The Marcus King Band Extends The Darling Blue Tour To 39 Cities Across North America This Summer Including The Fox Theatre June 23

(DETROIT – March 9, 2026) – GRAMMY-nominated country-americana star Marcus King will hit the road this summer with his powerhouse band for the Darling Blue Pt. 2 Tour, a 39-city run across the U.S. and Canada. Joined by special guest Penelope Road, the tour will make a stop at the Fox Theatre on Tuesday, June 23 at 8 p.m. Comerica Bank is the exclusive presenting partner of the Fox Theatre.

Tickets go on sale Friday, March 13 at 10 a.m. at 313Presents.com, LiveNation.com and Ticketmaster.com. Presale begins Wednesday, March 11 at 10 a.m. local time. Tickets will also be available at MarcusKingOfficial.com.

Ahead of the tour, King will headline a one-week residency at the renowned Blue Note Jazz Club in New York City from March 13 – 19. The Marcus King Band will then head down under for an Australian headline run in April before coveted festival performances at Stagecoach Music Festival, Bourbon & Beyond, Gulf Coast Jam and more.

The band also recently announced the Waltz Across Texas Tour, visiting seven cities across the Lone Star State this May. The Darling Blue Pt. 2 Tour follows the Darling Blue Pt. 1 headline run last fall. In addition, King supported Eric Church, Cody Johnson, Chris Stapleton and Dwight Yoakam on the road last year.

King closed out 2025 with the release of his highly anticipated new album Darling Blue, deemed one of “Nashville’s Best Albums of 2025” by The Tennessean. The record explores the peaks and valleys of King’s life, reflecting his love for the Blue Ridge Mountains as well as his state of mind before and after meeting his wife, Briley.

Forbes praised the album as “a collection of standout tunes that straddle the line between old-school rock rowdiness and time-tested country twang,” while Country Central highlighted its “signature, undefined flair of Southern steadiness that King uses to flit between the blues, soul and down the middle cowboy crooners, all with the flick of a guitar pick.”
