Presented by Live Nation and launching May 3 in Vancouver, British Columbia, the newly announced shows go all the way to the fall when Bryan plays Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl in late October.  Stops along the way include just about every amphitheatre capable of handling large audiences, such as the DTE Music Energy Theatre located north of Detroit in Clarkston, Mich.; the Walnut Creek Amphitheatre in Raleigh, N.C.; Blossom Music Center near Cleveland in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio; and the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion near Houston in Woodlands, Texas.

Bryan talked about the stadium dates during a media event held at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena.  Look for Bryan to play Heinz Field in Pittsburgh June 21, Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia Aug. 15, and Chicago’s Soldier Field Aug. 31.  Dierks Bentley will guest on the Pittsburgh and Chicago shows.  Cole Swindell and Lee Brice appear on all “That’s My Kind Of Night Tour” dates.
