As country stars begin rolling out plans for their long-awaited return to the road, Thomas Rhett is joining in. The red-hot star has revealed plans for his 2021 The Center Point Road Tour, kicking off in mid-August.

Starting August 13 with back-to-back nights in Orange Beach, Alabama, the amphitheater tour will feature nine headlining shows rescheduled from 2020 (postponed due to COVID-19), plus 14 new shows for a total of 25 so far. TR will drop into markets from West Palm Beach, Florida, to Bangor, Maine, and Rogers, Arkansas, and fans in attendance will enjoy either Rhett Akins and Gabby Barrett or Cole Swindell and Conner Smith as opening acts.

Since this is a partially rescheduled run, any tickets previously purchased will be honored for the rescheduled dates (listed below), while tickets for new shows go on-sale on to the public April 23 at 10 a.m. local time via LiveNation. And for Thomas Rhett, who never even got to celebrate his 2020 ACM Entertainer of the Year crown with fans, this moment has been a long time coming.

“I can’t even put into words what getting back out on the road means to me, my band and crew,” he says. “We’ve dreamt about this moment for a long time and I feel more rejuvenated and excited than ever to get back out there as safely as possible to connect in-person over live music again, especially with so much new material to share. There’s no feeling in the world like it — see y’all out there!” 

TR’s Country Again: Side A album is set to arrive on April 30, and he’s hoping to defend his ACM ETOY title this Sunday (April 18). Here are the dates and cities for his 2021 The Center Point Road Tour:
