WACO, Texas – Rising country music powerhouse Tucker Wetmore, whose hit songs “3,2,1” and “Wind Up Missin’ You” have topped radio airwaves, will headline his first arena show at the Paul and Alejandra Foster Pavilion, Waco’s new premier concert venue, at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 23.
Opening for Wetmore is emerging Tulsa, Oklahoma singer-songwriter Kaitlin Butts, who viral breakout song “You Ain’t Gotta Die (To Be Dead To Me)” from her latest album Roadrunner! is currently a fast riser on the Billboard Country Airplay chart. A member of the Opry Next Stage class of 2025, Butts opens Wetmore’s Foster Pavilion show after touring over the summer with Lainey Wilson, Sierra Ferrell, Flatland Cavalry and Wyatt Flores.
About Tucker Wetmore
Having notched back-to-back spots on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart with his RIAA PLATINUM-certified debut singles “Wine Into Whiskey” and “Wind Up Missin’ You” and surpassing over 855 million streams in a year, Washington-born singer-songwriter Tucker Wetmore is well on the way to becoming a certified breakout country star.
Wetmore signed a major-label record deal last summer, had two songs featured on the star-studded Twisters soundtrack (“Already Had It” and “Steal My Thunder” with Conner Smith), made his Grand Ole Opry debut and delivered his first EP, Waves on a Sunset. He brought his music directly to fans on tour with Kameron Marlowe and Luke Bryan before selling out his first-ever headlining tour WAVES ON A SUNSET TOUR 2024.
Now, in 2025, the skyrocketing talent will extend his headlining efforts with dates in the UK, U.S. and Europe before joining Thomas Rhett’s BETTER IN BOOTS TOUR 2025 as direct support. The newly minted ACM New Male Artist of the Year nominee will continue releasing new music, with songs that reflect his cross-genre musical upbringing, embracing all manners of country, reggae, rock and hip-hop, albeit anchored by classic country storytelling. He enters 2025 as one of the most buzzed-about new acts, recognized as an artist to watch by Billboard, MusicRow, VEVO, Spotify, the Grand Ole Opry and more.
His breakout hit “Wind Up Missin’ You” recently earned him his first No. 1 on the Mediabase Country Airplay chart, while his current single “3,2,1” continues its steady climb at Country radio. Wetmore’s highly anticipated debut album What Not To is out now.
