Event Details

Chase & Status have announced a headline show at The O2 on Saturday 3 May 2025.

As one of the most successful British bands of the last decade Chase & Status have achieved widespread notoriety and universal respect for their achievements. Consummate professionals at every level, Will Kennard and Saul Milton, are contemporary vanguards of UK electronic music.

Hot off the back of a viral Boiler Room performance in 2023, the duo released their 10-track LP “2 Ruff Vol 1”. The project flew out the gates with the hit single, “Baddadan” which has spent over 15 weeks and counting in the Top 10 of the UK charts and has already been certified gold. Following on from this, they went on to release “Liquor & Cigarettes”, “Say The Word” and “Selecta”. Some of the features include the likes of Stefflon Don, Arrdee and grammy-nominated vocalist Flowdan. IRAH and Takura also make a return on a number of tracks on the mixtape. The duo have also partnered with gen D&B producers Bou, Mozey and Hedex, what started as a passion project for the duo, has ended up dominating the UK Charts. Continuing this success Chase & Status have recently just achieved their first ever UK Number One with their highly anticipated Stormzy collaboration ‘Backbone’.

This incredible new music lands in the wake of ‘What Came Before’. Chase & Status’s sixth studio album which charted #4 in the official UK album chart. Consisting of 13 tracks, ‘What Came Before’ distilled 15 years of unparalleled experiences into a bold, invigorating album; informed by global tours, sold out headline shows, five albums, multiple awards including their recent 2024 Brit Award win for Producer Of The Year, chart success, underground kudos, top tier collaborations and remixes, and, above all else, that unwavering dance floor energy that remains as tangible and transformative now as it has since the very beginning.

For these trailblazers making music is a constant process of regeneration and refinement that comes full circle, and their new music further highlights their inimitable presence in the UK electronic music scene. With an awe-inspiring 2 billion streams, Chase & Status show no signs of slowing down.

Recent tour reviews

I never heard of Chase Rice and his music, and I never like country music at all.but my nephew introduced me to Morgan Wallen music and Chase Rice. Chase got on his way. Since June 2023 I started listening to Chase and Morgan am I really like both of them. I like chase music his voice is incredible. Today is Oct.1, 2023.

If he see this message I want to ask him if he wants to come to MetLife, my family clients can bring him with another artist. Just go to my Instagram. I only want to asking that question, than my family clients will work with chase team directly. Hope he gets to see this message because we need to start working. I don’t know how to get in touch with him, so many imposter…if any anyone knows chase please pass the message to him. Thank you!

Well, I 1st heard about Chase on the Bachelor. The song he played, “Lonely If You Are” drew my attention to him. Then, I told a male friend of mine & he recommended one of his older albums, Ignite. Ever since then, I’ve been a huge fan of his music. I listen to him all day at work. When I found out he was coming to Floores in Helotes, TX, with Jon Pardi & others, I new I had to purchase tickets. Needless to say, I was not disappointed. However, I’d like to see him perform with just him by himself. Hopefully, he’ll come

back to San Antonio real soon. Chase, come back, I’m lonely. Laugh. I really enjoyed the concert.

Chase Rice was amazing! The show was so full of energy and lots of laughs. The best part is that Chase took time to sign autographs and take pictures. I appreciate how much he loves his fans. Can't wait to see him again in April with Brantley Gilbert!!!

Chase Rice Heads ‘Way Down Yonder’ for 2023 Tour

• by Mark Horan Publisher/Photographer

CHASE RICE HEADS  WAY DOWN YONDER  FOR 2023 TOUR

Avery Anna, Tyler Braden, Ashland Craft, Dalton Dover, Kameron Marlowe, Read Southall Band and Conner Smith Join as Special Guests Across 23 Dates

Tickets On Sale This Thursday, Dec. 15 at 10 a.m. Local Time via  ChaseRice.com

New Album  I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell  Set for Release February 10

With his just-announced album  I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell  set to showcase the results of a year off the road spent reconnecting with his passions both musically and personally, multi-Platinum singer/songwriter  Chase Rice  is ready to bring that sonic return to his roots to fans across the country this spring on the  Way Down Yonder Tour .

“I focused on ‘What can I put out that makes me come to life?’,” Rice  shared recently with  PopCulture of the new music he will debut on this tour. “Because if I come to life when I’m on the stage and up there singing songs that I’m passionate about and love, man, people are gonna love them that much more… I’m at the place in my life now where I just want people to know who I really am as opposed to who they think I am. I think this record’s a good start.”

Chase Rice’s  I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell  

album art features a vintage photo of his late father, Dan Rice.

Kicking off March 3 in Laughlin, Nev., the headlining run presented by Coors Banquet spans 23 dates across the U.S. including iconic theaters such as Nashville Ryman Auditorium, Boston’s House of Blues and Athens’ Georgia Theatre, concluding April 29 in Rice’s birthplace of Daytona, Fla. Joining as special guests across varying dates are  Avery Anna ,  Tyler Braden , Ashland Craft ,  Dalton Dover ,  Kameron Marlowe ,  Read Southall Band  and  Conner Smith .

