Koe Wetzel ushers in next era with ‘Surrounded’

The new song & visualizer are due on July 25th

Koe Wetzel returns this week with the highly anticipated release of “Surrounded,” the first official preview of new music since his chart-topping 9 Lives. The long-awaited single arrives this Friday, July 25th, alongside an official visualizer.

Initially teased during a radio event in February, “Surrounded” has since become a fixture in Wetzel’s live set, building buzz through headline and festival performances across the country, including standout moments at Country Fest, Country Boom and Windy City Smokeout – where he also appeared on ABC’s Good Morning America as the celebrity guest judge for their onsite BBQ competition.

“‘Surrounded’ felt like the right way to kick off this next chapter,” shares Wetzel of the hard-driving track that delves into the feeling of being trapped by a memory you can’t outrun. “The way fans locked into it live from the jump has been wild, so we’re fired up to finally let the full thing loose this week.”

The release of “Surrounded” follows a landmark year that saw Wetzel hit five consecutive weeks at No. 1 with 9 Lives standout “High Road” featuring Jessie Murph, three new RIAA certifications at the sold-out Red Rocks finale of the Damn Near Normal World Tour, and even spawned its live album. The Damn Near Normal World Tour saw the renegade rockstar perform for over 200,000 fans globally with over 96 percent of all headlining tickets sold.

Wetzel is fresh off a pair of home-state stadium dates in Texas with Morgan Wallen and amid a high-energy run of summer festival dates amid Jim Bob World Tour legs with Hardy.
