Brooks & Dunn Lock in Dates for Farewell Tour

Its time to call it a day on the storied country music duo Brooks & Dunn. Their 2010 tour will be the groups last as the band will dissolve after it closes. The ‘Last Rodeo Tour’ will cover 47-cities starting in Sacramento, California on April 23 and lasting through August 8 in Chicago, Illinois. Full city information and dates are listed below with venues still being nailed down. There is also a special date reserved just for Nashville that will be released at a later time.

When it comes to what split the dynamic duo, the pair released this statement back in October. “After 20 years of making music and riding this trail together, we have agreed as a duo that it’s time to call it a day,” the statement read. “This ride has been everything and more than we could ever have dreamed … We owe it all to you, the fans. If you hear rumors, don’t believe them. It’s just time.” In subsequent interviews, the group alluded to the fact that they have done everything they can do in their 20 years on stage, and it is time to call it a day when they can go out on their own terms instead of grinding their success into the ground.

Brooks & Dunn’s latest release is a new Greatest Hits compilation entitled “#1s … and Then Some.” The collection digs up 30 of their chart topping hits including “Cowgirls Don’t Cry” which was nominated for a Grammy Award marking the duos 15th nod. Their most recent original work “Cowboy Town” was released in 2007. The pair has been honored as Entertainer of the Year at the CMA awards in 1996 and won CMA’s as best Vocal Duo of the Year every year from 1992 to 2006 save for 2000.

Ticket onsale information is still forthcoming.