Tickets to all dates go on sale this Thursday, Dec. 15 at 10 a.m. local time via  ChaseRice.com , with pre-sales beginning Tuesday, Dec. 13 at 10 a.m. local time.

The tour earns its name from Rice’s latest release off the forthcoming album, outlaw anthem “ Way Down Yonder , ” available everywhere now along with  an accompanying Wild West-style music video . Written by Rice together with Hunter Phelps, John Byron, Blake Pendergrass and Corey Crowder during a writing retreat in Florida that also produced recent release “ Key West & Colorado ,” the song paints a vivid picture of hardworking characters living beyond the confines of the law:

“Way Down Yonder” was recorded along with the rest of the forthcoming album during a two-week period at Rice’s farm outside Nashville, with producer Oscar Charles using makeshift recording environment to capture a pure, raw style unlike any of his previous studio projects.

The shift in setting suited the set of more vulnerable, personal music from the man  Billboard   celebrates as “having storytelling details tumble from his lips, his portraits created quickly and efficiently,” with  CMT  noting, “The vocalist worked day in and day out to find the courage to knock down the wall he had kept up his entire career. Once he demolished the barricade holding him back, he left his heart and soul on the writing table.”

Review: Chase Rice continues to evolve on new album ‘Go Down Singin’

Singer-songwriter  Chase Rice  is set to release his new independent album, Go Down Singin’ on September 20. Following the success of his 2023 album  ‘I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell'  which Billboard hailed as “one of 2023’s most unexpected artistic pivots,” Rice continues to delve into personal and introspective themes with this new project.

The cover art for ‘Go Down Singin’' mirrors that of ‘I Hate Cowboys,' featuring a recreated image of Rice’s late father holding two Coors Banquets, paying tribute to the man who greatly influenced his life and music.

Reflecting on his journey, Rice considers this 11-song collection an important milestone. “I’m 38 now, and I’ve journaled since I was 15 years old, but there’s something about being able to tell other people. I’m a deep person, but I don’t know how to show it in real life, so I’m trying to do it in my music,” Rice says. “Go Down Singin’ is everything about where I am and what I want. I’m starting to see myself as who I want to be, not who I thought I should be. That’s a good start. And I think a lot of men struggle with this stuff, too.”

‘Go Down Singin' is a testament to Chase Rice's evolution as a songwriter and musician. Stripping back to raw, acoustic elements, the album presents an authentic and deeply personal exploration of Rice’s life, career, and the emotional experiences that come with it. Blending folk, country, and rock influences, Rice crafts songs that are both musically diverse and lyrically profound.

The album kicks off with the title track, a quiet and largely acoustic piece that showcases Rice’s resilience. Reflecting on the highs and lows of his career, he confidently sings, “I did my best, I went for broke.” This tender and melodic song sets the tone for the album, allowing listeners to relate to his journey of perseverance and independence.

‘Fireside,' co-written with Jackson Dean, brings a contrasting energy with its anthemic, folk-inspired vibe. The track builds from a soft beginning into a full-blown Mumford & Sons-style rocker, complete with explosive choruses and a dynamic fiddle performance. Rice’s invitation to “Come burn with me” captures the song's fiery spirit, marking it as a standout with its highs and lows. As the album continues Rice treats listeners to a mix of styles and sounds that remain always organic, earthy and honest.

‘That Word Don’t Work No More' takes a more somber turn, telling the story of a marriage from its inception to its sudden end. Co-written with Lori McKenna, (interestingly, it is one of four McKenna co-writes on this album!) the song features Rice’s deep, rich vocals, blending seamlessly with acoustic guitars and fiddles. The clever, impactful storytelling is a hallmark of McKenna's influence, and the song’s abrupt ending leaves a lingering sense of loss. Similarly, ‘If Drinkin’ Helped' (another Lori McKenna co-write) strips back to a quiet, acoustic foundation, with Rice’s vocals mixed high to give an intimate, room-like presence. The song captures the struggles of a troubadour lifestyle, exploring themes of loneliness and loss with haunting poignancy.

In ‘Hey God, It’s Me Again' Rice takes another quieter, folk-leaning approach. The track builds to a larger chorus, exploring themes of gratitude and the need for grounding. With lyrics like, “I need a different kind of rock in my roll,” Rice expresses a longing for stability amid his ongoing pursuit of dreams. This deep, meaningful song echoes the rawness of an Eric Church classic, capturing both vulnerability and strength.

‘Oh Tennessee' is perhaps the album’s crowning achievement. Rice’s vocals embody more Eric Church-style grittiness as he sings about self-destruction amidst Tennessee's allure. The song's final third transforms into an intense jam session, complete with darker gang vocals and wild guitars. Its mixture of raw emotion and a chaotic instrumental break gives the track a powerful, almost cathartic edge.

Rice keeps the intensity of the listen and the journey high on ‘Haw River.' Here he delves into darker storytelling reminiscent of Appalachian murder ballads, inspired by the ‘Yellowstone 1923' TV show. Depicting an abusive holy man, the song builds into a bombastic chorus filled with anger and vitriol. The story's climax, where a brave girl takes justice into her own hands, is punctuated by an extended guitar solo that drives the song toward its dramatic conclusion.

