A longtime country favorite is coming back in a big way this summer, as Brad Paisley announces a return to international touring.

Plotting the World Tour 2022, Paisley will embark on a trek that includes dates all across North America, plus his ninth European run and a first-ever series of dates in Australia. The plans represent Paisley’s first overseas shows since 2019, before the pandemic struck.

Kicking off May 27 at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conneticut, Paisley’s WOrld Tour 2022 will feature more than 30 stops with opening acts like Tracy Lawrence, Scotty McCreery, Morgan Evans, Tenille Townes, Caylee Hammack and others, ending with his Australian debut in the fall.

Tickets for select dates on sale April 1, while others will be available April 8, and a portion of each one sold will go to The Store, a nonprofit free-referral based grocery store which aims to empower low-income individuals and families in the Nashville area, co-founded by the country star and his wife, Kimberly Williams-Paisley. The Store is currently serving 450 families a month.

Earlier this year Paisley notched his 25th Number One with “Freedom Was A Highway” (with Jimmie Allen), and has already followed up with the Nashville love letter, “City of Music” — although he hasn’t released an album since 2017’s Love and War.

Paisley played more than 30 shows across the U.S. in 2021 as well, including his headlining spot on Nashville’s Fourth of July concert — ‘Music City’s Let Freedom Sing!’ — which broke attendance records with 350,000 people gathered downtown.
