Marcus King Band - Darling Blue Tour Pt. 2

Following a successful run of critically acclaimed albums with the Marcus King Band, Greenville, South Carolina native Marcus King made his solo debut with the GRAMMY®-nominated El Dorado in 2020, followed by Young Blood (2022) and Mood Swings (2024). King is now reuniting with his longtime live band for the first time since 2018's Carolina Confessions on the forthcoming Darling Blue, recorded at the iconic Capricorn Studios alongside GRAMMY®-winning producer and engineer Eddie Spear. The album features Noah Cyrus, Billy Strings, Kaitlin Butts, and more, with co-writes from Midland and Lainey Wilson among other notable names. Many of the songs across the album pay homage to King's South Carolina roots and deep appreciation for his home state. Darling Blue, released on September 26 via American Records/Republic Records, marks a full-circle moment in King's career. He'll be touring internationally throughout the year, hitting the road with Chris Stapleton, Cody Johnson, and Eric Church.