The album's emotional depth continues with ‘Numbers.' another track influenced by Eric Church. With rich, earthy instrumentation, Rice links numbers to life experiences, emphasising the importance of making the most of our days. His father's advice, “Put a few numbers in your days while you can,” resonates throughout this organic and earthy anthem.

‘Arkansas' brings a bit of levity to an intense listen, beginning with a spoken word intro about duck hunting at Christmas. The song unfolds into a folky, gang vocal-filled chorus, propelled by thumping drums and fiddle. The central refrain, “Boys, get your guns ready, we’re hunting on Christmas,” captures the song’s lively, almost communal spirit, promising to be a fan favourite at live shows. ‘Little Red Race Car,' meanwhile, is a classic three-part country song that evolves with each verse, reflecting on different stages of life. From childhood to adulthood, Rice uses his strong vocals and a hint of growl to convey nostalgia and the passage of time. The song's muscle-filled chorus gives it a powerful emotional punch.

The fourth Lori McKenna co-write and album closer, ‘You in ‘85' stands as a tribute to Rice's late father, framed within an '80s-inspired production complete with a big Elton John-style piano refrain. Rice touches on family memories, expressing a yearning for his father to witness his life's current path. The melodic guitar solo and final, uplifting third make this song an emotionally charged closer and the poster child for a varied, intense and emotional project.

‘Go Down Singin' is a deeply personal and musically diverse album that captures Chase Rice’s evolution as an artist. From soulful acoustic ballads to anthemic rockers, each track tells a story, offering listeners a raw and heartfelt glimpse into Rice's world. With its blend of introspection, nostalgia, and storytelling, this album solidifies Chase Rice’s growing reputation as a nuanced and mature voice in country music.

Written by Rice together with Hunter Phelps, John Byron, Blake Pendergrass and Corey Crowder during a writing retreat in Florida that also produced recent release “ Key West & Colorado ,” the song paints a vivid picture of hardworking characters living beyond the confines of the law:

        Way down yonder where the outlaws wander         You can feel that thunder in your bones         Rippin’ hot rod runners under moonlight cover         Just some back glass gunners on the road         Where you buy your bud with your moonshine money         Make your love where the bees make honey         When the cut’s where you’re born and raised         Man it ’ s in your blood, we were born this way down yonder

“Way Down Yonder” was recorded along with the rest of the forthcoming album during a two-week period at Rice’s farm outside Nashville, with producer Oscar Charles using makeshift recording environment to capture a pure, raw style unlike any of his previous studio projects.

        Way down yonder where the outlaws wander         You can feel that thunder in your bones         Rippin’ hot rod runners under moonlight cover         Just some back glass gunners on the road         Where you buy your bud with your moonshine money         Make your love where the bees make honey         When the cut’s where you’re born and raised         Man it’s in your blood, we were born this way down yonder

“Way Down Yonder” was recorded along with the rest of the forthcoming album during a two-week period at Rice’s farm outside Nashville, with producer Oscar Charles using makeshift recording environment to capture a pure, raw style unlike any of his previous studio projects.

The shift in setting suited the set of more vulnerable, personal music from the man  Billboard  celebrates as “having storytelling details tumble from his lips, his portraits created quickly and efficiently,” with  CMT  noting, “The vocalist worked day in and day out to find the courage to knock down the wall he had kept up his entire career. Once he demolished the barricade holding him back, he left his heart and soul on the writing table.”

About Chase Rice With nearly 2.4 million albums sold and over 2.4 billion total streams, plus a legion of passionate fans at his high-energy concerts across the globe, Chase Rice has established himself as a powerful force in Nashville and beyond. With the forthcoming album  I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell  crafted in his rural Tennessee home-turned-studio, his sound continues to evolve to reflect the realities of his life, as evidenced by recent releases “Key West & Colorado” and “Way Down Yonder.” The new music serves as a follow up to his three-part project,  The Album , featuring his latest Platinum-certified No. 1 hit, “Drinkin’ Beer. Talkin’ God. Amen. (feat. Florida Georgia Line)” and Platinum-certified Top 10 hit “Lonely If You Are.” This is the same gravelly-voiced Chase Rice fans first fell in love with years ago – but better, freer; unbeholden and uninhibited. The new music builds upon the success of his sophomore album,  Lambs & Lions , which featured the triple-Platinum, two-week chart topper “Eyes On You” – Rice’s first No. 1 as an artist and the most-streamed song of his career.  Lambs & Lions  followed  Ignite the Night , which debuted at No. 1 on  Billboard ’s Top Country Albums and No. 3 on the all-genre chart, producing a pair of Top 5 hits; “Gonna Wanna Tonight” and Platinum-certified “Ready Set Roll.” In addition to selling out arenas with Kane Brown and Jason Aldean plus stadiums with Kenny Chesney and Garth Brooks, Rice also consistently sells out venues across the U.S. and Europe on his own headlining tours.

Today, it's become an annual tradition in Brayden's hometown with the Highland Park High School football team and cheerleaders joining in the celebration. Brayden has also served as a camp counselor at the prestigious Manning Passing Academy.
