The "Freedom Was a Highway" singer on Monday announced the 2022 Down Home Tour, which runs from February through May. The 19-city trek kicks off on Feb. 3 at the famed Troubadour in Los Angeles and concludes with back-to-back dates in Virginia on May 12 and 13.

Allen said he was waiting for the right time to book his debut headlining tour and was intentional about not wanting to "rush it."

"I wanted to make sure I was ready, my band was ready, so we could give the audience what they deserve every night -- which is greatness. And I finally feel like my band and I are at a point where greatness is something we can achieve," he explained. "To everyone that's supported us so far on our journey, thank you. We look forward to seeing you and a bunch of our new friends on the Down Home Tour."

Opening for the hit singer is duo Neon Union, the first act signed to Allen's newly announced management and production company, JAB Entertainment.
