Brad Paisley on 2013 Country Megaticket in St. Louis

Brad Paisley will once again kick off the Bandana's Bar-B-Q Country Megaticket summer concert series. As in the past several years, Brad Paisley will roll into St. Louis in May, performing at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater on the 9th.

Brad Paisley is currently promoting his upcoming album, Wheelhouse, which is due out on April 9th. The first single from the album, Southern Comfort Zone, has been steadily climbing the Billboard Country Chart for a little over four months. The track currently rounds out the top ten as it vies for a nineteenth #1 hit for Brad Paisley. Brad Paisley will host the ACM Fan Jam in Las Vegas in April before heading to St. Louis for the start of the country megaticket series.

Joining Brad Paisley on tour this year are Lee Brice and Chris Young. Though Lee Brice has been in country music for several years, he has gained more widespread recognition over the past two. Lee Brice's song, Hard to Love, was recently certified Platinum by the RIAA and his follow up song, I Drive Your Truck is cruising up the country charts at full speed.

Chris Young is best known for his string of #1 hits including Gettin' You Home, The Man I Want To Be, Voices, Tomorrow and You. Though there is no new album on the horizon just yet, Chris Young has kept busy performing live and will soon appear on ABC's Nashville.

This year's country megaticket will consist of nine shows, all of which can be accessed through a single ticket. Tickets go on sale January 25th at 10:00 a.m. Central.
