Brad Paisley To Embark On H20 World Tour

Brad Paisley announced the first leg of his highly anticipated 2010 tour, H2O World Tour presented by Chevy, today on World Water Day” a day to draw attention to the 1 out of 5 people around the world who lack access to safe drinking water. Paisley is proud to partner with Hope Through Healing Hands’ campaign for clean, safe water. With donations made to the campaign at each tour stop HTHH will be digging wells and purifying water in America and around the world.

H2O World Tour will hit more than 75 cities in the United States, Canada and Europe over the next 12 months. Chevy is title sponsor for the tour. Special guests will be Darius Rucker and Justin Moore. Appropriately, Paisley’s current single is “Water,” from his American Saturday Night album.

H2O World Tour will include a “WaterWorldPlaza,” sponsored by Sea Ray Boats and Skinny Water, and will turn every city into a water festival. Focal point in the Plaza area will be the “Water World Plaza Stage” featuring emerging new stars Easton Corbin, Steel Magnolia and Josh Thompson. The tour extravaganza will open each day at 4:00pm with music starting at 5:00pm. In addition to the music stage there will be multiple water-themed activities” including a Chevy H2O FLW fishing simulator, dunking booth, Hope Through Healing Hands’ campaign booth, and more.

Chevy will be providing a Corvette driving simulator for concert goers to test the latest Corvette ZR1 series as well as their individual driving and racing skills against Paisley himself. “If they can beat me, they can meet me,” laughs Paisley.

“I’ve never been this excited about a tour,” continues Paisley. “After one of the worst winters I can remember, we’re going to make up for it this summer.”

The tour will kick off May 21-22 in Virginia Beach, VA and Washington, DC. Live Nation is the national tour promoter. Tickets went on sale March 12 at LiveNation.com.
