Josh Abbott Band kicks off their biggest tour to date this summer, performing in 24 states where they'll headline their own bills, support artists including Lee Brice, Sara Evans and Toby Keith and perform in 11 markets they've never before played in. Pairing "deft melodies (Billboard)" with raucous fiddle and banjo, the band's infectious live show is known for driving audiences into an impassioned sing along and frenzied two-step.

2015 opened with the band selling out the world's largest honky tonk, Billy Bob's in Fort Worth, TX and has seen the band perform 39 shows to date, including the ACM Awards' Party for a Cause in Dallas. The tour includes 35 headlining shows and stops at the third annual Taste of Country Festival, Country 102.5's Street Party in Boston and a return performance at the world's largest truck stop on Iowa 80.

TThe band will be performing a selection of songs off their past three releases, including 2014's 'Tuesday Night' (a #12 Billboard Country Album Chart debut) and critically-acclaimed EP 'She's Like Texas', with single "Oh, Tonight" (feat. Kacey Musgraves) climbing to #44 on Billboard's Hot 200 Chart and currently featured in the film 'The Longest Ride'.
