Chart-topping newcomer Dylan Scott set to open the show
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Justin Moore announced this week that he will launch his “Hell on a Highway Tour” on Oct. 13 in Monroe, Louisiana. The tour includes a performance in Knoxville on April 28, 2018. The PLATINUM-selling entertainer will hit over 40 cities across the U.S. with Dylan Scott opening for Moore. This is Moore’s fourth headlining tour—having just wrapped up his “American Made Tour” with Lee Brice back in April—and will span seven months, taking the Arkansas native coast to coast.
The news is announced on the heels of Moore’s seventh No. 1 single, “Somebody Else Will,” which hit the top of the Mediabase and Billboard Country Airplay Charts. This is the second chart-topper from his fourth studio album, “Kinda Don’t Care” (The Valory Music Co.), which also marks his third No. 1 debut on the Billboard Country Albums chart. Moore is a seasoned showman who continues to blow the roof off venues after almost a decade of touring. The OC Register raves of a recent show: “It was full-on energy,” and Whiskey Riff adds “… Justin rocked the crowd’s face off …”
Moore will perform at the Knoxville Civic Auditorium in Knoxville, Tennessee, on Saturday, April 28, 2018. Tickets for the “Hell on a Highway Tour” go on sale Friday, Oct. 27, and can be purchased at the Knoxville Civic Coliseum Box Office, charge by phone at 800-745-3000 and online at www.ticketmaster.com.
