Russ kicked off his highly anticipated ‘Into the W!ld’ tour with a sold-out Red Rocks show, selling around 9,000 tickets.
On Wednesday, multi-platinum artist and producer Russ kicked off his highly anticipated headline “Into the W!ld” tour with a sold-out Red Rocks Amphitheatre show in Morrison, CO, selling around 9,000 tickets. The tour, produced by Live Nation, will run through major cities including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Toronto, and more. Big Sean and singer-songwriter Sabrina Claudio will support on all dates.
The “Into the W!ld” tour is in support of Russ’ sixth studio album, W!LD. Entirely executive-produced by Russ, the album marks the beginning of a new chapter as he begins to explore the inner parts of himself that he hadn’t embraced until now. W!LD includes production from Jake Jepson, Kiri Gerbs, Russ, and more. It features 19 tracks, including previously unreleased singles, “Crazy,” “Pent Up in a Penthouse,” “Movin,” and “April 7.”
A champion for independent artists, Russ was recently awarded with Billboard’s coveted “Indie Trailblazer” Award at their Power Players event earlier this month. Aside from music, Russ recently became a New York Times best-selling author with the release of his second book, “it was you all along.” The book rose to the Top 10 in the world on Amazon with pre-sales, charted as the #5 self-help book, and #1 best-selling book in Rap & Hip-Hop Musician Biographies.
Russ also recently featured in M. Night Shyamalan’s latest film, TRAP, and up next, he will star in Don’t Move, the new film from director Maclain Nelson, James Murray (Impractical Jokers), and Darren Wearmouth.
