Koe Wetzel: The Road to Hell Paso
Sep 21 @ 7:30 pm

KOE WETZEL ANNOUNCES THE FALL LEG OF HIS ‘ROAD TO HELL PASO’ NORTH AMERICAN HEADLINE TOUR PRESENTED BY MONSTER ENERGY

Genre-bending artist Koe Wetzel has added fall dates to his ‘Road to Hell Paso’
North American headline tour. Presented by Monster Energy, the newly announced 22-date run kicks off July 28 in Idaho Falls, ID with stops in Baton Rouge, Indianapolis, San Antonio, and more. The tour will conclude with shows in Lubbock and El Paso, TX, both of which have inspired a couple of Koe’s song and album titles. Additionally, Koe has added a performance in Sioux Falls, SD on June 29. See full routing below.

Koe has been on the road playing sold out shows across the country in support of his latest album Hell Paso, which debuted at #12 on the Billboard 200 upon release in September. Recorded at the iconic Sonic Ranch Studio outside of El Paso, TX, the 13-track LP perfectly blends Koe’s musical influences and carves a unique lane for himself. In speaking about the album, Koe says: “We pulled in every genre
we were feeling at the time. We spent the last ten years trying to make this sound, Hell Paso has it.”

With over 100,000 tickets sold thus far this year, the Texas-born singer, songwriter, guitarist, and producer continues to dominate the touring world. In addition to his ‘Road to Hell Paso’ dates, Koe will support Eric Church this July. He will also perform at various festivals including a headline slot at the inaugural Georgia Country Music Fest this Labor Day Weekend in Marietta, GA.
