THE BAND CAMINO’S “THE TAKING SHAPE TOUR”
& KNOX’S OWN “THE VARSITY TOUR”
EAGERLY AWAITED LOLLAPALOOZA DEBUT SET FOR SUNDAY, AUGUST 4
Nashville-based alt-pop artist Knox is kicking off the summer with his high energy new single, “Treadmill,” available now via Atlantic Records. The track is joined by an official music video premiering today.
“Treadmill” continues a busy year for Knox following such singles as “Here’s To Us,” “Me Myself & Your Eyes,” and “Change Your Mind,” the latter of which arrived alongside an official music video streaming HERE following its broadcast premiere on NickMusic and on the world famous Paramount billboard in Times Square.
Recent months have also seen the breakthrough fan favorite, “Not The 1975,” explode into the upper echelons of multi-format pop success, currently boasting more than 20M global streams while peaking at #17 at Top 40 and Top 10 at Hot AC radio outlets nationwide. An electrifying live performance video filmed at Vevo Studio Los Angeles can be viewed HERE.
Hailed by Billboard for his “witty songwriting,” Knox – who recently performed “Not The 1975” at the opening ceremonies for the 2024 Scripps National Spelling Bee – will spend much of his summer on the road as special guest on The Band CAMINO’s “The Taking Shape Tour” and on his own headline “Varsity Tour,” beginning July 8 with a sold-out show at Seattle, WA’s Showbox SoDo and then continuing through the month. Knox will follow the CAMINO tour with a festival performance at Chicago, IL’s Lollapalooza (Sunday, August 4) and his headline Varsity Tour, kicking off August 21 in Athens, GA.

ABOUT KNOX:
Growing up, Knox knew he had an interest in music more than the average kid. His teenage years were sound tracked by artists such as Fall Out Boy and Ed Sheeran, and the summer before he started college, Knox taught himself guitar. He began playing open mic nights and by his sophomore year, his musical ambitions were so all-consuming that he dropped out of school, moved in with his grandma and saved up money to move to Nashville. He made the leap in January 2019.
Knox used Covid isolation to work on his craft. The focus paid off: Knox signed a publishing deal in 2022 but was struck with the urge to record songs he had been working on. The result was How to Lose a Girl in 7 Songs, Knox’s debut EP, released February 2023. Knox filmed TikToks featuring his song “Sneakers”, and amassed nearly 2M views overnight. “Sneakers” now has over 35M streams. Another fan favorite track, “Not The 1975,” reached the Top 40 and Hot AC radio charts, and is featured on Knox’s latest EP, I’m So Good At Being Alone?, released October 2023.
Knox has spent much of his time on the road, including runs alongside The Band CAMINO, Nightly, and Boys Like Girls, and most recently, his sold-out debut headline tour, “The I’m So Good At Being Alone Tour.”
“I’m 6 states away from home and there’s a thousand people in the audience that are singing the song that I wrote with my friends in my bedroom,” says Knox. “That’s when it gets you, when you see people connecting to something that I made with my best friends. It’s the most unreal feeling in the world.”
