Cameron Whitcomb doesn’t stop. The 22-year-old Nanaimo, BC singer-songwriter has announced The Kingdom of Fear Tour, his largest US headline run to date, kicking off September 24 at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium and closing October 31 at Houston’s House of Blues. Presales begin May 12, with general on-sale starting May 15 at 10am local time. A dollar from every ticket sold goes to Project Healthy Minds, supporting access to mental health services across America.
The tour takes its name from Whitcomb’s explosive new single “Kingdom of Fear,” the highest-charting song of his career to date in the US, Australia, the UK, and Canada, and his second consecutive instant debut on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100. Billboard called it “an emotionally charged folk-rock song fronted by Whitcomb’s raw, gritty vocals and a fervent guitar.” Next week, he performs the track live on the Season 24 Finale of American Idol alongside finalist Brooks Rosser, airing Monday, May 11 at 8pm ET on ABC and Disney+.
“Kingdom of Fear” headlines his new EP ‘Deep Water,’ out now via Atlantic Outpost. The 5-song project also includes the dynamic title track, captured in a live performance video filmed at his sold-out Citizens House of Blues Boston show in front of 2,700 fans, his biggest solo headline show to date. “You and Me,” the tender third track, debuted immediately on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 upon its March arrival. Billboard praised it as “an emotional, heartfelt folk-rock song characterized by his soft, weathered vocals and a stomp-clap rhythm.”
The Kingdom of Fear Tour runs through venues including Atlanta’s Tabernacle, Tulsa’s Cain’s Ballroom, Seattle’s Paramount Theatre, Los Angeles’s The Wiltern, and Austin’s Stubb’s Waller Creek Amphitheater. Support across various dates comes from Noah Rinker, NEP, and Liam St. John.
All of this follows a landmark 2025 and an already packed 2026. Whitcomb is currently on a fully sold-out Australia and New Zealand headline tour, with additional shows added in some markets due to demand. His Fragile Egos Tour resumes June 2 in Detroit, continuing through sold-out stops across North America. He’s also supporting HARDY on THE COUNTRY! COUNTRY! TOUR! through the summer, with festival appearances at Lollapalooza, Dauphin’s Countryfest, Country Thunder Saskatchewan, Big Valley Jamboree, and more.
Earlier this year, Whitcomb took home 2 JUNO Awards, “Breakthrough Artist or Group of the Year” and “Country Album of the Year” for his debut album ‘The Hard Way,’ which debuted at number 1 on Canada’s Country Albums chart, earned Gold certification, and surpassed 500 million streams nationally. His JUNO performance of “Options” went viral after he capped it with a backflip on the catwalk. He also holds the 2025 CMA Jeff Walker Global Country Artist Award and back-to-back CCMA wins for Breakthrough Artist of the Year and Fans’ Choice. With over 7.5 million monthly Spotify listeners and 835 million global streams, the trajectory is unmistakable.
