Josiah Queen is heading into a new chapter on the road with his first headlining arena tour.

The 23-year-old singer-songwriter will launch the Damascus Road Tour on April 8, 2027, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The 17-date run will travel across the U.S. and Canada before wrapping May 8 in Fort Worth, Texas, with stops in cities including Indianapolis, Toronto, Charlotte, Minneapolis, Kansas City and Anaheim.

The tour takes its name from Queen’s upcoming third studio album, “Damascus Road,” due October 23. For Queen, the title reflects the biblical story of Saul’s encounter with Jesus — and the kind of transformation behind many of his new songs.

“Damascus Road is really personal to me because that story is all about being changed by an encounter with God,” Queen said.

Fans have responded quickly. According to tour promoter TPR Live, more than 100,000 tickets were sold within the first 24 hours of sales, making it Queen’s biggest tour to date.

The arena run follows several years of steady growth for Queen, whose songs include “The Prodigal,” “Dusty Bibles,” “Can’t Steal My Joy” and “Demons.”
