Rose recruits Griffin Palmer & Lauren Watkins as support
Groundbreaking country artist Lily Rose is kicking off 2023 with an extension of her upcoming headlining tour, adding 10 more stops in the spring. Originally announced in December in six cities, the highly in-demand dates immediately sold out major markets including Boston, Philadelphia, and New York City. Accompanying Rose on all dates will be rising country artist Griffen Palmer as direct support and buzzy newcomer Lauren Watkins. Tickets for the newly released dates will go on sale Friday, January 13th at 10 am CT on lilyrosemusic.net.
The new dates bolster Rose’s already stacked calendar year of touring, joining Shania Twain’s highly anticipated 2023 Queen of Me Tour this fall. After performing over 90 shows last year with country mainstays like Sam Hunt, Chris Lane, and Dylan Scott, fans can expect to hear a jam-packed mix of Rose’s new music and her biggest hits in the energetic live show.
A Georgia native whose inspirations range from Bruce Springsteen to Keith Urban and Katy Perry, Rose broke out in 2020 with the viral smash, “Villain.” Both vulnerable and defiant with a boundary pushing country-meets-R&B sound, the track hit No. 1 on the iTunes all-genre chart and SiriusXM’s The Highway Hot 30 Weekend Countdown, leading to her new, ten song project, Stronger Than I Am. In 2022, Rose was nominated for ACM Best New Female Artist and recognized for Outstanding Breakthrough Artist at the 2022 GLAAD Media Awards.
With her focus firmly on integrity, Rose’s bold mix of personal lyricism and distinctive language meets the hooky sonics of a post-genre fanbase, as pure-country confessions merge with hip hop beats and R&B flow – plus representation where there was none before. All told, it gives new credence to her “groundbreaking” label.
