Koe Wetzel has announced that he will embark on a 45-city headlining run this summer and fall.

The trek, named "The Night Champion World Tour," will see Wetzel perform shows across the U.S., Canada and Australia.

Shane Smith & The Saints, Ole 60, Wyatt Flores, Corey Kent, Wade Bowen, Bayker Blankenship, Kolby Cooper, and Logan Jahnke will support Wetzel on varying dates.

Wetzel, who is known to describe his shows fondly as "total chaos," played sold-out concerts in amphitheaters and arenas nationwide, drawing more than 250,000 fans on his 2024 "Damn Near Normal Tour" alone.

"It's kind of crazy that I'm not dead or in jail with everything that's gone on in my life," Wetzel reflects candidly. "Coming into 2026 and this tour, I feel like I'm the best version of myself I've ever been. I survived the night side of me. I'm coming out of it a champion."

During the upcoming tour, Wetzel is set to perform new tracks like "Surrounded" and "Time Goes On" plus 2025's most-played song at country radio, the triple platinum, five-week No. 1 hit "High Road," and fan favorites including "February 28, 2016."

Emerging country artist Belles continues the legacy of one of country music's most iconic songs with the release of "Son of Jolene," a special collaboration featuring music legend Dolly Parton, arriving on April 17.

The track will impact country radio on May 11, marking a pivotal milestone ahead of Belles' highly anticipated debut album, due in 2026. "Son of Jolene" is available to pre-save here.

Belles penned "Son of Jolene" as a clever, character-driven continuation of the classic story, imagining a chance encounter years later with Jolene's son. Blending vivid storytelling with a modern country edge, the song honors the spirit of the original track while introducing a fresh perspective.

"I grew up so inspired by Dolly and the worlds she created through her songs," shares Belles. "Having her lend her voice to this record is beyond anything I could have imagined. It feels like a full-circle moment and a true honor."

Belles is kicking off promotion for "Son of Jolene" at the Country Radio Seminar during March 18-20, hosting exclusive meet-and-greets alongside East Music Row Records for radio and industry executives at the Omni Hotel Nashville. She will also perform six acoustic sets across the three days and host a merchandise giveaway.

"Son of Jolene" is arriving on the heels of Belles' self-titled 6-track EP. Her breakout single, "Crazy As Me," sparked a massive surge in social engagement, driving a 400 percent increase in streams and reaching over 30 million views on social media, in excess of 2 million Spotify streams, and a No. 3 spot on the iTunes Country Chart.

Real American Beer has announced that multi-platinum country artist Brantley Gilbert has become an investor and equity partner of RAB and will launch Real American Beer ZERO, the company's first-non alcoholic beer.

Real American Beer has announced that multi-platinum country artist Brantley Gilbert has become an investor and equity partner of RAB and will launch Real American Beer ZERO, the company's first-non alcoholic beer.

The launch is anchored by a new national partnership with the United Service Organizations. Through the program, RAB will donate $1 per case sold of RAB ZERO to the USO and ongoing donations tied directly to sales, supporting active-duty service members and their families.

"This is for people who want to show up, be part of the moment, and enjoy the same experiences with friends and family while staying true to their lifestyle," said Gilbert. "Real American Beer ZERO allows everyone to be included, while keeping the taste and culture people love about beer."

Gilbert joins with hands-on involvement across the business. In the coming weeks, the partnership will roll out across retail, digital, and live environments, with in-store displays launching alongside social content, billboards, and other high-impact promotional efforts. Gilbert will also play a central creative and promotional role, integrating the brand across social platforms, tour moments, and fan-focused activations nationwide.

"Bringing Brantley into Real American Beer is a defining moment for our brand," said Terri Francis, CEO of Real American Beer. "He's not an endorser, he's been deeply involved in shaping Real American Beer ZERO from the ground up, and his perspective has helped guide how we think about culture, quality, and the positioning of ZERO. This launch represents a new chapter for Real American Beer as we expand our portfolio and bring more people into the moments that connect us."

RAB ZERO is 29 calories and 3.9g carbs non-alcoholic beer served in a 16oz can. Available in singles, 4pk or 6pk. It will be available nationwide including on tour with Brantley Gilbert, through direct-to-consumer channels such as TheRealAmerican.com and select retailer partners.
