Kip Moore Joins Forces with Virgin Music Group
Multi-platinum country singer and songwriter Kip Moore has officially entered a new phase of his career by partnering with Virgin Music Group. This exciting collaboration marks a significant step for Moore, who is well known for his independent spirit and dedication to his craft. Alongside the announcement, Moore also teased his first new music release in nearly two years—his upcoming single, “Live Here to Work.” The song, which reunites Moore with co-producer Jaren Johnston (known for his work with Keith Urban, Chris Shiflett, and Darius Rucker), will be available on September 20, 2024, and is currently available for pre-save. Fans can also catch an early listen on TikTok.
New Music and a New Chapter
Kip Moore views his partnership with Virgin Music Group as a fresh opportunity to continue building his career on his own terms. Reflecting on this new chapter, Moore shared, “I’m a firm believer that this life is what you make it and is enhanced by the people you surround yourself with. There is a trust and a freedom in what I do, and I can feel that from this team.” Moore promises fans more music than ever before, starting with “Live Here to Work,” a track that he describes as pushing the envelope and setting the tone for what’s to come.
Nomad World Tour Continues
Currently in the midst of his extensive Nomad World Tour, Moore will be resuming performances in arenas and stadiums later this month. The tour includes a 14-show run in Australia, a return to South Africa—where Moore played to crowds of over 40,000 fans last year—and a series of dates across the U.S. this fall. Tickets and VIP packages for the tour are on sale now.
