ArtsQuest will welcome country artist Kip Moore to its flagship festival Musikfest this August.

Moore will headline the Wind Creek Steel Stage at PNC Plaza on Aug. 5.

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday on musikfest.org.

The Georgia-born country singer songwriter made his way into the mainstream with the double-platinum album “Up All Night” in 2012. The album was considered the most commercially successful debut for a male country artist in both 2012 and 2013, featuring Billboard chart topping recordings “Somethin’ ’Bout a Truck,” “Hey Pretty Girl,” and “Beer Money.”

He went on to record “Wild Ones,” featuring single “I’m to Blame,” in 2015. Over the course of the next three years, Moore recorded the album “Slowheart,” featuring “More Girls Like You,” and “Room to Spare: The Acoustic Sessions,” a seven-track EP featuring “Plead the Fifth,” and “It Ain’t California.”

Moore has toured the world extensively, earning a reputation as an all-in performer.

His newest album, “Wild World” is a 13-track collection written by Moore as he traveled the globe in 2019. The emotional weathered heartland-rock album was recorded live with a full band, aiming to showcase “substance over the trendy,” according to Moore.

“Wild World” is full of character and features songs “Red White Blue Jean American Dream,” the 12-string backed “Payin’ Hard” and “Sweet Virginia,” co-written in a Scottish dressing room.

Musikfest will take place Aug. 5-14, 2022. This year’s lineup includes Ziggy Marley - A Live Tribute to His Father, Counting Crows, Willie Nelson & Family, Kelsea Ballerini, Alabama and Poison.

Additional announcements will be shared throughout the year. Visit musikfest.org for more information.
