RASCAL FLATTS GEAR UP FOR SUMMER TOUR WITH SPECIAL GUESTS KELSEA BALLERINI AND CHRIS LANE AS SECOND VEGAS RESIDENCY WRAPS TO CRITICS’ APPLAUSE

03.07.2016

Nashville, TN (March 7, 2016) – ACM Vocal Group Of The Year Nominees RASCAL FLATTS wrapped their second wildly-successful Vegas Residency this weekend at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.  Over the course of their nine-show spectacular critics praised as “the trio that’s practically made of gold and platinum” (Las Vegas Magazine) “blasted through hit after hit” (Las Vegas Review Journal) as well as a surprise cameo from Brian McKnight much “to the delight of the band and their fans” (Las Vegas Sun.) Following enthusiastic feedback to the group’s stripped-down setup in Vegas, that allowed the group to fully engage with fans, Rascal Flatts announced today that their headlining RASCAL FLATTS: RHYTHM AND ROOTS TOUR will kick off in Charlotte, NC on 6/17 and the trio have invited two-time ACM nominee Kelsea Ballerini and red-hot newcomer Chris Lane to join them out on the road.

“It’s really important to us that each year our shows are fresh and exciting for our fans,” said Jay DeMarcus.  “We put a lot of thought into how to do that this year and mixing it up in Vegas was really fun so we decided to continue with this new change of pace out on the road this summer.  We are so pumped because no-one has ever seen Rascal Flatts like this before and we’re really excited to have such great support this year with Kelsea and Chris too, it’s going to be a blast!”
