The Band Perry announced The Purveyors of Performance Tour to begin Aug. 15, 2011 and continue through 2012. The tour is made up of approximately 75 dates with headlining shows, support dates for Keith Urban, Reba and more yet-to-be-announced dates.

 
"It has always been our dream to play Country music," says the band. "We've been on the road as a family band for thirteen years and experienced the intimacy of theaters, the energy of county fairs and the joy of connecting with new faces as we support these amazing artists at arenas and amphitheaters. Artists like Tim McGraw, Keith Urban and Reba were the ones who originally inspired us to dream big...now they have helped our dreams come true. We couldn't be more grateful to them or excited about the future."
 
As the band wraps up the Emotional Traffic tour with Tim McGraw, they are left in awe. Working with a legend of country music the band says they learned so much from the “gracious host and the epitome of mega-star.”
 
With their tour coming up, August is shaping up to be a “high profile month” for The Band Perry. The debut of a new video airing on the Teen Choice Awards, where they had two nominations, a performance on CMA Music Festival: Country’s Night To Rock on ABC (8/14) and a Jimmy Kimmel Live! concert on Aug. 17.
 
The band’s single “If I Die Young” is not dying young – in fact, it lives on! The song has gone from being the No. 1 song in Country music to the Pop charts! It is currently No. 15 on the Top 40 Chart, No. 9 on the Hot A/C Chart and No. 14 on the A/C Chart, according to Billboard. The video had been played on both VH1 and MTV.
