Tim McGraw, Brantley Gilbert on 2013 Country Megaticket in St. Louis

On May 23, 2013 the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater may just rock right off its foundation when Tim McGraw and Brantley Gilbert tear up the town. The two country music stars will perform as part of the Bandana's Bar-B-Q Country Megaticket.

The summer concert series will kick off with Brad Paisley and guests on May 9th. Then, Tim McGraw and Brantley Gilbert take the stage on May 23rd.

Tim McGraw is celebrating the upcoming release of his first album with Big Machine Records, titled Two Lanes of Freedom. The new album is a welcome fresh start after a lengthy court battle with his former record label. Two Lanes of Freedom has already produced two top 20 hits, Truck Yeah and One of Those Nights in advance of its February 5th release date.

Brantley Gilbert has been on a fast track since his 2011 single Country Must Be Country Wide got the attention of country music fans everywhere and went all the way to #1 on the Billboard County Chart. Brantley Gilbert followed up that #1 with another when You Don't Know Her Like I Do received the same accolades. Brantley Gilbert's latest single, More Than Miles, is just beginning to rise through the ranks, but promises to be another fan favorite.

The Bandana's Bar-B-Q Country Megaticket will go on sale January 25th at 10:00 a.m. Central time. Fans who purchase the country megaticket will be admitted to a total of nine summer concerts. In addition to Tim McGraw, the series features Luke Bryan, Kenny Chesney, Blake Shelton and many others.
