Cole Swindell To Launch ‘Reason To Drink’ Headlining Tour In 2018

Cole Swindell has no plans to slow down after he wraps his fourth annual Down Home Tour in January. Instead, Swindell will embark on his first career headlining tour, the Reason To Drink Tour, on Feb. 15 in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Joining Swindell for each of the dates on his first headlining tour are two of country music’s biggest rising stars Chris Janson and Lauren Alaina.

Pre-sale tickets for the Reason To Drink Tour launch Nov. 28 and will go on sale to the public in most markets on Dec. 1. The tour is promoted by Live Nation.

Since he launched his career in 2014, the Warner Bros./Warner Music Nashville recording artist previously opened tours for Luke Bryan, Kenny Chesney, Jason Aldean, Florida Georgia Line and Dierks Bentley.

“I am excited to be able to take everything I have learned while on the road the last four years watching all that Luke, Jason, Kenny, Dierks, Tyler and Brian did as headliners.” said Swindell. “Everything from how they treat their fans, their high-energy performances, to how they treated EVERYONE on the tour. They were great examples of how much work it takes for a successful tour. I can honestly say I’ve learned from the very best in the business. I’m ready to get out there with two of my friends, Chris Janson and Lauren Alaina. Start to finish, it’s going to be an amazing show and we’re ready to share it with you all.”
