George Strait, who just picked up the ACM Award for Entertainer of the Year, says he made the right decision when he chose not to tour anymore after The Cowboy Rides Away Tour. While he’ll perform a few shows here and there, he says he won’t launch another massive tour after he wraps up his current trek at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, with an all-star lineup of Alan Jackson, Eric Church, Vince Gill, Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney, Martina McBride, Sheryl Crow, Lee Ann Womack and others.

It’s been a great two years of touring. We probably got about 10 more things to do this year, and then we’re done for a while,” says King George. “I’ll probably take a year off and maybe do a record, and then I’m gonna do a few dates after that…here and there.”

George, who is currently climbing the charts with his latest single, “I Got a Car,” will perform in Des Moines, Iowa on Friday (April 18th) and Tulsa, Oklahoma on Saturday (April 19th).

George Strait (immediate future plans) OC: …tour, though. :22
“I really think I made the right choice. I really do. It’s been a great two years of touring. We probably got about 10 more things to do this year, and then we’re done for a while. I’ll probably take a year off and maybe do a record, and then I’m gonna do a few dates after that…here and there. So, it’s been a great tour, though.”
