Darius Rucker and Lady Antebellum Announce Co-Headlining “Summer Plays On Tour”

Lady Antebellum and Darius Rucker will join forces for a co-headlining tour dubbed the Summer Plays On Tour.

Kicking off on July 19 in Toronto, Ontario, the 30-date tour will make stops in Seattle, San Diego, Chicago and more.

Russell Dickerson will serve as the opening act.

Fans can purchase tickets beginning on Jan. 26 for select cities.

“For us as a band, being out on the road together is where it all comes to life,” said Lady A’s Charles Kelley. “Darius is one of our closest friends, and so we just feel really excited to get to share this tour and those memories on and off stage with him. There’s no doubt that it’s going to be a total blast and we’re thrilled to have Russell out with us too this summer—we’re already brainstorming ways to shake things up and make each night all about just being in the moment.”

“Reuniting this summer and heading back out on the road with my friends Lady Antebellum feels like a home away from home,” said Darius. “It’s going to be an incredible summer, and I can’t wait to see y’all out there!”
