Brad Paisley Kicks off 'American Saturday Night' Tour on Friday

This Friday, June 5, Brad Paisley will kick off his American Saturday Night Tour in Charlotte, N.C., with opening acts Dierks Bentley and Jimmy Wayne. This kick-off is just in time for the rapid success of his current single, "Then," which marks Paisley's 10th career No. 1 hit.  

About the tour, Paisley said, There's something special about a Saturday. That is, you didn't have to work...you don't have to work the next day...you're getting over whatever happened at work or whatever happened in your week...and hopefully you're taking a little break from reality. And any time we fire up this show -- whether it's a Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday -- it's going to be officially Saturday night when we start. And it's not 'not Saturday night' until you leave."
