We’re only halfway through 2025 and this year alone, Max McNown has toured New Zealand’s Hobbiton (which we know anyone can do, but nonetheless envy him for) and more recently, shared the stage with Jake Owen at Nashville’s CMA Fest.

The wavy-haired, 23-year-old country singer-songwriter makes his Tampa Bay debut on Friday. Anyone who waited to get tickets to the Jannus show has already gotten their dose of bad luck for Friday the 13th—because the show is sold-out.

He’s touring off of his new album Night Diving, dropping July 18. The record feels like a deep dive into your 3 a.m. thoughts, related to questioning why your fiancé has been acting distant lately and rehearsing hard conversations with a friend.
