Jake Worthington was built for the road, and the Intent To Tonk Tour proves it. The country singer-songwriter has launched his first headlining run in years, hitting markets across the U.S. through spring and into summer, spotlighting his critically acclaimed sophomore album ‘When I Write The Song.’
Worthington puts it simply: “I’m excited to announce that I’m going on a headlining tour for the first time in a very long time. The Intent To Tonk Tour is coming your way this spring.” The energy behind that statement is backed by a catalog that’s already making serious noise.
‘When I Write The Song’ is a record built for barrooms and honky tonks, featuring all-star collaborations with Miranda Lambert, Marty Stuart, and Mae Estes, produced by Joey Moi, Jon Randall, and Chuck Ainlay. The viral “It Ain’t The Whiskey” has cleared 40 million listens, and tracks like the Lambert collab “Hello Shitty Day,” “I’m The One” featuring Marty Stuart, and the sharp-witted “Two First Names” have carved out real cultural space.
The Intent To Tonk Tour runs alongside a loaded year that includes stadium dates with Luke Combs, a Stagecoach billing, and opening slots for Luke Bryan, Hardy, Parker McCollum, Riley Green, and Ian Munsick. Worthington is everywhere in 2026, and for good reason.
