Toby Keith's schedule edges into November
Toby Keith has been touring since July, but the popular country singer is still adding shows to his itinerary.
The latest round of confirmed dates takes Keith's outing well into November, and includes stops in New Orleans, Denver and Salt Lake City, among other cities. Details are in the itinerary below.
Tracy Lawrence opens most shows through Oct. 17, after which Terri Clark takes over the opening slot.
According to organizers, Keith's trek has been drawing large crowds: 40,000-plus fans in the Boston area; 21,000 in Pittsburgh; 18,700 in Philadelphia; and 20,000 in Washington, DC.
Keith's next album, "Greatest Hits 2," is due in stores Nov. 9. Its first single, "Stays in Mexico," is already getting airplay on country radio stations. The singer's latest all-new album is 2002's "Shock 'N Y'all," which is certified triple-platinum in the U.S.
In related news, Keith recently signed a deal with Harrah's Las Vegas to launch a new country-themed bar and restaurant, scheduled to open its doors next summer. According to a press release, "the restaurant will offer American casual food, and the bar/lounge will feature Keith music and videos, a special recording studio, private dining area, stage and dance floor for live country acts, and surprise personal appearances by Keith himself."
