Oliver Anthony Music aka Chris Lunsford, has announced UK dates for September 2025 and it follows his sold-out debut run in 2024.

The tour includes performances at beloved venues across the country, with the artist set to take the stage at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town on 18th September. Tickets for the UK shows are on sale now. These dates were initially set to take place this month but were rescheduled due to unforeseen circumstances. Tickets for the original dates remain valid for the newly announced run.

Chris’s passionate voice, featuring a unique and emotional rasp shaped by his personal battles, captures the despair of those living without hope, especially those who live in small-town or rural America.

Oliver Anthony Music became the first artist in history to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard charts without previously having a song on the charts with his hit single ‘Rich Men North of Richmond’. A musical poet of the people, the track went viral due to its strong political undertones and Oliver Anthony Music became an overnight national sensation.

Dubbed the nation’s “blue-collar anthem”, the song has resonated powerfully with people from all around the world and has now been streamed more than 77 million times on YouTube and has tallied more than 250 million across all streaming platforms.

Continuously breaking records, Chris is the first living male songwriter to chart 13 songs simultaneously in Billboard’s Top 50 Digital Song Sales. Meanwhile, five of his other songs have made iTunes’ Top 10, including ‘Ain’t Got a Dollar’, which also claimed the No. 1 spot on Spotify’s Viral 50 list.

In April 2024, he released his first studio album, ‘Hymnal Of A Troubled Man’s Mind’.
