Jake Owen will headline the 11th annual CMT On Tour this fall, joined by rising duos Love and Theft and Florida Georgia Line. The announcement comes on the heels of a banner year for Owen, which has included two No.1 singles, a spot on the Brothers of the Sun tour with Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw, and an Endless Summer EP to be released on Sept. 25.
“Being the headliner of a tour is something I’ve been dreaming about since I was in college, performing songs every Sunday afternoon on a bar stool and playing for tips,” says Jake. “Headlining the CMT tour is really cool for me because I was the opening, opening act in 2007, when Sugarland was the headliner and Little Big Town had the middle slot. So now, to be headlining … it feels very surreal. I’m honored and I can’t wait to hit the road in October and keep that feeling of summer going.”
CMT On Tour Jake Owen: The Summer Never Ends 2012 will kick off in New York City on Oct. 10, with tickets going on sale Aug. 24.
