In a summer of shattering his own attendance records, Kenny Chesney’s 2018 Trip Around the Sun Tour is the only country tour to land on Pollstar’s midyear survey of the year’s biggest tours. With ticket prices almost half to a third less than the other artists above him, the man the LA Times’ hails as “The People’s Superstar” joins Taylor Swift, the Rolling Stones, Jay-Z and Beyoncé, Bruno Mars, U2, Justin Timberlake, the Eagles and Pink in the Top 10.

Inspired by the generosity of his fans, country star Michael Ray knew he wanted to celebrate the release of his sophomore album, Amos by giving back.

Fresh from breaking the attendance record he set in 2015 this weekend at Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium with 57,528 members of the No Shoes Nation coming out for his Trip Around the Sun Tour, Kenny Chesney sets another record. As “Get Along” tops Billboard’s Country Airplay chart – his 30th career No. 1, the songwriter/superstar from East Tennessee becomes the artist with the most No. 1 hits in the history of the chart.

South Carolina rock band NEEDTOBREATHE (brothers Bear and Bo Rinehart, Seth Bolt and Josh Lovelace) continues to push boundaries when it comes to putting out new music for their fans. The band’s latest musical offering, Forever On Your Side (Niles City Sound Sessions) released on Atlantic Records, is the product of a ten day recording session at Niles City Sound in Fort Worth, Texas (the famed location where Leon Bridges’ GRAMMY®-nominated debut Coming Home was recorded).
