Carly Pearce Sets World Tour: See the Dates
Carly Pearce is headed out on a tour that will see the country star on her largest international outing yet.
Pearce, who is booked by CAA, will start in Windsor, Ontario, on Oct. 3 and wind through North America, Europe and the U.K. before returning to the U.S. to end the tour in Nashville on May 16 more than 40 dates later. Openers on the Conundrum Wines-sponsored tour will be Karley Scott Collins, Matt Lange, Wade Bowen and Carter Faith on selected dates.
Pearce will hit a number of markets in Europe that she has never played before, including Stockholm, Oslo, Copenhagen, Munich and the U.K.’s Bristol and Birmingham. Additionally, a number of dates that have already gone on sale are upgrading because of ticket demand. Pearce has added a second night at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire after the first night sold out, while her shows in both Glasgow and Belfast have been moved to bigger venues to accommodate demand.
“Fans in the U.K. and Europe have always been such big supporters of artists, not just the songs on the radio,” Pearce tells Billboard. “They have a deep appreciation for songwriting and the true special moments that make me ‘me.’ I’m excited to see my fan growth and can’t wait to have what I know will be an unforgettable tour.”
Pearce will be playing all her hits, as well as dipping into her fourth full-length album, hummingbird, which came out earlier this summer. “I’m just so excited to bring this album to life,” she says. “These songs have been such a big part of my healing process and they deserve to be celebrated.”
The album’s latest single, “Truck on Fire,” debuted at No. 55 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart dated Aug. 10. The album’s first single, the moving ballad “We Don’t Fight Anymore,” featuring Chris Stapleton, reached No. 9 on Country Airplay, making it her fifth top 10 hit, including her three No. 1s: “Every Little Thing,” “I Hope You’re Happy Now,” featuring Lee Brice, and “Never Wanted to Be That Girl,” featuring Ashley McBryde.
Tickets for the North American dates go on sale Aug. 6 through the Official Carly Pearce Fan Club presale, with general tickets available starting Aug. 9.
