Sugarland is out on their Still the Same Tour with opening acts Brandy Clark and Clare Bowen, with Lindsay Ell and Frankie Ballard joining them in mid-July. When it comes to picking opening acts, there are a lot of factors that can go into it, but Kristian Bush says, “We’ve always really thought and kind of learned it, I’d say from Kenny Chesney, to put as many great artists on in front of you as possible because your fan deserves an incredible show. And people get picked as opening acts for a million different reasons. And sometimes it can be confusing to try to sort out why I’m watching someone in front of someone else. And while some days we’ve been confusing most of the time it’s just cause we’re big fans.”
Jennifer Nettles agrees and says, “I mean sometimes you know it’s nice to offer support to a label mate or sometimes those kinds of things can happen. But for the most part it’s just people who we like.”
Sugarland’s Still the Same Tour, promoting their newest album, BIGGER, featuring “Babe,” will run through September 9th. You can see a complete list of tour dates on SugarlandMusic.com.
