If you’ve had "Dry Spell" or "Uncertain, TX" on repeat since May 1st, get your rhinestones ready. The Space Cowboy is officially returning to the stage, and she’s bringing her seventh studio album, Middle of Nowhere, back to the very place that inspired it: Texas.
Since dropping the new record earlier this month, Kacey has proven once again why she is the reigning queen of "cosmic country." Middle of Nowhere isn’t just an album title—it’s a tribute to her roots in Golden, Texas (population: way less than the crowd at the Moody Center). This tour promises to be a homecoming for the ages, blending her signature wit with the high-desert, pedal-steel-soaked sounds of her latest era.
🤠 The Texas Takeover
Texas fans are getting some extra love on this run. Here are the dates you need to mark in your calendar:
- Houston, TX - October 5th - Toyota Center
- Austin, TX - October 7th - Moody Center
- Austin, TX - October 8th - Moody Center
- Dallas, TX - October 10th - American Airlines Center
- Dallas, TX - October 11th - American Airlines Center
For those who have been following Kacey since the Texas Two Bits days, her meteoric rise has been nothing short of legendary. For the newcomers, here’s why she’s a big deal:
-
The Breakthrough: She shook up Nashville in 2013 with Same Trailer Different Park, winning Best Country Album at the Grammys and championing "Follow Your Arrow"—a song that became an anthem for being exactly who you are.
-
The Golden Era: In 2018, she released Golden Hour, a genre-bending masterpiece that swept the "Big Three" (Grammys, CMA, and ACM) for Album of the Year. It solidified her as a bridge between country, pop, and disco.
- The Legacy: With 8 Grammy Awards and a record-breaking #1 duet with Zach Bryan ("I Remember Everything"), Kacey has spent two decades evolving from a small-town yodeling champion to a global icon.
💿 About the New Album: Middle of Nowhere
Released on May 1, 2026, this album marks a return to her Texas dancehall influences, but with a modern, reflective twist. Working again with long-time collaborators Ian Fitchuk and Daniel Tashian, Kacey explores "liminal spaces"—those quiet, undefined moments in life.
Expect to hear the hauntingly beautiful "I Believe In Ghosts" and the upbeat, cheeky "Back On The Wagon" live for the first time. Plus, rumors are swirling about some special guests popping up during the Texas leg (we see you, Willie!).
