Drake White has announced that he will bring his mammoth live show across the pond with a UK leg of the Optimystic Tour. Tickets go on sale on Friday at 10am GMT.
Drake White has announced that he will bring his Optimystic Tour to the UK for a run of five dates in August 2022. Tickets go on sale this Friday (3/25) at 10 a.m. GMT.
The week-long trek will kick off with an electric headlining appearance from White at the Millport Country Music Festival before he visits Manchester, London and Bristol, wrapping with a headlining stop at The Long Road Festival in Leicestershire.
These upcoming shows mark a return to the UK for White, who has been touring the area for the past eight years.
“I have my grandfather’s globe in my studio and I remember looking at it before I could grow a beard,” White shares. “A stroke and a pandemic kept me from playing abroad the last few years, but I’m happy to announe we are headed your way!”
The international run is in support of White’s latest studio album, THE OPTIMYSTIC, which arrived on March 11 and is racking up glowing reviews from critics and fans alike.
White is currently on tour with Whiskey Myers on their WHISKEY MYERS IS A COMIN’ TOUR through March 26 before moving to the Spring leg of his THE OPTIMYSTIC TOUR in the US. White will be joined by Kasey Tyndall on all dates of his Spring run. Find full tour details here.
