Lady Antebellum October 30, 2010

After selling out headlining concerts in New York, Los Angeles and Nashville, ACM and CMA Vocal Group of the Year Lady Antebellum announced today their first-ever headlining tour with special guest MCA recording artist David Nail. The Need You Now 2010 Tour is sponsored by Dr Pepper and kicks off on Sept. 20 with stops in 35 cities across the country through Nov. Cities and dates will be announced by market in the coming weeks with the first one announcing on Mon., May 24.

"I feel like we were just writing songs for our very first show at this small club in Nashville," said Hillary Scott. "I can remember being so nervous to perform in front of just a handful of people that night and to think now we're beginning to headline our very own tour is unbelievable. We have our fans to thank for following us every step of the way!"
"In only a few short years, country trio Lady Antebellum has risen from obscurity to superstardom…the group is attracting the sort of rabid fandom that clearly signals they're no flash in the pan," raves the Hollywood Reporter.

Lady Antebellum first took country music by storm in 2008 with the release of their self-titled PLATINUM debut album, which generated the hits "Love Don't Live Here," "Lookin' For A Good Time" and their No. one smash "I Run To You." Their DOUBLE PLATINUM sophomore album NEED YOU NOW, debuted at No. one on Billboard's Top 200 chart and has since maintained the top spot on the Billboard Country chart for an astonishing 14 weeks. The title track and multi-week No. one song "Need You Now" has dominated the Country, Top 40, AC and Hot AC charts breaking records as a country crossover hit. Following on the heels of three consecutive No. one songs in just eight months for a total of eight weeks at the summit, Lady A's next single is "Our Kind Of Love."

Missouri native David Nail's debut record I'm About To Come Alive was released on MCA Nashville August '09. Single "Red Light" peaked at #6, holds the record for the longest charted single in Mediabase history at 42 weeks and also just earned an Academy of Country Music Award nomination for "Single of the Year." People magazine boasts Nail as "One of Nashville's Hottest New Stars" and praises the album saying it's "a rewarding set that showcases his soulful, nuanced vocals" and awarded it three out of four stars.
