George Strait announced plans for star-studded, six-stop stadium tour on Monday (October 24), bringing eight-time Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Chris Stapleton and beloved country quartet Little Big Town — made up of Karen Fairchild, Phillip Sweet, Kimberly Schlapman and Jimi Westbrook — on the nationwide trek.
Strait is slated to perform at stadiums in Arizona, Wisconsin, Washington, Colorado, Tennessee and Florida. Tickets to all six shows will be available next Friday, November 4, at 10 a.m. local time on the country music legend’s website, according to a press release on Monday.
“When I walk through those curtains and see those smiling faces, my feet don’t touch the ground again ‘til I walk back out and get on that bus that got me there. That’s from a song I wrote called ‘I’ll Always Remember You.’ It’s a true statement,” Strait told Billboard of the announcement, per the release. “When we talked about doing these six shows next year with Chris, it was a no brainer for me. I was all in.”
“I love doing these shows with George about as much as I like doing anything. There’s nothing to compare it to,” Stapleton added. “So many of his songs are in the ethos of what country music is. Playing these shows together is a great experience all the way around.”
