Fans can purchase tickets and special VIP experiences beginning Sept. 13. Visit www.ladyantebellum.com for the most updated on-sale information and www.cidentertainment.com/ladyantebellum for VIP opportunities. “We spent almost every day last year backstage writing for our album GOLDEN, so we were really focused on writing songs that would connect with the fans in these arenas. We definitely learned a lot about ourselves as live performers and the type of catalog we wanted to have so that we could go out and try to give the fans the best show they've ever experienced," explains Lady A's Charles Kelley. "All of that was the jumping off point for this tour, and now it's time to take it to the next level." Last year, Lady A hosted over one million fans across the globe in 11 countries on their first headlining world tour, which earned them Billboard Touring’s “Breakthrough Award,” CMA’s “International Artists Achievement Award” and will accept the “Jim Reeves International Award” at this fall’s ACM Honors. The shows were inspirational and critics praised the band’s “youthful exuberance and unending energy.” TAKE ME DOWNTOWN TOUR 2013 Dates: 11/8 Southaven, MS Landers Center 11/9 St. Louis, MO Chaifetz Arena 11/10 Evansville, IN Ford Center 11/12 Grand Rapids, MI Van Andel Arena 11/15 Chicago, IL Allstate Arena 11/16 Toledo, OH Huntington Center 11/17 Cleveland, OH Quicken Loans Arena 11/19 Fargo, ND Fargodome 11/21 Rapid City, SD Rusmore Plaza Civic Center 11/22 Denver, CO Pepsi Center 11/23 Salt Lake City, UT EnergySolutions Arena 12/3 Springfield, MO JQH Arena 12/5 Minneapolis, MN Target Center 12/6 Kansas City, MO Sprint Center 12/7 Omaha, NE CenturyLink Center 12/12 Cincinnati, OH U.S. Bank Arena 12/14 Peoria, IL Peoria Civic Center The harmony-based trio Lady Antebellum continues to reaffirm the very beginnings of Lady Antebellum by focusing on deft songwriting and fresh uses of their talents, which was at the heart of what drew them together in the first place. Since its 2006 inception, Lady A has won the “Vocal Group of the Year” honor from both the CMA and from the ACM’s three times in a row and sold over 11 million albums worldwide. The trio has taken seven trips to No. one on the country radio charts, earned five Platinum singles including their recent “Downtown” and has been awarded with seven GRAMMY awards including the all-genre “Record of the Year” and “Song of the Year.” In the end, the mix of their road experiences, songwriting and creative partnership have allowed the magic to remain - because they have kept the focus on the music. Platinum-selling artist Kip Moore’s current No. one hit “Hey Pretty Girl” is the third consecutive chart-topper off his debut album UP ALL NIGHT, which was the best selling debut album from any country artist released last year. His first No. one single, “Somethin’ ‘Bout A Truck,” held the top spot on both charts for two weeks making him the first solo artist in four years to have a debut album’s first single go No. one for multiple weeks. Moore has already sold out dozens of headlining shows this year, often in just minutes and recently played his first stadium show as part of CMA Music Festival: Country’s Night to Rock. Nashville-based singer/songwriter, Kacey Musgraves released her debut album Same Trailer Different Park this past spring to massive critical acclaim and recognition. The album debuted at No. one on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart making her the first solo female in five years to open at No. one with a rookie release. She’s received ACM, CMT and Teen Choice Award nominations and her Top 10 single "Merry Go 'Round" was recently certified Gold and follow up single "Blowin' Smoke" is currently climbing the charts.
