General tickets on sale Friday 18 September

Oregon-born artist Max McNown’s rise has been meteoric, going from teaching himself guitar in

just a few months to busking across Southern California to auditioning for, and ultimately turning

down, a major TV talent show, all while building a massive following on TikTok, where he now

has 2.6 million followers. Since blazing his own path as a singer-songwriter, the Nashville-based

artist’s breakout hit “A Lot More Free” has gone RIAA Certified Platinum in the U.S., amassed

over 400M worldwide streams to date, and made its Billboard Hot 100 debut, which launched him

to the top of Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart. Featured on his 2023 debut EP and his 2024 full-

length Wandering album, it also peaked in the Top 10 at Hot AC Radio, Top 20 at Pop, and Top

30 at Triple A, plus landed at #1 on TikTok’s Breakthrough USA chart, #2 on iTunes Country

chart, hit the Spotify Viral 50 Global Playlist, and even got a nod from Kelly Clarkson when she

performed the song on her Kellyoke series on The Kelly Clarkson Show.

The rising star’s follow-up track, “Better Me For You (Brown Eyes),” which is the lead single

from his 2025 sophomore album Night Diving (The Cost of Growing Up), also went Double

Platinum in the U.S, and landed McNown his highest charting position on the Billboard Hot 100

(at #26). The song, which amassed 500M worldwide streams to date, spent 36 weeks on the Hot

100 chart. It also landed him his first entry onto the Spotify US Top 200 Chart (#120 peak), #6 at

Country Radio, Top 30 at Pop, #8 at Hot AC, Top 20 AC, plus #1 on iTunes Country Songs Chart,

and Top 5 on iTunes All Genres Chart. A consistent chart-climber across genres, McNown proves

to be a true, multi-format artist.
