Avery Anna is taking a song about unbreakable bonds and turning it into a full-blown career moment.
Fresh off being named ACM New Female Artist of the Year, the rising country powerhouse has officially made her country radio debut with the streaming sensation “Blood Runs Thicker.” The track emerged as the second most-added song of the week, while Avery earned the title of the most-added female artist overall.
And she is not stopping at radio.
This fall, Avery will bring the song, and the undeniable momentum surrounding it, directly to fans across the country on her newly announced Blood Runs Thicker Tour.
“Blood Runs Thicker” Breaks Through at Country Radio
“Blood Runs Thicker” has already found an enthusiastic audience through streaming, but its arrival at country radio marks a major new chapter for Avery Anna.
Built around Avery’s powerhouse vocals and emotionally charged delivery, the song has become a defining track for an artist who has never been afraid to dig into the complicated parts of love, loyalty and family.
Its radio launch follows Avery’s buzzworthy performance of “Blood Runs Thicker” at the 2026 Academy of Country Music Awards, where she showed viewers exactly why she is considered one of country music’s most exciting new voices.
She brings a lived-in honesty to every line, transforming deeply personal emotions into songs that feel ready to be screamed back by thousands of fans.
Now, country radio is catching up to what listeners already knew.
Avery Anna Announces the Blood Runs Thicker Tour
Fans will get the chance to experience that emotion live when Avery heads out on her Blood Runs Thicker Tour this fall.
The 10-date headlining run begins on October 16 at The Ritz in Raleigh, North Carolina, before making stops throughout the Midwest, South and East Coast.
The tour will visit fan-favorite venues including The Orange Peel in Asheville, Georgia Theatre in Athens, The Sylvee in Madison, The Fillmore Charlotte and House of Blues Orlando. The run will conclude on December 11 at The Fillmore Silver Spring in Maryland.
For fans who have followed Avery from her earliest releases to her ACM-winning breakthrough, the tour represents an opportunity to see a rising star step fully into the spotlight.
Avery’s live performances have become known for their mix of vocal firepower and emotional vulnerability. Whether she is delivering a soaring anthem or pulling the room into a more intimate moment, she performs like she means every word.
That combination should make the Blood Runs Thicker Tour much more than a victory lap. It could be the tour that establishes Avery as one of country music’s next must-see headliners.
Tickets go on sale to the public Friday, July 31, at 10 a.m. CT through Avery Anna’s official website.
Another ACM Stage Awaits
Before heading out on tour, Avery will return to the ACM spotlight as part of the performer lineup for the 19th ACM Honors.
Widely regarded as the “Country Music Industry’s favorite night,” the ceremony will bring together an all-star group of performers to celebrate this year’s Academy of Country Music honorees.
The 19th ACM Honors will take place on Wednesday, August 19, at The Pinnacle in Nashville.
Following an ACM New Female Artist of the Year victory, a major country radio debut and the announcement of her own headlining tour, Avery’s appearance at ACM Honors feels like another well-earned stop in a year defined by forward motion.
Avery Anna’s Breakout Year Keeps Getting Bigger
