WhiskeyChick’s Take
If Nashville was the preview, this tour is going to be one of Thomas Rhett’s strongest runs in years. The combination of stadium-sized production, hit-filled setlist, surprise moments, and rotating support acts makes every stop feel unique. Fans who have been waiting should not wait much longer. Once the tour gets rolling, word-of-mouth is going to move tickets quickly, especially in the late summer and fall markets.
Catch Thomas Rhett when the Soundtrack to Life Tour comes to your city and grab your tickets before the best seats are gone. Check back with Country Music On Tour throughout the tour for more photos, updates, and concert coverage.
