Martina McBride Unleashes New Tour

Fresh off the release of her 13th studio album, Reckless, Martina McBride is getting ready to hit the road with her Love Unleashed Tour.

“With so much tragedy and uncertainty in the world, our family is watching less news and spending more time listening to music, sharing stories over dinner, and loving each other,” Martina said in a statement. “I want this concert to be a place where people can share the common experience of music and how it can work its magic, as only music can. A place where we can come together and show our love for each other and head back out into the world a little stronger for having been there.”

Opening acts—on select dates—include the Canadian country music duo High Valley and singer songwriter Hailey Whitters. For the first time ever, Martina will also be offering VIP experiences that will include a meet and greet and Q&A session, exclusive autographed gift, premium tickets and more.

VIP Packages and Tickets go on sale in select markets on Friday Aug. 19. More details are available at martinamcbride.com
