Acclaimed Country Artist Joins Luke Bryan, Lainey Wilson & More on Tour

Critically acclaimed country artist Drake Milligan is gearing up for a major 2025 with the launch of his dynamic tour, “Drake Milligan In Concert.” Spanning major cities in the U.S., Canada, and Europe, the tour promises a mix of headlining shows and special appearances opening for country powerhouses like Luke Bryan and Lainey Wilson.

The tour will officially kick off on April 25 at California’s iconic Stagecoach Festival, before heading to cities like New York, Nashville, and beyond. Fans can expect a fresh blend of Milligan’s original music alongside some nostalgic nods to classic country hits.

From American Idol to Blake Shelton to Now

Milligan has proven his place among country music’s rising stars. Known for his smooth, George Strait-inspired vocals, Milligan first captivated national audiences with his appearance on “American Idol” and “America’s Got Talent.” His music has since charted on iTunes, and he recently starred as Elvis Presley in the hit CMT series “Sun Records.”

Milligan’s career skyrocketed after a viral moment earlier this year when he opened for Shelton, who invited Milligan onstage for a surprise duet of “All My Ex’s Live in Texas.” The performance left fans and the internet buzzing, showcasing Milligan’s natural stage presence and his love for traditional country music. This moment further solidified his recognition as one of MusicRow’s “Next Big Thing” artists for 2025.

Following his viral success on social media, particularly with his Christmas hit “Cowgirls for Christmas,” Milligan is set for a standout year. His fans can look forward to a tour packed with both new music and country classics, as well as VIP packages offering early venue entry, a one-song acoustic set, and an exclusive Q&A with Milligan himself.

Sharing the Stage with Country Royalty

Milligan’s “Drake Milligan In Concert” tour will feature him as the opener for country giants Bryan and Wilson. Bryan, a five-time Entertainer of the Year and “American Idol” judge, is known for his high-energy performances and chart-topping hits like “Country Girl (Shake It for Me)” and “Play It Again.” Wilson, fresh off multiple award wins and a breakout role on “Yellowstone,” has quickly become one of country’s most celebrated voices, with hits like “Heart Like a Truck” and “Things a Man Oughta Know.”

Sharing the stage with these country heavyweights allows Milligan to introduce his sound to a massive new audience, cementing his place among country’s biggest stars.
