Megan Moroney Announces First Arena Tour, Hitting 43 Cities in 2026

Megan Moroney will launch her debut headlining arena tour, "Cloud 9," in May 2026, a major career milestone timed with her third studio album of the same name. The album, slated for release on February 9, signals a thematic evolution from the reflective tones of her "Am I Okay?" period into a brighter, pink-infused aesthetic that will define the live show. This expansive tour will cover North America before moving to Europe, underscoring her rapid ascent in country music.

The North American leg kicks off on May 29 at Columbus's Schottenstein Center. The schedule includes major stops like Los Angeles's Crypto.com Arena on August 7—a logical step up from her sold-out performance at the city's more intimate Greek Theatre—as well as Brooklyn's Barclays Center and Newark's Prudential Center in July. The U.S. run concludes with a hometown finale at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on August 21. Following a break, a nine-city European segment begins in mid-September, featuring shows in London, Paris, and Stockholm, before the tour wraps on October 1 in Belfast.

General ticket sales commence on December 12 at 10 a.m. local time through meganmoroney.com. This announcement highlights Moroney's swift commercial growth; industry analysts point to her relatable lyricism as key to building a fanbase now demanding larger venues. Just prior to the sale, she will be in Los Angeles to accept the Storyteller of the Year award at Variety's Hitmakers event, a recognition of the narrative depth in hits like "6 Months Later" and across her previous albums, "Lucky" and "Am I Okay?".

The full itinerary spans dozens of cities. Key North American dates include Chicago's United Center (June 2), Atlanta's State Farm Arena (June 8), Toronto's Scotiabank Arena (June 20), Boston's TD Garden (July 7), and Dallas's American Airlines Center (August 14). The European leg includes venues like London's Eventim Apollo (September 23) and Paris's Le Trianon (September 21). This ambitious routing reflects a strategic global push, with the European dates notably targeting iconic mid-size halls that have historically served as launchpads for country artists expanding their international reach.

Moroney's rise is a testament to the power of songwriting in modern country. Her 2023 debut album "Lucky," which spawned the breakout hit "Tennessee Orange," established her as a sharp, emotive storyteller, earning critical praise and a devoted following. The upcoming "Cloud 9" tour, with its scale and thematic cohesion, represents not just a promotional cycle but a definitive graduation to music's biggest stages.
