Country Star Lainey Wilson to Headline St. Paul’s Xcel Energy Center

Published January 31, 2025

Lainey Wilson, a rising star in the country music scene, is set to headlining her largest tour yet. This includes a much-anticipated performance on October 18 at St. Paul’s Xcel Energy Center.

Tickets for this exciting event will be available starting at 10 a.m. on February 7 through Ticketmaster. Fans who hold Citi credit cards and Verizon customers will have an exclusive opportunity to purchase tickets during the presale period from 10 a.m. on February 4 until 10 p.m. on February 6.

Born in Louisiana, Wilson’s passion for music ignited at a young age when she attended a concert at the Grand Ole Opry at just 9 years old. She quickly began writing her own songs and spent her teenage years performing as a Hannah Montana impersonator at various events, such as birthday parties and fairs.

After completing her high school education, Wilson moved to Nashville, where she lived in a camper trailer parked outside a recording studio. She released two albums with independent labels before landing a significant deal with a major record label in 2018. Her breakthrough came two years later when her debut single, “Things a Man Oughta Know,” topped the Billboard country airplay chart. Since then, she has gained further recognition with hit songs such as “Heart Like a Truck,” “Watermelon Moonshine,” and “Wildflowers and Wild Horses.” Her upcoming tour will promote her fifth studio album, titled “Whirlwind.”

In addition to her music career, Lainey Wilson has ventured into acting. She appeared in a small role for five episodes in the popular Western drama series “Yellowstone.”
