Lady Antebellum

Multi-platinum group Lady Antebellum announced that their OWN THE NIGHT 2012 WORLD TOUR will roll into Seattle at KeyArena on March 20, 2012. The tour, sponsored by GAC, will feature Darius Rucker and special guest Thompson Square. Tickets go on sale on Friday, November 18 at 10 am.

“We can’t wait for 2012 and our first big headlining tour in arenas,” said Hillary Scott. “We hope to create a once-in-a-lifetime concert experience and make some really special memories with our fans.”

The trio’s live show has earned glowing reviews from critics across the country.

“Lady A brought a sold-out audience to its feet and kept them there for the duration.” - Chicago Tribune

“And Lady A’s three core members — along with a dynamite five-piece band, squeezed every ounce of hand-clapping, chorus-singing energy out of the crowd.” - Seattle Times

“They’re personable, energetic, and best of all, they can sing.” - Dallas Morning News

Lady A’s record breaking third disc Own The Night debuted at the number one position on Billboard’s Top 200 chart last month, becoming the biggest first week debut by a country artist this year. Its current hit, “We Owned The Night,” is the album’s second single and follows their fifth career No. one hit “Just A Kiss.” The trio’s previous two albums have sold over five million albums across the globe, spawned four No. one hits, scored six GRAMMYs and over a dozen other award show trophies. The group just won Vocal Group of the Year at the 45th Annual CMA Awards and is nominated for Favorite Country Band, Duo or Group at the 2011 American Music Awards later this month. They will also be honored as one of CMT’s five Artists of the Year in December.

Darius Rucker has again topped the charts with the release of his sophomore country album, Charleston, SC 1966, on Capitol Records Nashville. Since its October 2010 debut, Charleston, SC 1966 has garnered two number one hits with “Come Back Song” and “This.” The third single, “I Got Nothin’,” is on country radio now and working its way up the charts. His chart-topping 2008 debut release, Learn To Live, produced three consecutive number one singles and Top Five smash, “History In The Making.” In addition to country music, Darius offers much of his time to charitable efforts benefiting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Hootie & The Blowfish Foundation, and many others.

One of Country music’s biggest breakout acts of 2011, Stoney Creek Records’ Thompson Square, has earned 12 major awards show nominations in 2011. The husband-and-wife’s infectious hit single, “Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not,” reached the coveted number one spot on both Country radio charts and has sold 1.5 million downloads to date. The single is also the most played song of the year on Country radio (Mediabase). Thompson Square’s current single, “I Got You,” is cresting Top 10 on both the Billboard and Mediabase Country radio charts and is a number one hit on the Music Row chart.
