On the heels of his most successful album to date, ‘Vaquero’ (2017) and the release of latest country radio single ‘Run Wild Horses’, Aaron Watson has announced his latest tour of the UK this September, headlining shows in Glasgow, Manchester, London and The Long Road Festival in Leicestershire. Having played over 2,500 shows in his fifteen-year career as an independent artist, with nearly half a million headline tickets sold in the last 18 months, Watson has made it a priority to tour internationally and visit fans in the UK, Europe and worldwide since his previous record ‘The Underdog’ (2015) struck a chord with audiences overseas; partly thanks to ongoing support from the likes of Bob Harris on BBC R2 and Chris Country Radio, among others. His most recent effort ‘Vaquero’ has been met with an overwhelmingly positive response in the mainstream country market, reaching the Top 10 on the all-genre Billboard Albums chart with his biggest career sales debut to date, and #2 on the Top Country Albums chart, with a number of “Best Album of 2017” nods including Whiskey Riff and the #1 spot on Taste of Country’s year end list, proclaiming the project “a rich collection of cowboy poetry.”
