Brad Paisley’s must-see Virtual Reality World Tour will pick back up on Fri., May 18 with shows in St. Louis, Indianapolis and Cincinnati that weekend. Continuing on the tour will be The Band Perry and Scotty McCreery with Easton Corbin joining the tour on select dates.
Paisley continues the Plaza tradition of fun for the third year with “The Escape” – a fun-filled outdoor plaza area with games, contests, photo ops, food vendors, and a performance stage. Sticking with the tour theme, there will be a “Virtual Opry” stage that incorporates a futuristic Grand Ole Opry backdrop and signature mic stands. Kristen Kelly, Jana Kramer and Love and Theft will be performing on the stage starting at 5:00 p.m.
The three artists will be signing autographs immediately following the performances on the “Virtual Opry” stage. “The Escape” includes Virtual Reality World Tour Escape the Lawn Lucky Seats Game where fans can win sponsor prizes and ticket upgrades and Air Force Reserves Flight Commander Challenge with fans throwing airplanes through targets for prizes. Activities throughout “The Escape” plaza area include an Air Force Reserves mock jet plane photo station, Mossy Oak Camo-Jam Snapshot Station and Camo Cabanas, a slip n slide and inflatables. There will be an “Escape” emcee that will play games and hand out prizes to the fans. Sea Ray Boats will host an outdoor boat display.
