Kip Moore revealed his fall tour Monday and for the first time in nearly four years, Nashville is on his itinerary. Moore will launch his After the Sunburn Tour in Maryland in September and visit cities including Denver, New York City and Los Angeles before concluding at Music City’s War Memorial Auditorium on Nov. 17. “I’ve kind of purposely stayed away,” Moore said, explaining that he had actively avoided routing a tour through Nashville because he had played multiple large, free partial shows in the city in recent years.

Since then, the “More Girls Like You” singer said he and his team have elevated his live show to the next level. “I feel like the groundswell has even gotten way bigger over the last couple of years,” said Moore, who released this third album “Slowheart” in September. “It’s been pretty amazing going out and doing this tour around ‘Slowheart.’”

While Moore promised plenty of “Slowheart” songs on the After the Sunburn Tour, he said he’s also planning to reach back to his platinum-selling debut album “Up All Night.” Home to hit singles including “Somethin’ ‘Bout a Truck,” “Beer Money” and “Hey Pretty Girl,” the popular album also includes fan favorites “Drive Me Crazy” and “Reckless.” “I can only ever guarantee that you’re going to get my heart and my passion on stage,” Moore said. “Beyond that, the beauty in an actual live show is there’s a lot of (impulsive moments) stage. Every night our set list changes and we’re playing off what the crowd is doing, so you can expect a lot of unexpected things. It’s us always being authentic with ourselves. You’re getting

real human interaction. I think that by being vulnerable and authentic on stage, that keeps (fans) coming back.” Moore’s “Slowheart” is still new in music industry terms – not turning a year old until Sept. 8. But the singer said he’s already working on new songs and promised that fans will hear them soon. He said he’s not trying to create a new album to replace “Slowheart,” but intends for the new music to come out “in bits and pieces” to hold his “hungry fan base” over until the next album.

“I’ll never be settled,” Moore said. “I’ll always approach (my career) like it could evaporate at any moment so you have to continue to push yourself and stay on your game and not get complacent. It’s just making sure that you’re trying to be great for people. My feeling now is that I’m going to pour my heart out. I’m going to show you these songs, and (darn) it, you’re going to like it.” Moore's single "Last Shot" is currently on country radio. Support acts on Moore’s After the Sunburn Tour are Jordan Davis, Jillian Jacqueline, The Wild Feathers and Caroline Jones, depending on the show. Davis and Jacqueline will open for Moore at War Memorial Auditorium. Tickets for the tour will go on sale Friday at kipmoore.net.
