Dierks Bentley Going Down Under

Country rocker Dierks Bentley is getting ready to embark on his first-ever Australian tour with fellow Country Music stars Brooks & Dunn. The tour begins on May 1 in Perth, and moves through Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.

"We got a taste of international touring last summer when we played all over Europe, and I'm hooked," said Bentley. "I've heard that Australia has some hard-core country music fans, so I am looking forward to getting down there and playing for them. You can't go to Australia without exploring the local culture in the pubs, so I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't equally as excited about that."

Back in the states, Bentley is promoting his latest smash hit, "Sideways," with appearances on The Ellen Degeneres Show on April 28, The Bonnie Hunt Show on May 14 and a performance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

Bentley will join Country Music superstar Brad Paisley on the American Saturday Night Tour this summer, starting June 5. To hear the track, "Sideways," visit http://thegreenroompr.com/dierksbentley.html.
