Lady Antebellum's Take Me Downtown Tour was the third headlining tour by the American country music trio. The tour began on January 10, 2014, in Peoria, Illinois and ended on September 28, 2014, in Dominican Republic. The first leg of the tour was announced on July 2013 [1] and the second leg was announced on August 27, 2013.[2] The tour was in support of their fifth studio album, Golden.
Background[edit]
The first leg of the Take Me Downtown Tour was originally going to begin on November 8, 2013, but was postponed until January 10, 2014. Lady Antebellum's comment about the postponement was, "To accommodate the new release and in order give you guys the best show possible, we've had to move things around on our tour schedule." The first leg visited sixty cities.[3] It was also announced on the Lady Antebellum site on January 17, 2014, that the tour would be extended to eighty dates. Those dates were added to the summer portion of the tour. On May 19, 2014, it was announced that the group would headline a show on the beach in Atlantic City, New Jersey on August 3 as part of free beach concerts.[4]
