COUNTRY HITMAKER’S GLOBAL HEADLINE RUN KICKS OFF ON 9/17, ALL TICKETS ON SALE FRIDAY (5/15)
NASHVILLE, TENN. – Today, country hitmaker Ashley Cooke announces the baby blues world tour — a global headline run launching on September 17 and continuing through February 25 at the legendary Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. General on-sale for the 28-date trek begins this Friday (5/15) at 10 a.m. local time with $1 of every ticket sold going towards the Ashley Cooke Fund to benefit The Onsite Foundation’s Creatives Support Network, which provides free mental-health support, education, and resources specifically designed for members of the songwriting community. Visit ashleycooke.com for more info, and see below for the full list of tour dates and venues.
With stops at bucket-list venues like 9:30 Club in Washington, DC (September 18), Irving Plaza in New York City (September 24), and El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles (October 8), Cooke’s latest headline tour borrows its name from the longtime live favorite “baby blues” — a recent No. 1 hit on SiriusXM The Highway’s Hot 30 Countdown. The soulful and smoldering track is set to appear on Cooke’s highly anticipated self-titled sophomore album, due out via Big Loud Records/Back Blocks Music on August 14. Go here to pre-order/pre-save ashley cooke now.
After kicking off at Globe Iron in Cleveland, the baby blues world tour will make its way through major cities like Boston (September 19), Seattle (October 14), and Austin (February 18). Early next year, Cooke will bring her star-making live show overseas for a run of UK dates, including stops in Belfast (January 22), Glasgow (January 24), London (January 29), and Manchester (January 30). Along the way, she’ll be supported by a packed lineup of breakout talent: Big Loud labelmate Timmy McKeever (September 17 – 26), Florida-bred singer/songwriter McCoy Moore (October 1 – 3 and November 5 – 7), all-female trio Just Jayne (October 8 – 10), Country up-and-comer Aniston Pate (October 14 – 16) and Alabama-born rising star Hannah McFarland (February 18 – 20).
Whether she’s delivering a stripped-down acoustic moment or a full-band anthem, Cooke captivates crowds with her soul-baring honesty and effortless charisma. Last year, she wrapped up her coast-to-coast your place tour (a U.S. headline trek named after her Gold-certified country radio No. 1 hit), then spent much of 2025 on the road with the likes of Kane Brown and Parker McCollum. Fresh off her recent run as support for Jon Pardi‘s HONKYTONK HOLLYWOOD TOUR, she’s also toured with heavy-hitters like Luke Bryan, Jordan Davis and more.
This weekend, Cooke will co-host and perform at “ACM Next Wave: Country’s Beach Bash” — an Academy of Country Music Awards Week event slated for May 16 at Mandalay Bay Beach in Las Vegas, also featuring Flatland Cavalry, Tucker Wetmore, Braxton Keith and more. (Go herefor ticketing details.) Before embarking on the baby blues world tour, Cooke will also take the stage at can’t-miss summer festivals like Hoofbeat (June 27 in Cadott, WI).

ABOUT ASHLEY COOKE
One of country’s most magnetic young storytellers, Ashley Cooke made her unforgettable debut with 2023’s shot in the dark and soon scored her first country radio No. 1 with “your place” — a Gold-certified, Billboard Hot 100-charting hit that later won a 2024 CMT Music Award for Breakthrough Female Video of the Year. With a voice that carries both tenderness and quiet confidence, she’s since garnered nominations for New Female Artist of the Year at the ACM Awards and Best New Country Artist at the iHeartRadio Music Awards. While building up an acclaimed body of work including 2025’s ace — a nine-song project featuring her Country radio smash “the hell you are” and longtime fan favorite “baby blues” (a No. 1 hit on SiriusXM The Highway’s Hot 30 Countdown) — Cooke has collaborated with major artists ranging from Pop superstar Joe Jonas (“All I Forgot”) to Country hitmaker Brantley Gilbert (“Over When We’re Sober”). Known for her emotionally charged and high-energy live show, she’s also toured with heavy-hitters like Luke Bryan, Parker McCollum, Kane Brown, and recently hit the road as support for Jon Pardi’s HONKYTONK HOLLYWOOD TOUR. As her profile continues to rise, Cooke made a cameo appearance in March on CBS’ Marshals (the newly launched spinoff of the blockbuster Western saga Yellowstone), just before heading overseas for C2C: Country to Country 2026 (including a performance at the iconic O2 Arena in London). With her self-titled sophomore album due out August 14, she’s now gearing up to take the stage at leading festivals like Hoofbeat (6/27 in Cadott, WI). Later this year, Cooke will embark on the baby blues world tour — a 28-date international headline run launching on September 17 and continuing through February 25 at the legendary Ryman Auditorium.
