DARIUS RUCKER ANNOUNCES HIS 2016 GOOD FOR A GOOD TIME TOUR.
Artist
Darius Rucker

Three-time GRAMMY Award winner Darius Rucker will kick off his 2016 Good for a Good Time Tour in Tampa, Florida on June 3rd. The trek will feature opening acts Dan + Shay, who are celebrating their first No. 1 single with “Nothin’ Like You” and rising country singer Michael Ray, who was the only new male country artist of 2015 to have a No. 1 single in 2015, with “Kiss You in the Morning.” Over 30 stops across the country have been announced so far with more to come! Fans can purchase tickets beginning January 29th for select cities as part of Live Nation’s Country Megaticket at www.Megaticket.com.

“When you do tours, the opening act is so important, because you want to put guys in the seats and you also want to entertain your friends, the people who want to see you,” says Darius. “And for me, also, one of the prerequisites is I gotta have guys I can hang out with, and go sit down and have dinner with and maybe play a round of golf with, drink a beer with after the show, before the show. So, those guys fit that, all that, perfectly.”

More than 400,000 fans turned out to experience Rucker’s incomparable vocals and raucous good time during last year’s Southern Style Tour, so expectations are high for 2016.

Rucker plans to once again provide his concerts as a platform to honor and present homes to our nation’s combat wounded heroes and Gold Star spouses, in conjunction with Project Rebuild. Rucker, along with Lieutenant General Sisco, CEO and founder of Military Warriors Support Foundation, presented the first house in an appearance on NBC’s Today and went on to present 13 more homes in 2015. The Project Rebuild campaign arose from a partnership between Dr Pepper Snapple Group and Military Warriors Support Foundation to assist in rebuilding the lives of our wounded veterans. Project Rebuild helps place wounded veterans in mortgage-free homes and help ease the transition back to civilian life.

The Good for a Good Time Tour will also partner with the rideshare app Uber for select dates, giving fans the chance to win free rides as well as VIP packages. A few lucky riders in cities across the United States will win VIP packages for a Good for a Good Time Tour stop which include 2 tickets to the show, an exclusive Darius Rucker pre-show acoustic performance, and invitation to a pre-show party in the VIP Party Lounge. Fans can enter the promo code GOODTIME to enter to win, and first time users will also receive $20 off their first ride.

Darius Rucker (Good for a Good Time Tour) OC: …different and big. :34
“When you do tours, the opening act is so important, because you want to put guys in the seats and you also want to entertain your friends, the people who want to see you. And for me, also, one of the prerequisites is I gotta have guys I can hang out with, and go sit down and have dinner with and maybe play a round of golf with, drink a beer with after the show, before the show. So, those guys fit that, all that, perfectly. They’re all doing so well. Dan & Shay just had a No. 1, and Michael Ray is just racing up the charts and doing so well. So, I love having them help me, but I also love helping them to just get on that stage and doing something different and big.”
