Nashville, TN – Jan. 17, 2014 – After returning to sold out arenas for the opening of tour last weekend, seven-time GRAMMY award-winning trio Lady Antebellum announced today that they will extend their North American TAKE ME DOWNTOWN TOUR. The now nearly 80-city tour will begin its summer leg on March 22 in Phoenix, AZ at Ak-Chin Pavilion. Fans can continue to purchase tickets for previously announced tour dates atwww.ladyantebellum.com and to select cities of the summer leg as part of Live Nation’s Country Megaticket beginning Jan. 24 at www.Megaticket.com.
“The energy from the crowds on opening weekend was like a drug…it was totally intoxicating,” said Lady A’s Charles Kelley. “It felt so unbelievable to be back on stage together, and each night was better than the last. We’re going on to North Dakota this weekend and from now through the summer amphitheater shows, we’re going to try and raise the bar night after night.”
Special guests Kip Moore and Kacey Musgraves are currently out with the trio and will continue on to the first newly announced summer shows. Lady A will also welcome a combination of Billy Currington, David Nail and Joe Nichols for the remaining new tour dates.
