Dierks Bentley has added more dates to his tour itinerary, most of which are opening gigs for fellow country stars, including friend Brad Paisley and his upcoming "American Saturday Night Tour."
The country crooner and new father will help wrap up Paisley's current "Paisley Party Tour" Saturday (3/14) in Nashville, followed by a two-week hiatus. Bentley will get back on the tour trail April 3-4 with stops in Nevada before taking off with Brooks & Dunn on a short Australian jaunt. The country star returns to the US for an April 23 performance in Iowa City, IA, and continues on as support for Paisley's "American Saturday Night Tour," crisscrossing the US with dates scheduled through mid-October. The full itinerary is below.
Bentley's latest effort, "Feel That Fire," dropped in early February and debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200. The album's second single, "Sideways," made the list of Hot Country Songs its first week out, while the first single and title track still remains on the Hot 100 Airplay chart.
The country singer spent most of 2008 on tour supporting his hits compilation, "Greatest Hits: Every Mile A Memory 2003-2008," as well as 2006's "Long Trip Alone." Bentley also hosted his third annual "Miles & Music for Kids" benefit concert last August, raising money for Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. No word yet on plans for a 2009 edition.
