Drake Milligan Releases New Album ‘Tumbleweed’ And Launches World Tour

Critically acclaimed Country artist, Drake Milligan, announces a brand-new album, Tumbleweed, set to release November 7, and drops a new song, “Old Flames, Old Whiskey,” out everywhere now – pre-add/pre-save/pre-order and listen HERE. Produced by Trent Willmon, Tumbleweed will include 14 tracks that perfectly combine traditional Texas country, Western swing, and modern Nashville stylings, while showcasing Milligan’s timeless musicality. The title track, which was released last month, hit #12 on the UK Country Radio Airplay chart in only its second week. Milligan will be celebrating today’s announcements on the Grand Ole Opry stage tonight at 7:00pm CT.

Written by Brett and Jim Beavers, “Old Flames, Old Whiskey” leans into Milligan’s smooth baritone as he weaves a tale of memory, regret, and the trouble that comes when heartbreak meets a bottle. The new song captures the spirit of country’s golden era while firmly establishing Milligan’s place as one of the genre’s most compelling new voices.

Having been on the road throughout 2025 opening for Lainey Wilson, Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan, Milligan will kick off “The Tumbleweed World Tour” at his headlining show at Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl on November 11, which will also serve as his official album release party. The tour will include all forthcoming shows including dates in Paris and Brussels in March 2026 and C2C Festival in Rotterdam, Berlin, London, Glasgow, and Belfast. Milligan is also announcing a pop-up performance at Ole Red in Orlando, FL on Saturday, November 8, a second show in the market as he’ll be onstage at the KIA Center opening for Lainey Wilson earlier that night. Attendees will get an intimate glimpse into his re-imagined show ahead of “The Tumbleweed World Tour.” For tickets and more information please visit drakemilligan.com.

 Footwear News (FN) today announced that Pharrell Williams and Adidas will receive the Shoe of the Year Award at the 2025 FN Achievement Awards (FNAAs), recognizing the Virginia Adistar Jellyfish by Pharrell Williams, a collaboration that unites innovative design, creativity, and cultural resonance.

I wanted it to feel fluid, futuristic, and free, not just another shoe but a living design. Seeing people connect with that spirit is the most rewarding part.”

“Pharrell’s partnership with Adidas continues to redefine what creative collaboration in footwear can look like, pushing boundaries in both design and storytelling,” said Michael Atmore, Chief Brand Officer of Fairchild Media Group and Editorial Director of Footwear News and Editor-in-Chief, WWD. “The Virginia Adistar Jellyfish reflects his singular ability to connect culture, community, and craft.”

The much-anticipated FNAAs, often known as the “Shoe Oscars,” willreturn on December 3, 2025, at an all-new venue, Cipriani 25 Broadway in New York City. The annual red carpet and awards ceremony celebrate footwear’s influential style stars, standout collaborations, emerging talents and industry leaders.
