    Fort Worth singer Leon Bridges is planning a hometown show on his new tour.

    Bridges, 35, announced Thursday that “The Leon Tour” will stop by Dickies Arena on Nov. 15. The tour is in support of Bridge’s forthcoming and fourth overall album, “Leon,” which releases on Oct. 4.

    Presale tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Aug. 20 and end at 10 p.m. Aug. 22. Public tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Aug. 23 via Ticketmaster.

    The Fort Worth concert is the last stop on Bridges’ fall tour, where he will be joined by Charley Crockett and Hermanos Gutiérrez.

    “The tour starts in Austin and ends with a truly epic night in Fort Worth—aka Panther City—joined by my friend and Texas legend, Charley Crockett,” Bridges wrote on social media. “Can’t wait to play this record for y’all live! Hope to see you out there.”

    Bridges announced “Leon” last week, along with the first single from the album — “Peaceful Place”.

    The album was mainly recorded and produced in Mexico City, with co-production in Nashville. In total, “Leon” has 13 tracks, one of which is named “Panther City,” a nickname for Fort Worth.

    Bridges released a snippet of “Panther City” on his Instagram a couple of weeks ago. The song lyrics reference summertime in Southside Fort Worth and going to the community center to play on a Nintendo 64 video game console.

    Another post teases a song with the lyrics,” On Rosedale, my father said go straight home or I’d catch hell/Don’t walk around those streets at night.”

    The post also shows Bridges and fellow Fort Worth singer Abraham Alexander at the historic Sinclair Service Station at 3725 McCart Ave.

    Bridges was born in Atlanta but raised in Fort Worth.

    Between open mics, he washed dishes at Cowtown’s Del Frisco’s Grille until he skyrocketed to fame in 2015 after his debut album, “Coming Home.” Since then, he’s released two additional albums.

    “Leon” releases on Oct. 4.
