Tim McGraw will pilot his latest studio album, "Southern Voice," on a massive road trip next year, with the country star already lining up more than 50 arena dates to back the set.
The trek will kick off Feb. 11 in Omaha, NE, and will run through mid-summer, closing Aug. 15 in Virginia Beach, VA. The schedule really takes off during summer, when McGraw will play more than 30 shows over a three-month span.
Nashville trio Lady Antebellum will open all shows, with The Lost Trailers adding additional support from February through early April, and Love and Theft taking over as second openers beginning with the April 11 show in Orange Beach, AL. Dates are included below.
"I'm real excited to have this opportunity to hit the road next year with the 'Southern Voice' tour and look forward to playing new songs and old favorites for all my fans," McGraw said in a press statement. Further information on pre-sale tickets and general public on-sale dates can found at the singer's official website as it becomes available.
"Southern Voice," McGraw's 10th collaboration with producer Byron Gallimore, is his first studio effort since 2007's "Let It Go." The new album finds the two-time Grammy-winner tackling heavier themes than usual, according to a recent magazine interview.
"There is a lot of weight to these songs," the singer told Billboard last month. "There's some light stuff, too. That's kind of why we put out [lead single] 'Business Doing Pleasure with You' first.
"The singles that I've put out lately have had a lot of messages, so we thought it would be kind of cool to give them something a little lighter, knowing that when it got time to be heavy that we had plenty of that on the record."
"It's a Business Doing Pleasure With You" peaked at No. 13 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart. The album's title track was released last last month as the second single from the set.
