LITTLE BIG TOWN ANNOUNCES TAKE ME HOME TOUR
KEYBANK CENTER – BUFFALO, NY
NOVEMBER 2, 2024
GENERAL ON SALE BEGINS ON FRIDAY, APRIL 12 AT 10 A.M.
AT LITTLEBIGTOWN.COM

Celebrating their 25th anniversary as one of country music’s most successful groups, multi-platinum GRAMMY® Award-winning four-piece Little Big Town – comprised of Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Phillip Sweet, and Jimi Westbrook – joined forces with longtime friends and collaborators Sugarland at last night’s CMT Music Awards to deliver a stunning world premiere performance of their new song “Take Me Home” – listen HERE and watch HERE. The two powerhouse groups are also set to embark on a U.S. tour titled Take Me Home Tour. See more details below.

Little Big Town and Sugarland’s rendition of “Take Me Home,” originally written and released by Phil Collins in 1985, gives the song a fresh new meaning but leaves us with a familiar longing. The performance served as a monumental homecoming for the two country music giants as they last shared the CMTMA stage in 2008 for a rousing rendition of “Life In A Northern Town.”

“Last night felt like a real homecoming for us and a full circle moment. When we toured with Sugarland last, we would all be backstage harmonizing different cover songs to try and surprise the audience every night. There’s something about this song that feels so nostalgic of that time. It really is like coming home,” says Little Big Town. “The Take Me Home tour feels like a celebration of being a band for 25 years and we’re so excited to throw this party with our great friends Sugarland. We’ll both be playing all our biggest hits and then some. Can’t wait to see everyone!”

Fans will hear the newly released single live this fall on the Take Me Home US tour, produced by Live Nation and Sandbox Live, with special guest Sugarland and support from The Castellows. Various ticket pre-sales for the Take Me Home Tour will run throughout the week, ahead of the general sale beginning on Friday, April 12 at 10 a.m. at www.littlebigtown.com. The fall trek includes a stop at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, NY, on November 2, 2024. The closing night is a special Nashville homecoming for the band as it’ll be their first show in town since 2017’s iconic sold-out 10-night residency at Ryman Auditorium.

The tour will also offer a variety of different VIP packages and experiences for fans to take their concert experience to the next level. Packages vary but include premium tickets, interactive Little Big Town coffee book, limited edition and autographed tour poster & more. VIP package contents vary based on offer selected. For more information, visit vipnation.com

Twenty-five never looked so good! Much more to come from Little Big Town this year – stay tuned!

About Little Big Town:
Little Big Town was formed in 1998 in Homewood, Alabama by members Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Phillip Sweet, and Jimi Westbrook.
The group’s contributions include:

Induction into the Grand Ole Opry in 2014
The band’s second album, 2005’s The Road To Here, went platinum, with “Bring It On Home” their first Top 5 entry on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart.
The band earned their first GRAMMY win for Best Country Duo/Group Performance for “Pontoon” from their 2012 album Tornado. They made their GRAMMY stage debut performing “Girl Crush” at the 58th GRAMMYS in 2016.
Schlapman founded The Dogwood Project charity to send a floral arrangement or Dogwood tree to children struggling through the grieving process of losing a parent.

About Sugarland:
Sugarland is an Atlanta, Georgia country music duo composed of singer-songwriters Jennifer Nettles (lead vocals) and Kristian Bush (background vocals, lead vocals, mandolin, acoustic guitar). Sugarland was founded in 2003 by Bush and Kristen Hall (acoustic guitar, background vocals), and became a trio when Jennifer Nettles was brought in as lead singer. Sugarland was signed to Mercury Nashville Records in 2004.
About The Castellows:
Neo-Traditional Country music trio, The Castellows, are bringing a literal meaning to the phrase, “family tradition.” The band comprised of sisters Ellie (lead guitar), Powell (banjo) and Lily (vocals), hail from small rural Georgetown, Georgia, but now call Nashville home. The Castellows’ sound is traditional, yet modern. Authentic, yet harnessed. The common thread among the trio, other than their DNA, is their masterful three-part harmonies which blend together to create one singular, almost angelic, voice. The Castellows’ craft as songwriters is as robust as their voices, which is evident across the trio’s debut EP, A Little Goes A Long Way, releasing February 9, 2024. The band wrote/co-wrote six of the seven songs that make up the project, with the promise of much more music to come. The band began turning heads of music industry insiders in January 2023. When spring arrived, The Castellows had signed a record deal with Warner Music Nashville & Warner Records, collectively. Wasting no time on pleasantries, The Castellows immediately got to work writing, recording, and performing live. Tapping veteran producer Trina Shoemaker (Sheryl Crow, Nanci Griffith, Queens of the Stone Age), the first fruits of labor to be harvested from 2023 is the debut A Little Goes A Long Way. One year later, the three sisters from a cattle farm in Georgia are still turning heads, landing on multiple 2024 ‘Watch Lists’ including CMT ‘Listen Up,’ Pandora, Country Now, and Nashville Lifestyles’ ‘Five Groups You Need To Know,” as well as announcing a 21-city tour that will begin eight days after the release of A Little Goes A Long Way….and they’re just getting started.

Dizgo w/ Grub & Solar Circuit
Dizgo
“DIZGO has one of the most operative names in the jamband scene, evoking a transcendence of genre: a dizzier disco, filled with a hodge-podge of genres, styles, and technical influences while still, at it’s core, a dance party.” -> Space Tapes
Dizgo redefines the live experience by blending jamtronica with funk, deep-groove soul, and psychedelic rock, taking the audience on a musical journey that includes intricate compositions and extended improvisation. The result is something both danceable and introspective: soulful vocals ,interweaving analog synths, and shredding guitar all which join forces under the banner of Dizgo.
The band has played stand out performances at festivals such as Peach MusicFestival, Summer Camp Music Festival, Resonance Music Festival, Werk Out MusicFestival, Sonic Bloom Music Festival, and much more and has supported acts suchas Goose, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Papadosio, The Main Squeeze, Aqueous, Lespecial, and more.
