This fall, acclaimed Ohio alternative singer, songwriter, and phenomenon Knox will embark on his most extensive global headline run yet, Knox’s Midwest Best Live On Tour. He just unveiled three international legs for this jaunt.
The North American segment kicks off on October 9 at Paradise Rock Club in Boston, MA, rolls through major cities coast to coast, and concludes on November 7 at Marathon Music Works in Nashville, TN. A special Knox fan presale launches on Tuesday July 14 at 10am CST. Local presales follow on Wednesday July 15 at 10am local time. All presales conclude on Wednesday July 15 at 11:59pm. General on-sale goes live Thursday July 16 at 10am local time.

Just last week, he kickstarted this era with the new single and music video “After The After Party” out now. Listen/watch here.
For My Midwest Best, he mined some of his earliest influences, rediscovering classic pop-punk and emo such as Fall Out Boy, Hawthorne Heights, The All-American Rejects, and more. At the same time, he filtered this inspiration through his own individual lens, striking up a sound that’s undeniably Knox.
Regarding the album, he elaborated, “My Midwest Best is my proudest work to date. It’s the culmination of all the music I grew up listening to and all the music I learned how to make along the way. A representation of where I’m from and what it sounded like growing up in the middle of nowhere, Ohio."

About
Knox revamps, revitalizes, and re-energizes emo and pop-punk with a fresh punch. Growing up in New Carlisle, OH, he fell in love with music as a kid, obsessing over Fall Out Boy, The All-American Rejects, Boys Like Girls, Panic! At The Disco, Hawthorne Heights, and more. In 2019, he relocated to Nashville and launched a career behind-the-scenes as a songwriter. 2022 saw him embrace the spotlight as a solo artist with the viral breakthrough “Sneakers”— which surpassed 49 million Spotify streams. Everything kicked into high gear with the arrival of “Not The 1975” though. It peaked in the Top 15 of the Adult Pop Airplay Chart, gathered 63 million-plus streams, and bulldozed the way for his 2025 debut LP, Going, Going, Gone. Of the latter, Melodic Magazine raved, “The debut is impressive in length and lyrical volume,” and GRAMMY.com promised, “Knox’s debut album, Going, Going, Gone, perfectly captures the essence of his artistry.” Marveling at his sold-out Webster Hall show, tmrw recalled, “the crowd down on the floor generated the kind of palpable electricity reserved for artists on the cusp of the proverbial rocket ship.” He also graced the bills of festivals such as Lollapalooza and Hangout Fest, appeared on tracks with Bilmuri and HARDY, and earned co-signs from Ed Sheeran and Matt Healy. After piling up hundreds of millions of streams, selling out shows, and earning critical acclaim, he returns home sonically and emotionally on his second full-length album, My Midwest Best [Atlantic Records]. These 12 tracks uncork a burst of Warped Tour-appropriate energy tailormade for soundtracking a montage from your favorite teen comedy, the best date you’ve ever been on, or a festival set at sundown.
