TEXAS SINGER & SONGWRITER DYLAN GOSSETT “THE WESTWARD TOUR”

Following the recent announcement of his highly-anticipated debut album Westward releasing July 18th, Platinum-Certified and critically acclaimed singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Dylan Gossett reveals his newly-announced headline run dubbed “The Westward Tour,” which will see him performing in the biggest venues of his career thus far across North America this fall.

The tour kicks off on September 11th in Birmingham, AL and runs through November, including shows at Brooklyn’s Brooklyn Paramount, Boston’s MGM Music Hall at Fenway, Toronto’s History, Los Angeles’ The Wiltern, Denver’s Mission Ballroom, Pittsburgh Stage AE, Columbus’ Kemba Live!, Detroit’s Royal Oak Music Theatre, and more. Not to mention, Gossett will also make his debut at Austin City Limits in October. Tickets for “The Westward Tour” will go on sale via artist presale on May 19th at 12pm ET / 9am PT and general on-sale on Thursday, May 22nd at 10am local time at www.dylangossett.com.

Written over the span of the past two years while touring the globe, the 17-track Westwardalbum was written and entirely self-produced by Gossett. Featuring his signature heart-on-his-sleeve storytelling and exploring themes of love, family, faith, and chasing one’s dreams, the album includes his recent singles “American Trail” and “Like I Do.” Gossett shares, “I think Westward means two things, generally. This album is very on-the-road written. You have all these bits and pieces from these stories that are really just about life on the road. The other side of it, and where the Westward title comes into play, was that these past few years have been so crazy and just incredible. I feel like we’ve been chasing our dream the whole way.”

He adds, “People have always headed west for opportunities and chase their dreams by going out there. That’s where I tie it in a little bit, metaphorically. Everyone on the crew is chasing their dreams, in some way.” Watch the official album trailer HERE.

Cementing himself as a global touring force, Gossett sold over 72,000 global tickets in 2024 alone. Currently on the second leg of his headline “The Back 40 Tour” and recently making his Stagecoach Festival debut, up next, he’ll hit the road this summer on “The American Trail Tour” across the midwest and west, ahead of “The Westward Tour” this fall. His festival run will also continue throughout the summer, with performances at Carolina Country Festival, Windy City Smokeout, Under The Big Sky, Bourbon & Beyond, and the newly announced Austin City Limits. In addition, Gossett will also make his debut at Nashville’s legendary Grand Ole Opry on June 4th as part of their “Opry 100 Celebrates CMA Fest” event.

Over the past two years, Dylan Gossett has emerged as one of the biggest and brightest new stars in country music. In less than two years, he has notched over 800 million total streams. His breakout single “Coal” picked up a Platinum Certification in the United States, in addition to going Silver in the U.K., Platinum in Australia, 2x-Platinum in Canada, and 2x-Platinum in Ireland. The song marked his first entry on the Spotify U.S. Top 200 Chart, Billboard Hot 100 Chart, and U.K. Official Singles Chart Top 100. Not to mention, it broke into the Top 25 of the Billboard Country Digital Songs Chart and Top 5 of the Spotify Viral 50 U.S. and Global Charts. It’s no wonder major players such as Spotify and Amazon pegged him as an “Artist To Watch” in 2024, while Music Row named him among its “Next Big Thing Class of 2025 Artists.”

Capping off a monumental 2024, Gossett released his fan favorite single “Tree Birds” last fall. Amazon Music also tapped Dylan to contribute “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right (Amazon Music Original);” plus, he was featured on the GRAMMY-nominated Twisters: The Album Soundtrack with his original song “Stronger Than A Storm.” Not to mention, he delivered a showstopping rendition of “Coal” during ESPN’s College GameDay at his alma mater Texas A&M—watch a clip of his performance HERE.

ABOUT DYLAN GOSSETT:
Dylan Gossett is a 26-year-old singer-songwriter from Austin, Texas. Gossett began writing and recording music during his early teen years using Garage Band on his mother’s computer. Throughout high school, college at Texas A&M, and a job at Formula 1 Racing, music remained Gossett’s true passion. Inspired to finally release music by a new generation of singer-songwriters he saw emerging online, Dylan began posting videos of his songs in April 2023 — immediately, his music struck a chord with a global audience.

Gossett released his first single “To Be Free” (entirely self-written, recorded, produced, and mixed in his bedroom) in June 2023. Shortly thereafter, he teased a snippet of what would become his next song and breakout viral hit “Coal.” The video instantly took off, gaining over one million views within the first week. He quickly got back into his bedroom and created the song from scratch before releasing it in July 2023. Since its release, “Coal” has garnered over 428 million global streams, received Platinum Certifications in the U.S., Australia, Canada (2x) and Ireland (2x), debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. and the Official Singles Chart Top 100 in the U.K., reached the Top Five on the Country Radio Chart in Australia, and climbed the Spotify U.S. Top 200. The New York Times called “Coal” “one of the year’s best country songs,” and Billboard declared, “‘Coal’ and ‘To Be Free’ position Gossett as a formidable, heart-on-his-sleeve singer-songwriter with immense potential.”

In October 2023, Gossett released his highly anticipated debut EP No Better Time (also self-written, recorded, produced, and mixed in his bedroom) via Big Loud Texas / Mercury Records. The EP received a slew of critical acclaim from The New York Times, Billboard, Grammy.com, Atwood Magazine, MusicRow, Holler, Country Central, and more. He then followed it up with his widely praised 2024 EP, Songs In The Gravel, which he wrote and self-produced, while also teaming up with notable producers Eddie Spear and Ian Fitchuk on a few tracks. On the touring front, his first-ever headline (and international) tour in spring 2024, dubbed the “No Better Time Tour,” sold-out immediately upon on-sale. He returned to the road last fall with his critically acclaimed “The Back 40 Tour.” Gossett also supported Noah Kahan in arenas across Australia and Morgan Wallen at Houston’s Minute Maid Park. Not to mention, he made his festival debuts at Stagecoach Festival, SXSW, CMA Fest, Country 2 Country, Hangout Music Festival, Tortuga Music Festival, Two Step Inn Festival, and more. Now, Gossett kicks off what promises to be a massive year with the announcement of his highly anticipated debut album, Westward, out July 18th.
