Brooks & Dunn and Friends - Final Date on The Last Rodeo Tour to Play Nashville as a Benefit for the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum

August 10 Nashville Performance Wraps the Duo’s Final Tour Together

Venues Announced for Most Shows, on Sale March 6

Nashville, TN – Superstar duo Brooks & Dunn made a special appearance today during the Country Radio Seminar in Nashville to announce that the final show on their upcoming concert trek, The Last Rodeo Tour, will be Brooks & Dunn and Friends, a benefit concert for the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum.  Set to take place at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on August 10, with special guests to be announced, the show will mark the concert culmination of the duo’s groundbreaking 20-year career.

In sharing the news, Brooks & Dunn offered this statement: “For several years, we have tossed around ideas for the best way to make a contribution to the Museum.  We have a tremendous appreciation for the road that was traveled by the great stars that came before us.  Their long nights in station wagons with instruments strapped on the roofs built an industry that allowed us to cruise around in big tour buses.  Our last show together will certainly be a historic point in our lives and careers, and we feel it’s only right that the proceeds from this concert go to a place where all history in our business is so reverently preserved.”

“The enormity of this gesture, including the endorsement it implies and the example it sets, is something the Museum’s board and staff will contemplate with gratitude for a very long time,” said Museum Director Kyle Young.  “We are grateful to Kix and Ronnie for supporting our educational mission and for putting the Museum on the radar screen of their nation of fans.  The only word for them is magnificent!”

The Nashville show will join the majority of The Last Rodeo Tour dates going on sale March 6.  A complete list of dates and markets appears below.  Visit www.livenation.com or www.ticketmaster.com for tickets.  Fans can watch the duo’s website at www.brooks-dunn.com for all the latest tour information.

ARRESTED now in Colorado...but what a story and week for 2 brothers and their stripper sister! Text messages and tweets by three fugitive siblings who shot at a police officer and robbed a bank reveal a dangerous mindset and a firm bond between the siblings, "We've certainly seen their mindset when... They shot at a law enforcement officer outside of Tampa Bay, Fla., and when they fired inside that bank in Valdosta, Ga. But these additional texts and tweets have given us additional insight," FBI Special Agent Stephen Emmett told "Good Morning America" today.
