Emily Ann Roberts is hitting the road in spring 2027 for her first-ever headlining tour, dubbed The Thread Tour. On Tuesday (Oct. 20), the current CMA New Artist of the Year nominee sent fans into a frenzy, announcing her 23-city trek.

Following a milestone-filled year of opening for country music’s biggest names, earning ACM and CMA nominations, and selling out shows, Roberts is ready to take center stage on her own headlining tour in 2027.

“After having the incredible opportunity to open for my heroes in this industry, it’s finally time for me to step out on my own as the headliner,” shared Roberts. “2026 has been full of so many milestones for me. From my first ever sold-out shows, to being ACM and CMA nominated, my fans have made it clear they’re ready to see Emily Ann headline! We’re thrilled to bring my music to 23 cities in the spring of 2027.”

The tour includes major milestones, from her Ryman Auditorium headline debut and a hometown show at Knoxville’s Tennessee Theatre to stops at Billy Bob’s Texas, Charleston Music Hall, Boston’s Royale and venues nationwide.

The trek will feature support from special guests Colton Dawson, Mae Estes, Cole Goodwin and Kenny Whitmire on select dates.

Pre-sale tickets are available beginning Thursday, Oct. 22 with general on-sale beginning Friday, Oct. 23, both at 10:00 a.m. local time. VIP packages are available and include a meet-and-greet with Roberts, VIP tour gift, early VIP entry and merch access, and more.

The trek comes in support of Emily Ann Roberts’ latest EP, Thread, which arrived on October 16 via RECORDS Nashville/Sony Music Nashville. The EP features five songs, including “Thread,” “Lonely Boy,” “Garden Grow,” “When I Do” and “Laundry.” Thread showcases Emily Ann Roberts’ emotional depth and Appalachian roots, pairing heartfelt storytelling with bluegrass-inspired instrumentation.
