Maddox Batson is a 16-year-old wrapping up a 44-date worldwide headline tour. The Nashville-based country artist has spent 2026 crossing North America and now takes his Live Worldwide Tour into Europe this month, his first-ever headline run across Ireland, the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden.
The tour arrives on the back of “If I See Her Again,” out now via Warner Records/Prosper Entertainment. Written with Grant Averill, Dave Cohen, and Jackson Foote, the track is an upbeat, groove-driven song about a missed connection and the moment you wish you’d said something. Batson puts it plainly: “You never get that time back. I think everyone can relate.”
The LA Times called him “a country Justin Bieber in the making.” He’s the youngest male to appear on Billboard’s 21 Under 21. Forbes, USA Today, American Songwriter, NBC Nightly News, and PEOPLE have all taken notice. A Grand Ole Opry debut and a Stagecoach festival appearance landed in 2025, alongside support dates on Lainey Wilson’s Whirlwind Tour.
2026 has been Batson’s most ambitious year by a wide margin. Beyond the tour, he secured the first-ever artist collaboration in Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey’s 150-year history, and won Good Good Golf’s Desert Open in Tempe, Arizona alongside Garrett Clark and Marissa Wenzler. More new music is also on the way.
“If I See Her Again” follows “Any Other Night,” a coming-of-age track combining smooth vocal flow, clean guitars, and a laid-back digital beat. Both singles point toward a young artist building a catalog with real range and consistent commercial instinct.
