Koe Wetzel wraps US tour with three new RIAA certifications

The country star was presented with the awards at a sold-out Red Rocks show

Spanning 28 sold-out dates across the country, Koe Wetzel’s Damn Near Normal World Tour wrapped its US leg emphatically this weekend, bringing the live show to the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre, even treating fans to the rarely-performed-live “Honey Pain.” Before the sold-out stateside finale, Wetzel was also presented with three plaques celebrating the new RIAA platinum certification of his current single “High Road” as well as the gold certification of hits “Sweet Dreams” and “Creeps.”

“Every year that we’re out on the road seeing the fans singing every word of these songs, I think to myself that it can’t possibly get bigger or better – and then the next tour rolls around and it does,” he reflected following the show. “Red Rocks is up there with some of my favorite shows we’ve ever played and I’m so grateful to the people who show up every night. We can’t wait to keep this thing rolling across the pond… hope you’re ready for some rowdy Texas boys headed your way!”

Wetzel’s debut single at country radio, “High Road” featuring Jessie Murph, also continues its impressive momentum, cresting the top 20 at country radio while also impacting Top 40 and Hot AC. It currently sits at No. 16 on the country radio charts since its release 14 weeks ago.

Following the release of his critically acclaimed fifth studio album 9 Lives earlier this year, which has accumulated more than 500 million streams globally after debuting at No. 15 on the all-genre Billboard 200 and No. 5 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, and No. 2 among new releases behind only the Twisters soundtrack, Wetzel recently released fan-favorite track “Casamigos” along with an official music video and has teased even more new music on the horizon as he gears up to head overseas for a run of shows through November.

Wetzel will also bring the holiday spirit home to Texas this Christmas, with two Wetzel’s Wonderland Live shows set for Friday, December 27th and Saturday, December 28th in Austin and Fort Worth, respectively.
