Brad Paisley runs Bonfires and Amplifiers trek into next year
Brad Paisley continues to pile dates onto one of country music's most successful tours of 2007 as his Bonfires and Amplifiers trek gets extended into February of the new year.
The country star, who plays tonight (10/5) before a sold-out crowd in Cincinnati, has hit the 750,000 mark in tickets sold on his current tour, according to his publicist. The 2007 version of the tour started back in April and runs through a Dec. 1 date in Columbus, OH.
Paisley's 2008 campaign will get off to a quick start, kicking off Jan. 16 in Denver. The singer has already lined up 13 shows next year, with special guests for the initial 2008 leg including Rodney Atkins and Chuck Wicks. All of Paisley's currently scheduled dates for both this year and next are shown below.
Paisley is supporting his new album, "5th Gear," which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart and No. 3 on The Billboard 200 last month. The record earned the Grammy-nominated performer the highest first-week sales of his career, with more than 197,000 copies snatched up, according to a press release.
The set's first single, "Ticks," scored Paisley his eighth No. 1, and the follow-up single "Online" recently hit the No. 1 position on the R&R Country Singles sales chart. In July, the video for "Online" topped the iTunes sales chart, marking the first time a country song has ever topped the list, according to a statement.
The video, which features celebrity guests including William Shatner and Jason Alexander, is streaming at Paisley's website.
