Tucker Wetmore will make his headlining debut at Nashville’s legendary Ryman Auditorium on May 21, 2025, with special guest and close friend Jacob Hackworth joining the stage. Presale tickets will become available this Wednesday, February 19, at 10 a.m. CT, with general sales starting Friday, February 21, at 10 a.m. CT.
Wetmore couldn’t contain his excitement about this milestone, sharing in a statement, “It’s an absolute dream come true to headline the Mother Church of Country Music for the first time, and it means even more to share it with one of my best friends, Jacob Hackworth. Can’t wait to see y’all on May 21. Feeling beyond blessed.”
This announcement follows Wetmore’s buzzworthy national television debut on NBC’s TODAY with Jenna & Friends, where he delivered a captivating performance of his RIAA Platinum-certified No.1 hit single, “Wind Up Missin’ You.” The morning became even more special when hosts Jenna Bush Hager and Ana Gasteyer surprised Wetmore with a Platinum/No.1 plaque, commemorating the song that propelled him into the limelight nearly a year ago.
For those who missed it, “Wind Up Missin’ You” is a heartfelt track that showcases Wetmore’s knack for storytelling and emotional depth. The song narrates the tale of a man reflecting on a lost love, capturing the universal feeling of longing and regret. It’s no wonder this track resonated with so many, earning its place at the top of the charts.
But that’s not all—Wetmore is keeping the momentum going with the upcoming release of his new single, “3,2,1,” set to drop on February 21. This marks his first release since his critically acclaimed EP, “Waves on a Sunset,” which features fan favorites like “Wine into Whiskey.” “Wine into Whiskey” became Wetmore’s first song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 68, and solidified his place in the country music scene.
In just the first two months of 2025, Wetmore has already made significant strides, securing the first No.1 of the year on the Country radio charts with “Wind Up Missin’ You” and earning an iHeartRadio Music Awards nomination for Best New Country Artist. He recently joined Luke Bryan’s CRASH MY PLAYA event in Riviera Cancun, Mexico, and is slated to perform at Country 2 Country (C2C) in March, including a sold-out show at London’s Electric Ballroom. Additionally, Wetmore will join Thomas Rhett’s BETTER IN BOOTS TOUR 2025 as direct support across 33 dates this summer.
Reflecting on his whirlwind year, Wetmore’s journey from a small-town musician to a country sensation is nothing short of inspiring. Growing up in Kalama, Washington, he taught himself piano at the age of 11, inspired by legends like Jerry Lee Lewis. After a football injury in college, Wetmore turned to music, moving to Nashville in 2020. His dedication and passion have clearly paid off, with his catalog amassing over 765 million total global streams to date.
For fans eager to catch Wetmore live at the Ryman Auditorium, be sure to set your alarms for the presale on February 19 and the general sale on February 21. With new music, major festival appearances, and an extensive touring schedule ahead, Tucker Wetmore is undoubtedly cementing his spot as one of country music’s most exciting new talents.
