Leon Bridges Plots A Run Of Intimate Theater Shows For 2024 With ‘The Leon Tour’

Leon Bridges 2024
Jack Bool

This time last week, Leon Bridges announced a new album, titled simply Leon. Now, he’s got more news: He’s going on The Leon Tour later this year.

The run kicks off in October and hits a number of North American theaters between then and mid-November. The tour wraps up with a hometown show in Fort Worth, Texas. Hermanos Gutiérrez joins Bridges on the road, while Charley Crockett will also be there for the Forth Worth concert.

Ticket pre-sales start on August 20 and tickets go on sale on August 23 at 10 a.m. local time. More information is available on the tour website.

Bridges says of the tour in a statement:

“I wanted to bring the magic and connection that made this record to this tour, so I felt it was important to pick the right rooms to play. I’ll be performing at intimate theaters this run with my incredible band. These are listening rooms — beautiful stages that truly showcase the music and allow me to get back to analog instrumentation. Plus, I’ve really missed playing guitar. I’ve got my brothers, Hermanos Gutiérrez, supporting me on tour as well. The tour starts in Austin and ends with a truly epic night in Fort Worth — aka Panther City — joined by my friend and Texas legend, Charley Crockett. Can’t wait to play this record for y’all live! Hope to see you out there.”

Leon Bridges Enjoys A ‘Peaceful Place’ On A Fresh Single To Announce His New Album, ‘Leon’

Leon Bridges has kept busy over the past few years. He dropped his latest album, Gold-Diggers Sound, in 2021, and that was sandwich between two collaborative EPs with Khruangbin: Texas Sun in 2020 and Texas Moon in 2022. Now, he’s back to doing his own thing: Today (August 8), Bridges announced a new album, Leon.

He also shared a groovy new song called “Peaceful Place.” The song’s video offers a behind-the-scenes look at recording the album near Mexico City.

Bridges says of the album in a statement:

Leon has been a long-time coming. I started writing pieces of it as far back as Gold-Diggers Sound. They didn’t fit what I was trying to do with that album and I tried moving on. But I couldn’t shake them because they’re part of me. And, if I’m honest, also because I think this is some of my most excellent work yet.

In many ways, Leon has been in the works since my childhood. This record is about simpler days. It’s about time spent in my beloved Fort Worth and the experiences that made me the man I am today. It’s soulful music in the truest sense — it’s imbued with my soul.

I’m excited to share these stories about my home, about nostalgia, about my upbringing, about where I’m from, with all of you. I hope this music brings you back to your roots and your journey.”
