The iconic mother/daughter country music duo The Judds have announced plans for the 18-city “The Judds: The Last Encore” tour and gave more than 10,000 fans in downtown Nashville a taste of what to expect as they launched this year’s 2010 CMA Music Festival. 

“The Judds: The Last Encore” is described as the final tour of Wynonna and Naomi Judd and is the first time they have toured together in more than 10 years - since their 2000 “Power To Change” tour.
 
The tour will kick off on November 26th, the day after Thanksgiving, in Green Bay, Wisconsin and will continue on to their home state of Kentucky with a play in Louisville alongside dates in Salt Lake City, UT, Los Angeles, CA and Las Vegas, NV. 

The duo will finish-up their final tour in Phoenix, AZ - where their 2000 “Power To Change” tour began.

The tour is expected to feature new Judds and Wynonna music from the upcoming album and fan favorites from The Judds and Wynonna. The duo is also expected to include several classic Christmas songs into the set list as a way of celebrating the holiday season.
 
In a press release, Naomi Judd stated: “There is nothing like music and laughter to connect people. How I’ve missed that encounter with the very ones who’ve allowed us that awesome privilege!  I’m counting the days till I can be back on my bus, visiting their towns.”
