Little Big Town’s ready to hop on The Bandwagon Tour with their pal Miranda Lambert. The trek kicks off Thursday (July 12th) in Charlotte, North Carolina and is currently set to run until the end of August.
The band is excited about the tour, which will be separate sets, plus a full collaborative set together.
“We love her. We’ve loved her forever, and we were fans first and then friends,” says LBT’s Kimberly Schlapman. “[We’ve] been talking about trying to do something together on the road forever, and finally all of the schedules worked out. It’s going to be a true collaboration, which we’ve never really done ever.”
“It’s going to be a real, like event, versus just somebody opening, somebody closing, doing one finale song,” says LBT’s Karen Fairchild. “It’s going to be like a true collaboration. We may sing each other’s songs. We may cover things, I mean, I’m acting like I don’t know. I do know what we’re going to do [Jimi Westbrook laughs], but I think it’s going to be really special. It’ll be special for us. I hope the fans feel the same way.”
Little Big Town is currently making their way up the country charts with their latest song, “Summer Fever.”

KIMBERLY: “We love her. We’ve loved her forever, and we were fans first and then friends. [We’ve] been talking about trying to do something together on the road forever, and finally all of the schedules worked out. It’s going to be a true collaboration, which we’ve never really done ever.” PHILLIP: “We’re going to sing some songs, she’s going to sing her set and then we’re gonna do equally as long a set together. It’s gonna be like a big jam. The best thing about Miranda is she’s such a lover of music, and we can sit on a patio and open a bottle of wine and just have a great jam session with her. So that’s going to be kinda what this party’s gonna be.”
