Following the complete sell-out of their recent UK/European tours and their first-ever Australian headline concerts, Dirty Honey is set to start the North American leg of their tour on September 13th in Illinois and conclude on November 2nd in Southern California. This leg of the tour will feature special guests, The Band Feel, on most dates.
The excitement surrounding the tour is matched by the success of Dirty Honey’s new single, "Don’t Put Out The Fire." The track debuted as the #1 Most Added Track at Active Rock Radio and saw a massive 59-point jump on the Active Rock Radio chart in its first week. The music video, shot live in Milan, Italy, is a must-watch for fans.

As you can tell from our live videos, audiences from Milan to Sydney and everywhere in between have been thirsty for our brand of Rock N’ Roll and we’re more excited than ever to get face to face with our fans right here at home.”

Dirty Honey, based in Los Angeles, made history in 2019 with their debut single, "When I’m Gone," which reached #1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock and Hard Rock charts, making them the first independent, unsigned artist to achieve this feat. Their self-titled debut album, released in April 2021, entered the Current Hard Rock Album chart at #2 without any major label support. The band has also garnered rave reviews and standing ovations when they opened for The Black Crowes during the Summer 2021 "Shake Your Money Maker" U.S. amphitheater tour, averaging $15,000 a night in t-shirt and merch sales.
The band has toured the UK and Europe multiple times, with all headline dates selling out, and has opened for legends like Rival Sons, KISS, and Guns N’ Roses. Their headline tour in January of last year saw 30 sold-out shows in 13 countries. Their latest tours included support shows with Guns N’ Roses and KISS, major festival appearances, and headline dates in 12 countries, all of which sold out.
