Aaron Watson Shares 2017 Tour Plans

Aaron Watson will release his 11th studio album on Feb. 24, but he's already bringing the music of Vaquero to audiences across the U.S. and U.K.

Watson's 2017 tour kicked off on Jan. 20, in the singer's native Texas, and will head to the U.K. and Ireland through the rest of January before returning to the States. The ambitious string of tour dates is scheduled to run through August and includes festival dates such as Arizona's Country Thunder on April 7 and Country Stampede in Kansas on June 25; additionally, Watson is set to perform at the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo and will also headline opening night of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo on March 7.

Vaquero features the single "Outta Style," which has steadily climbed the country charts since its premiere in November. Watson's previous record, 2015's The Underdog, made history when it debuted at the top of the country charts following its release; it made Watson the first solo male artist to debut at No. 1 with a self-released independent album. Vaquero is being released under the same label, Watson's own BIG Label.

Readers can check out a list of Watson's 2017 tour dates below and visit the singer's official website for more details and to purchase tickets. Fans can also pre-order Vaquero on iTunes now and get two songs immediately when they do.
