Cody performs many of the songs on the album live on tour. His Leather Tour continues into December and boasts 29 sold-out dates this year. Cody will headline Globe Life Field on November 9, home of the Texas Rangers, and is set to launch his Leather Deluxe Tour on January 17, 2025. GRAMMY-award winner Ashley McBryde, Drew Baldridge, Chayce Beckham, Randy Houser and Walker Montgomery join as special guests next year. Media has claimed Cody is ‘raucously entertaining’ with ‘the ability to connect with his fans through story-telling lyrics’ in concert. He will also bring that talent and enthusiasm to concerts in Australia and New Zealand next spring routing around headline performances at C2C Festival & CMC Rocks 2025. Special guests on the down under dates include Cole Swindell, Ashley Cooke and Wade Forster.

In a story out today written by Jessica Nicholson, Billboard claims Cody’s successful albums, singles and touring work together, “Along the way, pairing those releases and hits with steady-handed touring and his hard-charging, energetic stage show has aided in building Johnson’s reputation as one of the traditional country music’s tip-of-the-spear torchbearers.”

Johnson recently gave CMT an exclusive look behind the curtain on a show day, watch it below:

Twenty Flight Rockers Make A Triumphant Return To London After 39 Years At The 100 Club

It has been 39 years since Twenty Flight Rockers last played in London, but the wait is finally over. Persuaded that the time is right for a reunion, the band have returned for a short run of shows celebrating the release of Live ’85, the live album originally intended to be their debut release. For those of us who remember seeing them in their heyday, this is a chance to revisit a band whose rockabilly-fuelled energy has clearly lost none of its appeal. I can hardly believe it has been almost four decades since I last saw them perform.

Mutations Festival 2026 – Friday: From Harp Strings To Bedlam And Everything In Between

Ever since first attending Mutations in 2022, I have described it as a more manageable, densely packed version of The Great Escape. Since the festival condensed into two days, that description has become even more apt. Spanning multiple genres and a good selection of the city’s venues, it is a no-brainer for local live music fans looking to broaden their horizons and discover their next favourite band.
