Breakout country artist announces 24 stops

Big Loud’s country songstress Ashley Cooke embarks on her first-ever headlining tour, bringing her highly anticipated album direct to fans nationwide, beginning on August 23rd in Panama City, FL. The Shot in the Dark Tour will take Cooke’s sun-kissed blend of two-lane pop country to 24 cities this summer and fall, calling upon rising artists Matt Schuster and Vincent Mason as support. Fans can secure tickets during the public on-sale beginning June 30th at 10 am local time.

“Putting out my debut album is already a dream in itself, but to experience the roller coaster journey of this album together, in person each night, is why I do what I do and I’ll cherish every moment,” shares Cooke. “It’s an incredible opportunity to have talented artists like Matt Schuster and Vincent Mason joining me on this tour, and I’m counting down the days til I can see y’all out there!”

The exciting live show announcement comes just days after Cooke unveiled that her highly anticipated debut album will arrive July 21st. In a preview of what’s to come, Cooke released three all-new tracks off the 24-song collection this past Friday, including title-track “Shot in the Dark,” “Mean Girl” featuring Colbie Caillat and “Tastes Like.” Capturing true tales of love, heartbreak and all the moments in between, the long-awaited debut fearlessly explores the roller coaster of life, inviting listeners to savor every raw and relatable moment. With more music on the way ahead of the July 21 release, Cooke’s shot in the dark record is poised to become one of the longest debut albums by a female country artist to date.

Cooke’s headlining tour follows an impressive year of touring, including her first overseas performance at C2C, tours with Cole Swindell, Jordan Davis and Brett Young, and her stadium debut at Nissan Stadium during CMA Fest. Prior to embarking on her headlining tour, Cooke will join country megastar Luke Bryan’s Country On Tour this summer, kicking off on July 13th in Hershey, PA.
