George Strait Rides Away

George Strait announces his swan song tour. “This is going to be a very special, emotional tour for me,” the country superstar said. “Everywhere we’re going holds fond memories and I’m looking forward to paying my respects.”

Announced at a press conference at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, “The Cowboy Rides Away Tour” is framed as a final opportunity to experience Strait’s live show. However, while Strait is saying it will be his last tour outing, it was also announced that he would continue recording and would perform “select dates around the country.”

Martina McBride appears on all dates.

George Strait fan club members get first dibs via presales beginning Oct. 9 at 10 a.m. local time. General onsales begin Oct. 12. Visit GeorgeStrait.com for more information.
