Emily Ann Roberts Is Finally Headlining Her Own Tour, and She’s Taking It to the Ryman
The CMA New Artist of the Year nominee’s first headline run spans 23 dates, from Knoxville’s Tennessee Theatre to New York’s Irving Plaza and Billy Bob’s Texas.
After opening for some of country music’s biggest stars, Emily Ann Roberts is stepping into the spotlight as a headliner. The rising country favorite has announced THE THREAD TOUR, a 23-date spring 2027 run named after her newly released EP.
The tour begins February 4 in Chattanooga and includes a major milestone: Roberts’ headline debut at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on February 13. She’ll also return to her home state for a Knoxville show at the Tennessee Theatre, with stops at Irving Plaza in New York, Billy Bob’s Texas in Fort Worth, House of Blues Chicago, and more.
“I’ve had the incredible opportunity to open for my heroes in this industry, and now it’s finally time for me to step out on my own as the headliner,” Roberts said. After a year of sold-out shows and award nominations, she added, fans have made it clear they’re ready to see her headline.
A Breakout Year Gets Even Bigger
Roberts’ first headlining tour arrives during a milestone year. She recently earned her first CMA Awards nomination, landing in the New Artist of the Year category at the 60th annual ceremony. She’s also an ACM New Female Artist of the Year nominee and has been named to the 2026 Opry NextStage and MusicRow Next Big Thing classes.
Along the way, Roberts has been splitting time between sold-out headline shows, major festivals, and opening dates for Cody Johnson and Thomas Rhett. She’ll join Johnson for a European run later this month, then return to C2C Festival in 2027 after a standout appearance earlier this year.
Who’s Joining Her on the Road?
Special guests will include Kenny Whitmire, Cole Goodwin, Colton Dawson, and Mae Estes on select dates. VIP packages will also be available, with options including a meet-and-greet, tour gift, early entry, and early merchandise access.
