Blake Whiten books The Moon for a February stop on his 2027 headline tour

The country singer who opened for Morgan Wallen this year plays Tallahassee on Saturday, Feb. 20 — early in his new headlining run.

A year ago, Blake Whiten was the name at the top of the opener list. In February he's the name on the marquee at The Moon.

Blake Whiten plays The Moon in Tallahassee on Saturday, Feb. 20, 2027. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the show starts at 7:30. Tickets are on sale through AXS. The date was announced Oct. 26, and The Moon holds 1,500 — a full-size Saturday night for a country artist on his way up.

The Tallahassee date is part of Whiten's 2027 headlining tour, which kicks off in mid-February, putting this show in the first stretch of the run. That's a good place to catch a tour: the set is fresh, the band is rested, and nobody's counting down to the last night yet.

The rise has been quick. In November 2025, Whiten was announced as an opener on Morgan Wallen's 2026 Still the Problem Tour — about as big a stage as a newer country act can get. He was also on the road this spring; in March he played Boston on a bill with Bailey Zimmerman and Hudson Westbrook. Then came his debut album, released July 3 via Enchntmnt and Warner Records, and the 16-stop Something To Say Tour that's been carrying him through the fall with Slater Nalley, including two nights in Nashville.

A year ago he was on the opener list. In February he's the name on the marquee at The Moon.

That's a lot of momentum for a single year: arena support slots, a debut record and his own fall headline run. The 2027 tour is the next step, and Tallahassee is getting it early.

The Moon is a smart room for it. At 1,500 capacity it's big enough to feel like an event and small enough that the Saturday crowd will be close to the stage rather than watching from a distance. For an artist who's spent a lot of 2026 opening for other people's audiences, a headline night in a room like this is where he gets to play to his own.

For local fans, the question is when to buy. Tickets went on sale with the late-October announcement, and Saturday-night country shows at a room this size have a way of filling up as the date gets closer. If you know you're going, there's no reason to wait until the new year.

If you caught Whiten opening somewhere this year and wanted a longer set, this is your night. If the debut album has been on repeat since July, this is where you hear it front to back with a crowd that knows it as well as you do.

Tickets are available now through AXS. Doors at 6:30, show at 7:30, and a February Saturday at The Moon.
