Ahead off their CMT Music Awards collaboration, Little Big Town and Sugarland have announced the “Take Me Home” Tour. Titled after the song they’re slated to perform on the CMTs — Phil Collins’ 1985 hit from No Jacket Required — the trek will kick off Oct. 24 in Greenville, South Carolina, and conclude Dec. 13 with a show at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. Country trio the Castellows will open all dates.
This isn’t the first time the quartet of Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Jimi Westbrook, and Philip Sweet shared the stage with Sugarland, the reunited duo of Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush. In 2008, Little Big Town, Sugarland, and Jake Owen performed Dream Academy’s 1985 single “Life in a Northern Town” at the CMT Awards, and LBT would join Sugarland on their Incredible Machine Tour a few years later.
The “Take Me Home” Tour also corresponds with Little Big Town’s 25th anniversary as a band. Both LBT and Sugarland teased the tour on social media prior to their CMT Music Awards performance. “I wonder what this means, ultimately” Fairchild said. “Are we just going to sing one song together and it’ll be over?”
Tickets go on sale April 12. The groups’ collab on “Take Me Home” will be released as a single.
