Megan Moroney Headlines KFC Yum! Center

Megan Moroney brings THE CLOUD 9 TOUR to bourbon country when she headlines KFC Yum! Center on Friday, June 12, 2026. The 2024 CMA New Artist of the Year arrives in Louisville on her first arena headlining tour—delivering authentic country music to a Kentucky crowd that knows exactly what real country sounds like.

Friday Night in Bourbon Country

Louisville sits at the heart of American whiskey country, and Kentuckians take their traditions seriously—including country music. Friday nights here mean gathering with friends, raising a glass, and celebrating the sounds that define Southern culture. Megan Moroney's honest songwriting fits Louisville like a perfectly aged bourbon: smooth, genuine, and deeply satisfying.

The June 12th date falls early in THE CLOUD 9 TOUR, just two weeks after opening weekend. Louisville gets the fresh energy and excitement of a brand-new tour while the production is still finding its groove. Early-tour shows carry a special electricity—the thrill of launching something new, the energy of audiences experiencing the show before the rest of the country.

About Megan Moroney

Georgia native Megan Ann Moroney—the self-proclaimed "Emo Cowgirl"—has reshaped country music since her 2022 breakthrough. She writes or co-writes every song from personal experience: real heartbreaks, late-night mistakes, and hard-won wisdom. Her authentic storytelling resonates with Southern audiences who value substance over style.

Her viral hit "Tennessee Orange" earned double Platinum certification and reached #10 on Hot Country Songs—a song that cleverly references SEC rivalries Kentuckians understand well. Her debut album Lucky (2023), produced by Kristian Bush of Sugarland, earned Rolling Stone's Best Country Album designation. Her sophomore effort Am I Okay? (2024) debuted at #9 on the Billboard 200.

Her 2024 CMA New Artist of the Year win validated her rapid rise. Six 2025 CMA nominations (tied for most) and Variety's Storyteller of the Year honor confirmed her place among country's elite.

The Cloud 9 Album & Tour

THE CLOUD 9 TOUR supports Moroney's third album Cloud 9, releasing February 20, 2026. She's described it as her most confident work—songs written from artistic strength. Current singles "6 Months Later" and "Beautiful Things" preview an album that expands her sound while honoring country traditions.

The 43-date worldwide tour spans North America, Europe, and the UK through October 2026. Louisville falls among the tour's early dates, offering Kentucky fans fresh production and early-tour energy.

KFC Yum! Center: Louisville’s Riverfront Arena

KFC Yum! Center anchors Louisville's downtown riverfront, offering stunning Ohio River views and world-class concert experiences.
