Carrie Underwood fall tour dates

The excitement and overwhelming demand from fans for tickets to Carrie Underwood’s headline tour, the “Carnival Ride Tour,” is no surprise. As one of the hottest country tours on the road this year, additional dates have been added through December. Shows beginning September 23 will feature special guest Little Big Town.

Nearly 600,000 fans have been a part of the “Carnival Ride Tour” audience to date. Underwood will hit 51 cities in the U.S. and Canada this fall, in addition to her wrapping the current leg with opening act Jason Michael Carroll ending June 24. She will also play a select number of fairs and festivals this summer.

Underwood was recently inducted as the newest member of the Grand Ole Opry and named Top Female Vocalist at the 2008 Academy of Country Music Awards for the second consecutive time. Her current album CARNIVAL RIDE, which contains the #1 co-written smash hits “So Small,” “All-American Girl” and “Last Name,” was certified double-platinum within 2 months of its release. Her debut album, SOME HEARTS, was certified 7x-Platinum, becoming the best-selling solo female country debut in RIAA history and surpasses all other releases as the all-time U.S. top-selling album by any American Idol contestant.

Little Big Town released platinum-selling record, THE ROAD TO HERE, in 2005 which included gold digital certified, "Boondocks." In 2006, the foursome landed two Grammy nominations including Best Country Album for THE ROAD TO HERE and Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group for “Boondocks.” Billboard Magazine also named them Independent Artist of the Year and named THE ROAD TO HERE Independent Album of the Year. In 2007, they were awarded Academy of Country Music’s Top New Vocal Group. The band’s sophomore CD, critically-acclaimed A PLACE TO LAND, will be re-released on Capitol Nashville October 14th.
