BROOKS & DUNN REBOOT 2020 TOUR LAUNCHES IN MAY

Brooks & Dunn have announced their return to the road with the Brooks & Dunn REBOOT 2020 TOUR. After their No. One-selling collaboration album REBOOT, the five-time “Entertainer of the Year” winners are ready to pick up right where they left off in 2010. Their first nationwide tour in ten years will kick off in St. Louis, MO on 5/15 and run through the summer.

“So much for ‘we quit,’ huh?” quipped Ronnie Dunn. “That horse that we were afraid of riding into the ground apparently didn’t share our sentiment…he gotta fire in his belly raring to go another round or two. I like the ring of it…’Brooks & Dunn ride again!’” 

“The memories of playing live are what have kept the fire burning for us,” shared Kix Brooks. “Performers who have had the kind of nights like we’ve had with our fans, can never really let that go. Live is where we’re most at home, and it’s gonna feel good to be back in the saddle, let’s rodeo!  We’ll see y’all out there on the trail.”

Tickets will be available first as part of the Live Nation Country Megaticket. Check back for additional information.

With 20 No. 1 hits stretching back to 1991, two GRAMMY awards, dozens of ACM and CMA honors and a discography counting more album sales than any duo in history – regardless of genre – Brooks & Dunn's influence on today's country has never been in question. Hits like "Boot Scootin' Boogie," "My Maria" and "Believe" have propelled the duo to more than 30 million albums sold, with the New York Times heralding "together they helped drive the power-country era of the early-to-mid 1990s and continued to benefit from the sea change in the genre they helped initiate right through their most recent albums." Their original "Merle Haggard meets The Rolling Stones" vibe made them progressive stars in their own right. The duo's recently released collaboration project REBOOT debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums. The impressive feat marks the first time the duo has topped the album charts since 2009 while simultaneously earning the duo their 10th Billboard 200 Top 10 album, the most of any country duo or group in the chart's history.  This year the duo will be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in the "Modern Era Artist" category. A Country Music Hall of Fame exhibit on Brooks & Dunn will also open Aug. 9. For more information, visit www.brooks-dunn.com.
