Oliver Anthony announced his tour for 2024 (Out of the Woods Tour). The musician Christopher Anthony Lunsford, known as Oliver Anthony, a viral sensation, has unveiled plans for his inaugural world tour. This marks the artist’s first global tour, for which he recently applied for his initial passport. While most concerts are scheduled in the USA, some shows are also planned in Sweden, Norway, and the United Kingdom.
Oliver Anthony rose to fame with his song “Rich Men North of Richmond, which will surely leave a significant musical impact in 2023. The red-bearded singer has earned nominations for two awards—Top Selling Artist and Top Selling Song—at the Billboard Music Awards. Notably, he has achieved a milestone by becoming the first male artist with 13 songs concurrently in the Top 50 by digital sales. This impressive success is setting the stage for a promising and successful tour for Oliver Anthony.
“It’s been challenging understanding what my purpose is and what I’m supposed to do with the opportunity I’ve been given. I don’t deserve one bit of any of this…
said Christopher
In 2024, I feel compelled to connect with other lost souls like me. The people battling sobriety, depression, debt, divorce. The ones being taxed to death but ignored. The blue-collar and middle-class families who can’t get ahead because the system in place is getting ahead instead, at their expense”.
“Rich Men North of Richmond” has accumulated over 200 million streams across various streaming platforms, including YouTube. When considering the collective responses and reactions to the song, the overall numbers could potentially be even higher. Notably, up to five of Anthony’s songs have secured spots on the iTunes top 10 list.
