The Band Perry

Republic Nashville's The Band Perry has announced their first worldwide headline arena tour, the "We Are Pioneers World Tour," in support of their album "PIONEER." The tour will kick off in Gothenburg, Sweden on Friday, November 8th at Tradgarn and will travel across Europe for five weeks before jumping back to the U.S.

Here is a sneak preview!

"We live to play. In our minds everything we do - writing, recording, interviews, appearances - is the means to the live end. To fully and totally understand our band, you have to see us live. It's the three of us in our element, our living room, our therapy session, our recess. We can't wait to bring 'WE ARE PIONEERS' to the world, " said Kimberly Perry.

The group will debut entirely new show, including a new set, sound, lights and even a few new tricks. On the run of European dates, various local acts will be in the support slot on the tour, and starting on Thursday, January 9th, Easton Corbin and Lindsay Ell will join The Band Perry on the North American dates.

"Marching forward and making noise together. That's what a Band Perry show is all about. There are these moments that we've built into the show when the three of us and our band are like an army or a marching band. Us, our band, and the crowd - it's like we're a team, and we're all in it together," said Reid Perry. "We are very fortunate that we get to walk on stage and do what we love to do - and it's our fans that have given us that opportunity. We sincerely appreciate each and every one of them, and we are looking forward to meeting new people across the world and making The Fans Perry a global community."

"We believe pioneers are everywhere. Big and small, young and old, on North-American shores and abroad - we are coming to find you!" added Neil Perry.
