Rascal Flatts Plans Australia Tour Date for 2013

Rascal Flatts have toured all over North America, as well as visited Europe, but next year will mark their first trip to Australia. The trio, comprised of Gary LeVox, Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney, will headline the CMC Rocks the Hunter festival, held March 15-17 in Pokolbin, New South Wales.

The festival, which featured Tim McGraw and Faith Hill as the headliners this year, is a signature event in the country. "People have been clamoring for Rascal Flatts for years and we're thrilled to have them for what is sure to be another terrific CMC Rocks the Hunter," event promoter Michael Chugg says.

During the three-day festival, Rascal Flatts will be joined by the Band Perry, Chris Young, David Lee Murphy, Adam Brand, Dean Brody and several other artists. Find more information about the festival, including ticket prices, here.

Before the threesome pack their bags for the land Down Under, they still have a tour to finish in the States. The group, whose most recent album Changed soared to the top of the charts, are in the middle of a tour by the same name, with Little Big Town, Edens Edge and the Eli Young Band serving as their opening acts.

"It was a great title," Gary explained. "Everything in our career has changed. We switched record labels. Last year, we switched management companies. A lot of things have changed in the last 10 years. We thought it summed up everything."
