Martina McBride Announces Love Unleashed Tour
Martina McBride will soon hit the touring circuit with her newly revealed Love Unleashed Tour. She will be joined by Atlantic Records/Warner Music Nashville duo High Valley and singer-songwriter Hailey Whitters. The tour will launch Oct. 14 in Poplar Bluff, Missouri and will wrap on Dee. 9 in Clearwater, Florida.
McBride will also offer VIP experiences, which will include a meet & greet, Q&A session, an autographed gift, premium seating and more.
“With so much tragedy and uncertainty in the world, our family is watching less news and spending more time listening to music, sharing stories over dinner, and loving each other,” says McBride. “I want this concert to be a place where people can share the common experience of music and how it can work its magic, as only music can. A place where we can come together and show our love for each other and head back out into the world a little stronger for having been there.”
