Background

The tour was first announced on March 4, 2016. About the tour Jay DeMarcus says,

"It's really important to us that each year our shows are fresh and exciting for our fans,". "We put a lot of thought into how to do that this year and mixing it up in Vegas was really fun so we decided to continue with this new change of pace out on the road this summer, so we can share it with more of our fans. We're really excited to have such great support this year with Kelsea and Chris too, it's going to be a blast!"[1]

Critical reception

Elisabeth Arriero, a correspondent for The Charlotte Observer says, "There's a reason why Rascal Flatts can still fill up venues like PNC Music Pavilino after 16 consecutive years on tour: They have this live performance bit down to a science without losing any of the enthusiasm or heart."[2]
