So, for those of you that didn't have a chance to see
Rascal Flatts while they were on tour in 2010, worry not. It turns out that the guys had so much fun promoting their most recent studio effort,
Nothing Like This, that they don't want to stop playing their new tunes for the fans.
And - amazingly enough - they managed to pile on another 21 stops to the tour and not duplicate a single venue. It looks as though their tour management has as much talent as the artists themselves. This tour will take them from the
Sioux Falls Arena in Sioux Falls, SD to the
Ford Center in Oklahoma City, OK. Of course there are stops in between like when they perform for their Omaha fans at the
Qwest Center or regale their Louisiana contingency by playing the
New Orleans Arena or get rowdy with their youngster fans at the
University of Illinois - Assembly Hall. And there are another 16 stops on the
Rascal Flatts upcoming tour schedule that aren't even mentioned. These guys seem to genuinely like the road - which is a rare trait among many of the modern music acts that have reached the level of success as these five-time platinum album creators.
Luke Bryan and
Chris Young - two talented and successful country music artists in their own right - are filling out the Nothing Like This 2011 Tour as opening acts.
So, if you have a hankering for some good ol' country and want to see a band that many music critics are calling the band that has most helped country music evolve through the past ten years to become as widely accepted and appreciated as it is today, 2011 might just be your lucky year. Or if you just want to hear their award winning music,
Nothing Like This will be available in record stores starting tomorrow, November 16.
