Marking a new peak in her unstoppable rise, Country hitmaker Ashley Cooke will embark on a global headline run this September with the baby blues world tour — a 28-date outing including stops in major cities throughout the US and UK. All tickets for the baby blues world tour are officially on sale today (5/15) at 10 a.m. local time, with $1 of every ticket sold going toward the Ashley Cooke Fund to benefit The Onsite Foundation’s Creatives Support Network (a program providing free mental-health support, education, and resources specifically designed for members of the songwriting community). Go here to purchase tickets now.

Also today, Cooke is sharing a hilariously fun video inspired by the iconic four-way call scene from Mean Girls and featuring all five of her support acts for the baby blues world tour: Big Loud labelmate Timmy McKeever, Florida-bred singer/songwriter McCoy Moore, all-female trio Just Jayne, Country up-and-comer Aniston Pate, and Alabama-born rising star Hannah McFarland. Framed around a chain of increasingly chaotic phone calls, the clip closes out with another reference to the teen-movie classic (“On show days, we wear baby blue”) — a cheeky nod to the signature color for Cooke’s upcoming self-titled album.

Launching on September 17 at Globe Iron in Cleveland, the baby blues world tour will bring Cooke’s crowd-commanding live show to iconic venues like 9:30 Club in Washington, DC (September 18), Irving Plaza in New York City (September 24), El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles (October 8), and Koko in London (January 29). With dates currently scheduled through February 25 at the legendary Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Cooke will be joined by a stacked roster of up-and-coming artists. See below for full tour itinerary and further info on support acts.

Named after “baby blues” (a longtime fan favorite and recent No. 1 hit on SiriusXM The Highway’s Hot 30 Countdown), the baby blues world tour will kick off a month after Cooke releases her highly anticipated self-titled sophomore album. With its coastal Country sound and breezy denim aesthetic, ashley cooke introduces a bold new evolution of her songwriting, offering up what Cooke refers to as a “coming-of-age record disguised as a relationship album.” Due out via Big Loud Records/Back Blocks Music on August 14, the 15-song LP features “baby blues” alongside previously released tracks like  “the hell you are” (currently climbing the Country radio charts), “xs” (a March release that inspired Country Swag to hail Cooke as “one of the most exciting rising artists in the genre today”), and “high school sweetheart” (a triumphant takedown of someone stuck in teenage gossip mode). Go here to pre-order/pre-save ashley cooke now.

With her live experience including touring with superstars like Luke Bryan and Kane Brown, headlining the your place tour (a 2024/2025 trek named for her GOLD-certified Country Radio No. 1 hit), and supporting Jon Pardi’s HONKYTONK HOLLYWOOD TOUR earlier this year, Cooke is now gearing up to take the stage at must-see summer festivals like Hoofbeat (June 27 in Cadott, WI). This weekend, she’ll co-host and perform at “ACM Next Wave: Country’s Beach Bash” — an Academy of Country Music Awards Week event taking place tomorrow (5/16) at Mandalay Bay Beach in Las Vegas, also featuring Flatland Cavalry, Tucker Wetmore, Braxton Keith, and more.

ABOUT ASHLEY COOKE
One of Country’s most magnetic young storytellers, Ashley Cooke made her unforgettable debut with 2023’s shot in the dark and soon scored her first Country radio No. 1 with “your place” — a GOLD-certified, Billboard Hot 100-charting hit that later won a 2024 CMT Music Award for Breakthrough Female Video of the Year. With a voice that carries both tenderness and quiet confidence, she’s since garnered nominations for New Female Artist of the Year at the ACM Awards and Best New Country Artist at the iHeartRadio Music Awards. While building up an acclaimed body of work including 2025’s ace — a nine-song project featuring her Country radio smash “the hell you are” and longtime fan favorite “baby blues” (a No. 1 hit on SiriusXM The Highway’s Hot 30 Countdown) — Cooke has collaborated with major artists ranging from Pop superstar Joe Jonas (“All I Forgot”) to Country hitmaker Brantley Gilbert (“Over When We’re Sober”). Known for her emotionally charged and high-energy live show, she’s also toured with heavy-hitters like Luke Bryan, Parker McCollum, Kane Brown, and recently hit the road as support for Jon Pardi’s HONKYTONK HOLLYWOOD TOUR. As her profile continues to rise, Cooke made a cameo appearance in March on CBS’ Marshals (the newly launched spinoff of the blockbuster Western saga Yellowstone), just before heading overseas for C2C: Country to Country 2026 (including a performance at the iconic O2 Arena in London). With her self-titled sophomore album due out August 14, she’s now gearing up to take the stage at leading festivals like Hoofbeat (6/27 in Cadott, WI). Later this year, Cooke will embark on the baby blues world tour — a 28-date global headline run launching on September 17 and continuing through February 25 at the legendary Ryman Auditorium.
