Country music fans, mark your calendars! Critically acclaimed artist Drake Milligan is charging into his next chapter with the announcement of his new album, Tumbleweed, set for release on November 7. Hailing from Fort Worth, Texas, Milligan has consistently impressed audiences and critics alike with his unique blend of traditional Texas country, Western swing, and modern Nashville stylings—a timeless musicality that channels the spirit of his musical heroes, George Strait and Elvis Presley. To celebrate the news, Milligan is set to take the legendary stage of the Grand Ole Opry tonight, October 17, giving fans an early taste of what’s to come.
A Look at the New Music and Upcoming Tour
The new album, produced by Trent Willmon, will feature 14 tracks, including the recently released title track which has already found success on the UK Country Radio Airplay chart. To coincide with the announcement, Milligan has also dropped a brand-new song, “Old Flames, Old Whiskey,” co-written by Brett and Jim Beavers. The track utilizes Milligan’s smooth baritone to weave a classic country tale of regret and heartbreak, further cementing his place as one of the genre’s most compelling new voices. Fans will be excited to see fellow country star Randall King featured on the album’s closing track, “How Much Beer.”
The excitement doesn’t stop with the album release. Milligan is kicking off “The Tumbleweed World Tour” on November 11 with a headlining show at Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl, which will double as his official album release party. Fresh off opening for giants like Lainey Wilson, Blake Shelton, and Luke Bryan throughout 2025, Milligan’s headlining run will take him across the globe.
Tumbleweed World Tour Goes Global
The global tour schedule underscores Milligan’s rapidly expanding international appeal. After his US dates, including a special pop-up performance at Ole Red in Orlando on November 8, the tour heads to Europe in 2026. Overseas stops will include highly anticipated shows in Paris and Brussels in March 2026, as well as appearances at the C2C Festival across cities like Rotterdam, Berlin, London, Glasgow, and Belfast. This extensive touring schedule guarantees that audiences worldwide will get to experience Milligan’s electrifying performance and re-imagined show.
From his chart-topping debut Dallas/Fort Worth to his 2024 EP Jukebox Songs, Drake Milligan has built a powerful momentum with over 230 million streams worldwide. With Tumbleweed arriving on November 7 and an ambitious world tour launching shortly after, the artist is poised to achieve new heights.
