Direct from Music City USA, one of the biggest bands in country music history and the hottest new group in Nashville are coming to Australia for the first time ever for a tour this March – Rascal Flatts and The Band Perry.

Rascal Flatts is one of the most successful groups in country music history, with over 21 million album sales, 25 million digital downloads, and 14 US #1 singles over the course of their 13-year career, including “Bless The Broken Road”, “Fast Cars and Freedom”, “What Hurts the Most”, “Life is a Highway” and “Banjo”.

With over 40 awards, Rascal Flatts is celebrated by their millions of fans globally for their distinctive, knockout harmonies, high energy live performances and rich catalogue of songs that is equal parts party anthems and soaring ballads. This will be the first time the six-time CMA Vocal Group of the Year has performed in Australia.

The spotlight has been shining on sibling trio, The Band Perry, since the release of their self-titled debut album in 2010, yielding 5 hit singles, including the 4 x platinum Grammy nominated #1 smash, “If I Die Young”, (written by lead singer, Kimberly Perry). As reigning winners of the CMA “New Artist of the Year” award, their hip, contemporary sound combines elements of country, folk, 60s pop and classic rock, making their music as exciting and distinctive as their wonderfully blended three-part harmonies.

The two mega-selling groups will perform two special theatre shows for their Australian fans – Wednesday 13 March at Brisbane Convention Centre and Friday 15 March at the Palais Theatre, Melbourne. They will then journey up to the Hunter Valley to play the final day of the CMC Rocks the Hunter 2013 festival at the Hope Estate, on Sunday 17 March.

“We’re thrilled to bring two of the hottest acts in music down under for the first time” said promoter Michael Chugg. “Rascal Flatts have a reputation for some of the most exciting live shows in the business and the fans have been clamouring to see them in Australia for years”.

Tickets for the Brisbane and Melbourne shows on sale Wednesday 13 February, 9am (LOCAL TIME).
