Carrie Underwood is coming to Cry Pretty in JAX

Receiving the most awards of all time, the 29th CMA Music award winner is now officially on tour.  Seven-time Grammy winner and Pollstar’s three-time top female country touring artist, Carrie Underwood, has launched a new arena tour, The Cry Pretty Tour 360.  Sponsored by CALIA, the new tour will kick off on May 1 in Greensboro, NC, and will play 55 arenas across the U.S. and Canada, including the only Florida stop in Jacksonville on October 20, 2019.  The tour is promoted by AEG Presents.  Her new show will be performed in the round featuring an all-female bill.  She will be joined on tour by special guests Maddie & Tae and Runaway June.

Tickets for the JAX concert are available at the Tom Bush Family of Dealerships Box Office at Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena and through Ticketmaster.  For more information about a location near you, info about the Cry Pretty album/ticket bundle, go to her official website.

Underwood released her eagerly-anticipated new album, Cry Pretty, on September 14, 2018.  Cry Pretty is her first studio album on Capitol Records Nashville and marks the first time she has co-produced her own album.  The lead single and title track, “Cry Pretty” debuted as the #1 song in the U.S. all-genres.  The song also topped download charts in 38 countries around the world and amassed over 3.5 billion social impressions across 66 countries during its week of launch in April, which was culminated with a show-stopping performance on the “2018 ACM Awards” telecast.  Carrie co-wrote the powerful single with Hillary Lindsey, Lori McKenna, and Liz Rose (aka The Love Junkies) and co-produced Cry Pretty with fellow writer/producer David Garcia.

Following her successful “The Storyteller Tour – Stories in the Round,” the new production will feature a brand-new stage in the middle of the arena floor, creating a unique 360-degree setting to allow fans on all sides of the arena an intimate view of the concert.  Barry Lather (Rihanna, Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson) is the tour’s Creative Director, and Nick Whitehouse/Fireplay (Justin Timberlake, Beyonce) is Production Designer.

“I love performing in the round,” says Underwood.  “It’s so much fun for me and the band to play in every direction and creates a much more intimate and immersive experience for the audience, even in a larger arena setting.  It’s been exciting to introduce audiences to Cry Pretty and I can’t wait to bring the new album to life on this tour, along with all of the songs we love to play live.  I’m thrilled to be going out with an amazing line-up – Maddie & Tae and Runaway June are incredible artists that are going to bring even more electricity to our shows.”
