There is no stopping the 21st century’s most massive musical empire: KIDZ BOP. Since first being introduced in 2001, the self-proclaimed “No. 1 music brand for kids” has transformed pop music’s greatest hits — even the most explicit of chart-toppers — into kid-friendly versions. It’s proven to be a huge success, with multiple albums reaching No. 1 on the U.S. Kids charts nearly every year. Naturally, the KIDZ BOP franchise eventually grew beyond just recording albums to becoming a live performance force to be reckoned with.
After a nationwide talent search, the inaugural KIDZ BOP tour kicked off in 2007 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and hit up venues across the U.S. for more than six months. But it wasn’t until seven years later that the brand took touring to a whole new level.
In 2014, the Dream Big, Sing Loud tour landed in more than 40 cities around the nation with the cast singing current hits by artists like Pharrell Williams, Ed Sheeran, and Katy Perry. This led to similar new tours each year, including 2015’s Make Some Noise tour, 2016’s Life of the Party tour, and 2017’s Best Time Ever tour.
Also in 2017, KIDZ BOP expanded beyond the U.S., forming a cast of British KIDZ BOP Kids exclusively for the U.K. audience. But they also remained a hot ticket in the States, launching the KIDZ BOP Live 2018 Tour, followed by the KIDZ BOP World Tour in 2019.
Of course, each year features new performers, new songs, and new choreography. During these tours, the Kids perform more than 50 live shows each year. The seven-kid cast is chosen through a nationwide casting call that picks young talents to sing on the KIDZ BOP albums, star in their music videos, and travel North America as part of the KIDZ BOP Kids live tours. These kids are all multi-talent threats (some even have Broadway credits already to their name) and may just be future pop stars themselves.

Respected, beloved and fiercely independent, Sturgill Simpson is set to make his highly anticipated return to music this year with the release of the forthcoming full-length album, Passage Du Desir, under a new name, Johnny Blue Skies. The eight-song album was produced by Johnny Blue Skies and David Ferguson and recorded at Clement House Recording Studio in Nashville, TN and Abbey Road Studios in London, England.
Simpson and his band–Kevin Black (bass), Robbie Crowell (keys), Laur Joamets (guitar) and Miles Miller (drums)–will also make their long-awaited return to the road this fall with the “Why Not? Tour.” Simpson’s first full tour in over four years, the extensive headline run includes stops at L.A.’s The Greek Theatre, Washington State’s The Gorge Amphitheatre, Lexington’s Rupp Arena, Chicago’s Salt Shed (two nights), Queens’ Forest Hills Stadium and Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena among many more. Simpson will also headline Outside Lands and Austin City Limits Music Festival.
Since his debut, Simpson has released five full-length studio albums–2013’s High Top Mountain, 2014’s Metamodern Sounds in Country Music, 2016’s A Sailor’s Guide to Earth, 2019’s Sound & Fury and 2021’s The Ballad of Dood and Juanita–along with the 2020 projects, Cuttin’ Grass Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. Throughout his singular career, Simpson has relentlessly pushed against expectations, earning widespread acclaim and countless accolades including a Grammy Award in 2017 for Best Country Album and six Grammy nominations across four genres: country, rock, bluegrass and americana.

Jon Pardi, country music’s California cowboy, has brought the West Coast to Nashville with four Top 5 albums on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart, four platinum-certified No. 1 singles on the Country Airplay chart and six North American headlining tours since 2014. The Dixon, California native moved to Music City and cut his teeth opening for Dierks Bentley before releasing a slew of successful singles including 2012’s “Missin’ You Crazy” and 2013’s “Up All Night” ahead of his debut album Write You a Song in 2014. Pardi’s 2016 follow-up, California Sunrise, featured his first two Country Airplay No. 1 singles “Head Over Boots” and “Dirt on My Boots,” while 2022’s Mr. Saturday Night hosted his highest-charting song on the Billboard Hot 100, “Last Night Lonely.” In 2023, he became the first California native to be invited to join the Grand Ole Opry….
Raised on the Bakersfield honky tonk of Buck Owens and traditional country like Johnny Cash and Hank Williams, Dwight Yoakam has created more than a dozen studio albums of his own self-described hillbilly music over nearly four decades. On his 2012 collection, “3 Pears,” the Kentucky-born performer reached out to Kid Rock and Ashley Monroe of Pistol Annies for co-writing help on a couple songs, while Beck co-produced the successful set.
Ticket buyers know a slew of Yoakam singles when they head to his concerts — from the chart-topping “Guitars Cadillacs” from the similarly-titled 1986 debut and “I Sang Dixie” off of 1988’s “Buenas Noches from a Lonely Room” to 1993’s “A Thousand Miles from Nowhere.” And when he’s not on the tour bus canvassing the nation, the singer/songwriter may be on a movie set. His acting credits include critically acclaimed roles as an abusive boyfriend in “Sling Blade” and a psychopath killer in “Panic Room.”

Lauren Daigle has dominated the charts since the release of her Grammy Award-winning 2018 album Look Up Child. The album also debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart, making Daigle the first female artist to simultaneously hit the top 10 on both Billboard’s Pop and Top Christian Album charts. Look Up Child’s hit single “You Say” saw the Louisiana-born singer-songwriter cross over into the mainstream; the song was certified six-times platinum, spending 100 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs chart. In 2023, Daigle released her self-titled fourth studio album (her first for a major label, Atlantic Records), which features folk, jazz and R&B influences. The Christian pop powerhouse also brought her soulful rasp and emotional storytelling to the road when she headed out on her highly-anticipated U.S. arena tour, dubbed The Kaleidoscope Tour….
