Just when Brad Paisley 's Bonfires & Amplifiers Tour appeared to be finalized, the country star has added a whole new leg to the trek.
The outing, which kicks off in late April, now has 75 dates on the books, extending through mid-November. The second leg, which kicks off in early September, will hit a host of Canadian cities, as well as US venues from the East Coast to the Midwest. Details are listed below.
Rodney Atkins , who is riding high on his platinum album, "If You're Going Through Hell," will open the second half of the tour, along with 17-year-old rising starlet Taylor Swift .
Swift is also on the bill for the first half of the jaunt, as is Jack Ingram and Kellie Pickler .
Along the way, Paisley will serve as the grand-finale performer of June's CMA Music Festival in Nashville--his only gig this year in Music City.
The concerts will give the singer/songwriter/guitarist a chance to preview new music from his as-yet-untitled forthcoming album, which is due this summer. "Ticks," the first single from the new set, is streaming at Paisley's MySpace page.
His latest record, "Time Well Wasted," scored Paisley the 2006 Country Music Association's Album of the Year award. It is the Grammy-nominated singer's fourth straight platinum album and his second double-platinum, with total sales topping 8 million, according to a press release.
Currently, Paisley is up for the Academy of Country Music's Top Male Vocalist honor.
