Last week, Sugarland announced on social media that they would embark on the “Still the Same” reunion tour this summer and provided a list of cities that they plan to play.
Atlanta, of course, was among the 40-plus mentioned – it’s still Kristian Bush’s home and Jennifer Nettles hasn’t forgotten her Douglas, Ga., roots – and now the blanks have been filled in.
Sugarland will perform at Infinite Energy Arena at 7 p.m. Aug. 3 with Frankie Ballard and Lindsay Ell. Tickets, priced at $31.50-$101, will go on sale at 10 a.m. Jan. 12 though www.infiniteenergycenter.com, the arena box office and by calling 770-626-2464.
Sugarland will kick officially kick off the tour at James Brown Arena in Augusta with Brandy Clark and Clare Bowen opening. Those tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m Jan. 26 .
The tour is the first for Nettles and Bush in five years. The announcement comes two months after they reunited for the CMA Awards in Nashville and a few weeks removed from the arrival of their new song and video, the eminently catchy and poignant, "Still the Same."
Sugarland last performed in Atlanta in 2012 , with a show at Verizon Amphitheatre as part of the"In Your Hands" tour.
