SHANIA TWAIN IS GOING TO ‘ROCK THIS COUNTRY’ WITH A NEW TOUR.

Shania Twain is launching her first tour in 11 years, she announced on ABC’s Good Morning America, and she says it’ll be her last one. Shania spent the past couple years in residency at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas (her run ended in December), and she’s ready to hit the road! The Rock This Country Tour – which she has deemed a “celebration tour,” will kick off June 5th in Seattle, followed by a string of homecoming dates in her native Canada. Then, she’ll head back across the border with stops in New York City, Boston, Miami, Washington, D.C, Philadelphia, Nashville and many other major cities, before wrapping up in Fresno, California, just a few days before Shania’s 50th birthday in August.

“I look forward to having even more flexibility and more spontaneity in the show.  And the production will be entirely different than what we did in Vegas because now we have more options being in a different type of space that we can explore and play around with.  So I’m going to have fun with that,” says Shania. “And also  reconnecting with a bigger audience and the vibe of that is a bit more of a party atmosphere I guess.  It’s like a party every night.”

Tickets for the Rock This Country tour will go on sale to fans on Tuesday, March 10th, and to the general public on Friday, March 13th.

The opening acts on Shania’s tour will be Canadian actor-singer Wes Mack from June 5th – June 28th; and Gavin DeGraw from June 30th – August 23rd.

Shania Twain (tour) 1 OC: …every night. [laughs] :46
“There are more variables when you are on tour with the show so every night is more different.  There’s nothing static about it. There’s always going to be variables that are going to happen.  There are more things that are unexpected.  It will be more spontaneous, for sure, and that’s exhilarating.  So I look forward to that.  I look forward to having even more flexibility and more spontaneity in the show.  And the production will be entirely different than what we did in Vegas because now we have more options being in a different type of space that we can explore and play around with.  So I’m going to have fun with that.  And also just, again, reconnecting with a bigger audience and the vibe of that is a bit more of a party atmosphere I guess.  It’s like a party every night.” [laughs]
