Brad Paisley Announces Country Nation World Tour

Brad Paisley has announced the cities and dates for a 2014 summer tour.

The country superstar will launch his Country Nation World Tour on May 16 in Philadelphia. The show will visit more than 40 cities before wrapping up in Washington, D.C. on Sept. 20.

Randy Houser, Charlie Worsham, Leah Turner and Dee Jay Silver will serve as Paisley's special guests on the tour, which is produced by Live Nation.

The singer -- whose latest single, 'River Bank,' is from a new album he will release in August -- has partnered with Kraft cheese and dairy brands as a sponsor for the tour, and he has created a series of humorous videos detailing what he would do "For the Love of Cheese". Fans can visit the website to view those videos, access Paisley's favorite cheesy recipes, and enter a sweepstakes to win a lifetime supply of cheese, as well as a VIP concert experience.

Paisley is also partnering with Tickets for Charity to offer fans some of the best seats in the house, with the proceeds benefiting St. Jude Target House. Those tickets are available exclusively here.

The tour includes a very special appearance at the 2014 Taste of Country Music Festival, which takes place from June 13-15 at Hunter Mountain in New York. Other headliners at the three-day country music and camping festival include Dierks Bentley, Brantley Gilbert and Hank Williams, Jr.

More details regarding the tour are available on Paisley's website.
