Grammy, CMA and ACM Award-winning artist Lainey Wilson confirms her Whirlwind World Tour will kick off in March. Produced by Live Nation and sponsored by Coors Light and Wrangler, the tour will include a stop at Pine Knob Music Theatre on September 26. Special guests on the show include Muscadine Bloodline and Lauren Watkins. Pine Knob Music Theatre is presented by Proud Partners United Wholesale Mortgage, Trinity Health and Ally.
The upcoming performances add to yet another landmark year for Wilson, who is nominated for Best Country Album at this weekend’s 67th Annual Grammy Awards for her acclaimed record, Whirlwind. Produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Jay Joyce (Miranda Lambert, Eric Church), Whirlwind was released via BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville this past summer and earned Wilson her best sales week ever as the record debuted at #8 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart – her first top 10 entry. The album features her current Top 5 country radio single “4x4xU” which is geared up to be her eighth #1 hit. Stream/purchase Whirlwind HERE.

Wilson also received two awards at this year’s ACM Honors: the prestigious Triple Crown Award—presented to those who have won ACM Entertainer of the Year, Female/Male Vocalist of the Year and New Female/Male Vocalist of the Year—and the Milestone Award, which is given to an artist who has had an unprecedented or outstanding year in country music.
A prolific and sought-after songwriter, Wilson has scored seven #1 hits including “Watermelon Moonshine” and the 2x PLATINUM Certified “Heart Like A Truck,” and has also collaborated with artists such as Post Malone (“Nosedive”), Cole Swindell (“Never Say Never”), Jelly Roll (“Save Me”) and HARDY (“wait in the truck”). She is also a triple threat within entertainment as a singer, songwriter and actor, as she made her acting debut in season 5 of Paramount’s hit series Yellowstone and recently returned for its final episode of the series. Moreover, Wilson wrote and recorded “Out of Oklahoma,” which was featured in the new Twisters movie.
