Country super-group Little Big Town has announced plans to hit the road for “The Tornado Tour” – which kicks off January 31, 2013 in Murray, KY.
 
Backed by the success of their hit album ‘Tornado,’  Little Big Town (consisting of members Karen Fairchild, Jimi Westbrook, Phillip Sweet and Kimberly Schlapman) will tour with special guests Kacey Musgraves and David Nail (in select cities) and will hit more than 25 cities nationwide in some of the most beautiful theaters the US and Canada have to offer.
 
In a press release,  Schlapman stated: “We've been looking forward to announcing this tour for so long and can’t wait to hit the road next year. It's going to be so much fun to share more music from this record with our fans and we feel very honored to have Kacey and David opening for us. They're incredible artists. This new album means so much to us and to be able to showcase all of these songs is a dream come true.”
 
CMT will have an exclusive presale for “The Tornado Tour” beginning at 11am ET today. Visit CMT’s Facebook page for the exclusive presale code to get tickets. The network exclusively premiered Little Big Town’s music video for their latest single “Tornado” this morning at 6am ET and will feature it every hour throughout music hours today.
