Alan Jackson, Brooks & Dunn share the bill
Country music superstars Alan Jackson and Brooks & Dunn are pairing up for a co-headlining tour this year.
The North American outing, which comprises nearly 30 coast-to-coast dates, kicks off May 10 in Virginia Beach, VA, and wraps with several October shows in Florida. Details are listed below.
Collectively, the two Grammy-winning acts have scored more than 50 No. 1 singles and sold almost 80 million albums, according to a press release.
Jackson, a three-time Country Music Association Entertainer of the Year winner, topped the album charts twice last year with the platinum-selling "Precious Memories," which is a collection of gospel classics, and "Like Red on a Rose," which spawned current single "A Woman's Love."
Brooks & Dunn is the most-awarded act in CMA and Academy of Country Music history, according to a statement. The duo's most recent album, 2005's platinum-certified "Hillbilly Deluxe," launched their 23rd No. 1 single, "Play Something Country," and their award-winning hit "Believe."
Brooks & Dunn currently have a handful of their own headlining dates on the books, and will play a six-show run of NFL stadiums during Kenny Chesney's Flip Flop Summer Tour.
Newcomers Jake Owen and Catherine Britt will open the Jackson/Brooks & Dunn trek. Owen, one of the top-selling new male artists of 2006, is riding high on his hit single "Yee Haw," from his debut album, "Startin' with Me," according to a press release. Australian beauty Britt is currently on the airwaves with "What I Did Last Night," the first single from her upcoming RCA Nashville debut.
