“The
success of this tour is probably the accomplishment we are most proud
of as a band,” said Lady Antebellum’s Charles Kelley. “It started as a
sketch on a paper plate and it ended halfway around the world performing
three nights at one of the most famous venues in the world. To think
that we were able to take country music to all of these new places is
mind-boggling to me. It’s been one long, crazy, unforgettable year for
us.”

“When
the Grammy-winning trio of Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley and Dave
Haywood took the stage, they left no stone unturned…a full sing-along
reached the back of the packed lawn. The band, whose talent runs deep,
has a great chemistry and plays well to an audience. A classic stage
with a U-shaped ramp and a riser stretching into standing-room-only
allowed lots of audience interaction.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
