The celebration officially began in February 2026 with an exclusive live performance and interview at SiriusXM’s Nashville studios before a live audience, followed by a special broadcast across North America on SiriusXM’s Y2Kountry channel.\nReleased in 2000, Play It Loud featured the breakout hit “I Breathe In, I Breathe Out” and established Cagle as one of country music’s fastest-rising stars. The anniversary tour revisits the songs that launched his career while celebrating the music that has generated more than 2 billion career streams and continues to resonate with longtime fans and new audiences alike.\n\nABOUT THE ARTIST\nBorn in De Ridder, Louisiana, and raised in Houston, Texas, Chris Cagle pursued his dream of becoming a country music artist after relocating to Nashville in 1994. While working several jobs to support himself, he earned his first publishing deal, leading to his song “I Breathe In, I Breathe Out” being recorded by David Kersh. Determined to perform his own music, Cagle signed with Virgin Records in 2000 and released Play It Loud, the album that launched his recording career.\nThe Gold-certified debut produced multiple country hits, including “My Love Goes On & On,” “Laredo,” and his first No. 1 single, “I Breathe In, I Breathe Out.” His self-titled sophomore album debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart and added fan favorites such as “What A Beautiful Day” and “Chicks Dig It.” Additional hits including “Miss Me Baby,” “What Kinda Gone,” “Got My Country On,” “Let There Be Cowgirls,” and “Country By The Grace Of God” have helped establish Cagle as one of the defining country artists of the 2000s.\nToday, with more than 2 billion global streams, Chris Cagle continues to tour nationwide, delivering the high-energy performances that have made him a fan favorite throughout his career.\nAWARDS & RECOGNITIONS\nChris Cagle has earned numerous milestones throughout his career, beginning with RIAA Gold certifications for both Play It Loud and his self-titled sophomore album.\nHe has charted 12 singles on Billboard’s country charts, including the No. 1 hit “I Breathe In, I Breathe Out,” while “Laredo,” “What A Beautiful Day,” and “Chicks Dig It” all reached the Top 5. Early in his career, he was honored as CMT Breakthrough Artist of the Year and received an Academy of Country Music Award nomination for New Male Vocalist.\nIn 2026, Cagle celebrated another significant milestone when Pandora recognized him as a Pandora Billionaire after surpassing one billion streams on the platform. The achievement coincided with SiriusXM’s launch of 25 Years of Playing It Loud, a special documentary series exploring the stories behind the songs that helped define his career.\nCOMMUNITY & IMPACT\nAway from the spotlight, Chris Cagle is committed to supporting charitable organizations that benefit children and families. He serves on the Executive Committee of the Body Balance Foundation, helping advance philanthropic initiatives throughout Texas and beyond.\nAmong those efforts is the foundation’s Toys FORE Kids program, which provides holiday gifts to patients at Texas Children’s Hospital, as well as the annual Go 4 The Bell Gala, supporting children battling cancer. Through these initiatives, Cagle continues to use his platform to make a positive impact in the communities that have supported him throughout his career.\nRING IN THE NEW YEAR WITH CHRIS CAGLE\nCelebrate the start of 2027 with one of country music’s most recognizable voices as Chris Cagle brings the Play It Loud 25th Anniversary Tour to Arena Theatre for a special New Year’s Eve concert.
