Superstar duo Brooks & Dunn said they weren’t about to call it a day as a recording duo without one more chance to party with their fans, and Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn are ready to do it in style with the announcement of dates for their final tour, THE LAST RODEO. A celebration of their 20 great years together, the tour will launch on April 23, 2010, with 47 shows running through August 8, 2010.
Brian O’Connell, President, Nashville Touring, for Live Nation declared, “THE LAST RODEO Tour is going to be a ‘must see’ for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is the amazing energy that Kix and Ronnie create on stage. I look forward to seeing what they have up their sleeves on a nightly basis, and I am confident that they will leave everything they have on the stage one final time in each city. Anyone who has ever seen a Brooks & Dunn show knows that they will be coming full tilt! I do not look at this tour as an ending, rather a celebration of their career by two of the greatest Artists that Country Music has ever known.”
The tour follows the recent release of Brooks & Dunn’s career-spanning double-disc collection, #1s … and then some, which features 30 favorites in all, including an amazing 23 #1 hits. Among the songs on #1s … and then some is the smash single, “Cowgirls Don’t Cry,” which earlier this week earned the duo their 15th career GRAMMY Award nomination.
Brooks & Dunn's THE LAST RODEO Tour will be at the Ford Amphitheatre in Tampa, Florida on Friday June 11, 2010 and at the Cruzan Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach, Florida on Saturday June 12, 2010.
