Alexandra Kay kicks off her One Woman Show tour in Columbus

Two years after playing Nationwide Arena, the country singer opens her North American headline run at The Bluestone on Friday, Jan. 22.

The first night of a tour is its own kind of show: new set, new production, and a crowd that gets to see it before anyone else. Columbus gets that night in January. Alexandra Kay plays The Bluestone on Friday, Jan. 22, 2027, at 7 p.m., the opening date of her One Woman Show tour. The show was announced Oct. 28, and tickets are sold through AXS.

It's her first Columbus show since Oct. 9, 2024, when she played Nationwide Arena. The move from an arena to The Bluestone's roughly 1,000-capacity room is a big change in scale, and for fans it's a chance to see her far closer than the last time she came through town.

A lot has happened in those two years. In October 2025 she released her second album, Second Wind, on BBR Music Group and Wheelhouse Records, and toured behind it with Second Wind: The Tour. The record is still her latest; no third album has been announced.

What has grown is her reach overseas. Kay played BST Hyde Park in London in 2026, and she followed it by announcing what's been described as her biggest UK and European headline tour to date, the Straight for the Heart tour, for spring 2027. That run includes Munich on April 1, Dublin's 3Olympia on April 6 and Belfast's Ulster Hall on April 8.

Columbus gets the first night, before the One Woman Show heads to Detroit, Toronto and Boston.

Before she crosses the Atlantic, there's the North American run, and it starts here. The One Woman Show tour opens in Columbus on Jan. 22 and continues to cities including Detroit, Toronto and Boston, according to the tour announcement. In announcing it, Kay kept the focus on her fans rather than on new music, which fits the title: this is billed as her show, built around the people who have followed her this far.

The Bluestone is a fitting place to start something like that. At around 1,000 capacity, it's large enough for a real production and small enough that a singer can see the faces in the back. On a Friday night in January, it's also a warm room on what is usually a cold night downtown.

The listing files Kay under country music, and the crowd will likely be a mix of longtime fans who found her early and newer listeners who came in with Second Wind. Expect the songs from that record to anchor the night, alongside whatever she has built into a show that carries her own name.

Practical notes: the show starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are through AXS via the link on this page. Opening nights tend to draw the most dedicated fans, so don't wait too long if you want to be in the room.

Two years ago she was one name on a big arena night. This time Columbus gets her first, and gets her up close.
