# Country Nation World Tour

The Country Nation World Tour was the ninth headlining concert tour by American country music singer Brad Paisley. The tour was in support of his ninth studio album, Wheelhouse (2013), and tenth studio album, Moonshine in the Trunk (2014). The tour began on May 16, 2014 in Camden, New Jersey, and finished on April 26, 2015 in Anchorage, Alaska.

## Background

Days before the tour started, Paisley still didn't have a name for the tour. "You should have seen our trucks — it's 10 white semis", "I'm tempted to take a sharpie and write, 'Brad Paisley World Tour on the front of it", Paisley told Billboard Magazine. Additional dates of the tour were announced in November 2014, and began on January 16, 2015, in Morgantown, West Virginia.
The tour was sponsored by Kraft's Cheese & Dairy Brands. To go along with the sponsor, fans were "able to participate in various Kraft-brand activities" like taking photos in the "Cheese Photobooth" and using props for an opportunity to appear during the show on screen.
