TULSA, Okla. (July 15, 2025) — Grammy-nominated soul-rock powerhouse Marcus King is reuniting with his longtime group, Marcus King Band, and heading to Hard Rock Live inside Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa on Thursday, Oct. 30, at 8 p.m.

For the first time since the 2018 Carolina Confessions hit, Marcus King is returning to his roots and getting his band back together for an electrifying live performance.

The South Carolina native is celebrated for his fiery guitar work, soulful skills and emotionally raw performances. His solo run garnered critical acclaim with hits like El Dorado (2020), Young Blood (2022) and Mood Swings (2024), making him a defining voice in the Southern rock and soul scene.

The reunion comes ahead of the release of King’s latest studio album, Darling Blue, a heartfelt tribute to King’s Southern roots. Produced by Grammy winner Eddie Spear, the album features collaborations with Noah Cyrus, Bill Strings, Kaitlin Butts, Midland and Lainey Wilson. 

Throughout 2025, King will also be touring internationally alongside country legends Chris Stapleton, Cody Johnson and Eric Church.

Tickets start at $49.50 and go on sale July 18.
