“FASTEST SELLING COUNTRY MUSIC TOUR IN AUSTRALIAN MUSIC HISTORY”
Tickets for Country music artist Alan Jackson’s first ever tour in
Australia - scheduled for March of 2011 - sold out within hours of being
put on sale Friday morning, Oct. 8 (AEST and AEDT). Ticket sales for
the four announced dates - Melbourne (March 4), Sydney (March 7) and
Brisbane (March 10 and 11) - sold so quickly that the tour was extended;
an additional concert, a third show in Brisbane, has been added to the
schedule. Tickets for the newly announced March 12th show in Brisbane go
on sale October 14.
“We’re looking at what may be the fastest selling country show or
tour in Australian country music history,” said Rob Potts, CEO of Rob
Potts Entertainment Edge and co-promoter of the tour. “The excitement
level for Alan Jackson’s first tour in our country just can’t be
measured. The fans can't believe he's really coming - and ticket sales
have proven just how excited they are.”
When reached on his boat about adding another date to the Australian
tour, Jackson laughed, “I‘m a Southern man, and that‘s about as far
South as we can go – let’s go do it!”"I've always heard that it's just beautiful down there, and everybody I know that's been there has loved it,” added Jackson. “I’ve heard that the Australian people are really warm and welcome people from the U.S. so generously. That's all I've ever heard - just great things. Great things."
Alan Jackson is one of the most successful and respected songwriter/performers in music, inspiring audiences across several generations with his modern approach to classic country. A 16-time CMA and 16-time ACM Award winner and a GRAMMY winning songwriter/performer, Jackson’s career to date has included sales of more than 50 million albums and 34 #1 hit singles, including ‘Drive’, ‘Chattahoochee’ and ‘Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning)’. On November 22, Jackson will release 34 Number Ones, a career-spanning, double-disc collection featuring all 34 of Jackson’s #1 hits. With 37 songs in all, the project will also include two rare tracks as well as the Zac Brown Band-collaborated hit “As She’s Walking Away.”
