Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw have been breaking attendance records at stadiums all over the U.S. this summer. Chesney’s 22-city/23-stadium Brothers of the Sun Tour wrapped this weekend at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass., selling a record-breaking 111,209 tickets over two shows.

Jason Aldean is at the top of his game right now, the proof being in his recently sold-out stadium show at Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio. While the remainder of 2012 consists of arena shows on his My Kinda Party Tour, Aldean says to expect bigger and better soon — maybe as soon as next year.

Brantley Gilbert has definitely earned his slot on the list of up-and-coming country stars.

His set consisted of fan favorites like ‘I Like It, I Love It,’ ‘Live Like You Were Dying,’ ‘Felt Good on My Lips’ and ‘Real Good Man,’

Earlier this week Carrie Underwood was on Good Morning America to promote her new album and to announce tour dates for her upcoming " Blown Away" Tour and three of the stops with be within driving distance of Lawton.

Will Hoge may not be country, but he’s found a home there. The hit singer-songwriter penned Eli Young Band‘s single, ‘Even if It Breaks Your Heart’ — which is a smash at country radio — and he just wrapped up a run opening the Country and Cold Cans Tour with both EYB and headliner Dierks Bentley.

Carrie Underwood is going global! With the release of her fourth studio album, ‘Blown Away,’ the country superstar has announced a string of concert dates in the United Kingdom and Australia. The just-announced Blown Away Tour dates will be the first headlining venture overseas for the ‘Good Girl’ singer.
