The Trio Continues Their 7FOR7 Initiative Surprising Seven Deserving Families
With The Help Of Quicken Loans
Hunter Hayes and Special Guest Sam Hunt Stack Lineup For The 65-City Trek Beginning May 1
NASHVILLE, TN – In
advance of their performance on tomorrow’s People’s Choice Awards in Los
Angeles, Lady Antebellum dropped by CBS' The Talk today to announce
their headlining WHEELS UP 2015 TOUR presented by Quicken Loans. The
band will kick things off on Feb. 28 with a European trek through
Norway, Sweden, Ireland, Scotland, the UK and Australia and begin the
North American leg on May 1 in Lubbock, TX. The tour will continue
through the fall with triple-threat entertainer Hunter Hayes and red-hot
newcomer Sam Hunt rounding out the electric lineup. Citi is the
official credit card of the WHEELS UP 2015 TOUR with Citi cardmembers
having access to pre-sale tickets through Citi’s Private Pass Program at
www.citiprivatepass.com, or visit www.LadyAntebellum.com
to join the mailing list and be the first to know about VIP ticket
information as more dates are announced. Fans can also purchase tickets
in select markets as part of tour promoter Live Nation’s Country
Megaticket beginning the week of Jan. 26 at www.Megaticket.com.
“The magic of being with fans from all over the country is really why
we’re ultimately all here,” said Lady A’s Charles Kelley. “Being able to
play off each other on that stage is honestly where we have the most
fun, and I have a feeling the crowd will already be on their feet when
we get out there after starting the night with Hunter and Sam!"
Last year, Lady Antebellum launched their 7FOR7 initiative where they
fulfilled seven wishes for seven fans in seven days. Continuing with
their unique campaign, the band has partnered with Detroit-based Quicken
Loans, the nation’s second largest mortgage lender, to pay the
mortgages of seven families across the country for one year.
"Lady Antebellum has very devoted fans and we cannot wait to help
several of them not only enjoy some great music through our sponsorship
of this tour, but also enjoy a yearlong vacation from mortgage
payments,” said Jay Farner, President and Chief Marketing Officer for
Quicken Loans.
The trio’s “warranted leap to stardom” (Dallas Morning News)
and undeniable chemistry has continuously commanded the attention of
critics who continue to praise their “effortless harmonies and raw
emotion” (The Washington Post) and “top-notch, high energy” performances (The Boston Herald).

Seven-time GRAMMY winning group Lady Antebellum’s fifth studio album,
747, has spawned the PLATINUM certified multi-week chart-topping smash
hit “Bartender,” and its new single “Freestyle” is quickly climbing the
charts. The new album follows over 11 million albums sold worldwide,
nine trips to No. one on the country radio charts, six Platinum singles
and “Vocal Group of the Year” honors from both the CMA and ACMs three
years in a row. The trio’s new headlining tour, which will once again

features the GRAMMY-nominated hit, “Invisible.”
