New York, NY (Top40 Charts / Hollywood Records/Industrial Media) Hollywood Records/Industrial Media's 19 Recordings artist Laine Hardy announced his first headline tour today. After a triumphant show at this past weekend's KABOO Festival, which included
Kings of Leon,
Dave Matthews Band, Maren Morris,
Mumford & Sons amongst dozens of other music luminaries, Hardy also has a homecoming show next weekend on
September 28 at North Park in Denham Springs, Louisiana. Laine has two additional pre-tour shows with
Toby Keith October 5th in Charleston, South Carolina, and with
Jimmie Allen October 24th in Nashville, Tennessee. Tickets for the 2019 Tour go on sale this Friday,
September 20. "This is the moment I've been working toward…going out on my own tour!" said Hardy. "I can't wait to share the new songs I've been working on."
Earlier this year, Hardy was voted the winner of ABC's American Idol. The Livingston, Louisiana-born Laine wowed fans and judges alike throughout the season with his honey-toned swampy bayou rock performances. Hardy charmed viewers, and showed his versatility with covers by artists ranging from Queen, Hank Williams,
Sam Cooke and
Elton John to The Beatles. Since then, the humble Hardy has spent time at home with his family, and fishing and boating on his beloved Bayou. In addition, Hardy has been in Nashville hard at work, writing and preparing to release new music soon. Tour dates are below.
