Kip Moore Adds International Stops To Headlining Wild Ones Tour

Multi-PLATINUM singer/songwriter Kip Moore announced that he will be crossing the pond once more to play a string of headlining dates in the UK and Ireland as part of the second leg of his WILD ONES TOUR.

Kicking off on 4/22 in Dublin, IE Moore’s return to Europe follows a triumphant visit earlier last year where he stunned crowds at the O2 Arena in London ending his set with a poignant cover of native band Oasis’ “Don’t Look Back In Anger” with Rolling Stone revealing that the “highlight arrived toward the end of the song, when he took out his inner-ear monitors and led the 20,000-capacity through a singalong of the final chorus.” Moore’s shows in Europe will come hot on the heels of his first dates scheduled in Australia. For a full list of tour dates and more information visit www.kipmoore.net.

“I was blown away by the warmth and passion of the crowds when we played Europe last year,” said Moore.  “It felt like we were playing for old friends and I knew that I wanted to go back as soon as I could.  And we’re taking it a bit further, well a whole lot further, when we go to Australia for the first time.  This whole journey started for me by getting out on the road and building fans one by one, so to be able to bring our show to some new places this year is really exciting.”
