festival next week, Max McNown has announced his first-ever UK tour, set for December 2025. The tour will include performances in Glasgow, Manchester, and London. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, March 7, and will be available for purchase online.
Max McNown, a singer-songwriter from Bend, Oregon, crafts deeply personal songs that resonate with moments of heartache, loss, transformation, and revelation. Within a year of teaching himself guitar, he independently released three EPs that showcased his emotionally rich and nuanced songwriting. His breakout single, “A Lot More Free,” landed on Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart and expanded his growing grassroots following. Now based in Nashville, McNown’s debut album ‘Wandering' brings a heightened sense of purpose to his music, highlighting his warm vocal delivery honed through years of busking on the beaches of Southern California. Our review of his recent album ‘Night Diving' can be found right here.
At just 23, McNown’s musical journey has been remarkable. Inspired by his brother’s battle with cancer, he took control of his future by leaving his remote Oregon hometown for California, where his pier-side performances gained traction online and built a dedicated fanbase on TikTok. Despite offers from major TV talent shows, McNown chose to forge his own path, a decision that has paid off as he has amassed 80 million streams and a loyal following. His single “A Lot More Free” recently topped the TikTok Breakthrough USA chart, further solidifying his status as a rising star.
