Nashville, TN – Jan. 20, 2015 – Multi-Platinum selling group Rascal Flatts revealed plans today for their headlining RIOT TOUR 2015.

Before their
headlining tour kicks off this summer, Rascal Flatts will start the
first-ever country residency at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel &
Casino in Las Vegas, from Feb. 25 to March 14 with The Voice winner Craig Wayne Boyd tapped for the opening slot. Tickets for Rascal Flatts Vegas Riot! are on sale now.
“2014 was such a
great year for us on the radio and on tour,” said Jay DeMarcus. “We had
a few weeks off at the holidays, and now we’re getting ready for the
first-ever country residency at The Joint at the Hard Rock in Vegas.
Those shows are going to be the ultimate way to kick off our 2015 tour,
where we can try new things and pretty much do whatever the hell we
want. We’re having a blast with it, and we’ll be counting the days til
the buses pull back out of Nashville for opening night.”
With countless
sold-out shows under their belts, Rascal Flatts’ live show has been
heralded as keeping “crowds on their feet, dancing and especially
singing along,” (Cleveland Plain Dealer), “brilliant” (Dallas Morning News) and “high energy” (St. Louis Post Dispatch). Their current Big Machine Records single “Riot,” from which the tour name is lifted, is impacting radio now.
