The biggest country music tour of the past fifteen years just got bigger—adding a third Brisbane concert for Saturday March 12, on-sale this Thursday October 14.
Touring Australia for the first time and proving undoubtedly he’s one of the greats, country music legend, Alan Jackson, sold-out his four east coast concerts this morning as fast as a speeding freight train.
Concerts in Melbourne and Sydney and two in Brisbane were all but gone in the three price categories – platinum, gold and silver – by 10am eastern standard time.
The phenomenal demand, obvious within minutes of general sales opening at 9am, prompted promoters’ Chugg Entertainment and Rob Potts Entertainment Edge to consider additional shows.
Potts himself, on-ground in Nashville with Jackson’s U.S management, watched speeding reports as fans burned through ticket sales. Negotiations were immediate and it was a quick decision to add a third Brisbane concert.
When reached on his boat about adding another date to the Australian tour, Jackson said, “I‘m a Southern man, and that‘s about as far South as we can go. Let‘s do it!”
“We’re over the moon,” said Potts.
“Alan and his team over here are excited too. And humbled. I guess no matter how famous you are it’s hard to imagine just how big you are in a country so far away.
“We told Alan Aussie fans would go crazy for him, now he knows it’s true.”
Jackson’s team agreed to extend the tour and a third concert at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre has been confirmed for Saturday March 12. Tickets go on-sale from www.ticketek.com.au or 132 849 at 9am eastern standard time this Thursday October 14.
Alan Jackson will tour Australia with the hottest name in country right now, the CMA female record-breaking nominated Miranda Lambert, and Australia’s hottest up-and-comer Jasmine Rae.
“This is an amazing line-up, certainly the biggest-name country music tour we’ve done,” said Potts.
In Australia, Chugg Entertainment and Rob Potts Entertainment Edge have joined forces on the biggest-name country music tours of the last few years including Brooks & Dunn, Tim McGraw and now Alan Jackson with Miranda Lambert and Jasmine Rae.
“They just keep getting bigger,” said Executive Chairman of Chugg Entertainment, Michael Chugg.
“Working with Rob Potts and getting the names, the big ones the fans want to see, has been a revelation.
“The fans have turned out in amazing numbers, made these tours hugely successful and paved the way for us to bring bigger and bigger names like Alan.”
No doubt about it people, today country music is the Promised Land and Alan Jackson its king!
