Thomas Rhett Announces Home Team Tour 23 Dates

Thomas Rhett has announced his tour plans for 2023. The country hitmaker will bring the Home Team Tour to 27 states from May through September. In total, he just put 40 new tour dates on his calendar.

Cole Swindell and " Whiskey on You " singer Nate Smith will open the Home Team 23 Tour. It kicks off on Des Moines, Iowa, on May 4 and criss-crosses the country before wrapping in Nashville on Sept. 29. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Nov. 11 at 10AM local time.

See a full list of Rhett's tour dates below.

In a video shared with fans, Rhett attempts to wear sports jerseys from all 40 cities he'll be visiting as he makes the announcement and answers questions during a mock press conference. Swindell and Smith make brief cameos, but video magic makes Rhett the exponential star of the show. He even wears a University of Tennessee jersey, which surely had to sting, as Rhett is a big University of Georgia fan.

The tour's name comes from Rhett's name for his fan community. In fact, it's at least the second Home Team Tour he's embarked on. In 2017 he brought Kelsea Ballerini and more along for a Home Team Tour that focused on the midwest and southeast.

Thomas Rhett's Home Team Tour 23 Tour Dates:

May 4 — Des Moines, Iowa @ Wells Fargo Arena May 5 — Peoria, Ill. @ Peoria Civic Center Arena May 6 — Indianapolis Ind. @ Gainbridge Fieldhouse May 18 — Omaha, Neb. @ CHI Health Center May 19 — Kansas City, Mo. @ T-Mobile Center May 20 — St. Louis, Mo. @ Enterprise Center June 8 — Albany, N.Y. @ MVP Arena June 9 — Uncasville, Ct. @ Mohegan Sun Arena June 10 — Uncasville, Ct @ Mohegan Sun Arena June 15 — Tupelo, Miss. @ Cadence Bank Arena June 16 — Lafayette, La. @ Cajundome June 17 – Bossier City, La. @ Brookshire Grocery Arena June 22 — Lexington, Ky. @ Rupp Arena June 23 — Charleston, W.V. @ Charleston Coliseum July 6 — Buffalo, N.Y. @ KeyBank Center July 7 — Wilkes-Barre, Pa. @ Mohegan Sun Arena July 8  — Boston, Mass. @ TD Garden July 13 — Biloxi, Miss. @ Mississippi Coast Coliseum July 14 — Greenville, S.C. @ Bon Secours Wellness Arena July 15 — Knoxville, Tenn. @ Thompson-Boling Arena July 20 — Greensboro, N.C. @ Greensboro Coliseum July 21 — Baltimore, Md. @ CFG Bank Arena July 22 — Belmont Park, N.Y. @ UBS Arena July 27 — St. Paul, Minn. @ Xcel Energy Arena July 28 — Chicago, Ill. @ United Center July 29 — Grand Rapids, Mich. @ Van Andel Arena Aug. 3 — Dallas, Texas @ American Airlines Center Aug. 4 — Houston, Texas @ Toyota Center Aug. 5 — Austin, Texas @ Moody Center Aug. 17 — Oklahoma City, Okla. @ Paycom Center Aug. 18 — Wichita, Kan. @ Intrust Bank Arena Aug. 19 — Denver, Colo. @ Ball Arena Sept. 14 — Estero, Fla. @ Hertz Arena Sept. 15 — Jacksonville, Fla. @ VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena Sept. 16 — Orlando, Fla. @ Amway Center Sept. 21 — Charlottesville, Va. @ John Paul Jones Arena Sept. 22 — State College, Pa. @ Bryce Jordan Center Sept. 23 — Toledo, Ohio @ Huntington Center Sept. 28 — Birmingham, Ala. @ The Legacy Arena at the BJCC Sept. 29 — Nashville, Tenn. @ Bridgestone Arena

Country music star Thomas Rhett kicks off his 2023 tour at Wells Fargo Arena

Thomas Rhett shined in his much-anticipated Home Team Tour 23 debut Thursday night in Des Moines.

Rhett kicked off his massive U.S. tour to an electric audience of around 12,000 people at Wells Fargo Arena in the city's downtown. The appearance marked the second time headlining Wells Fargo Arena for the second-generation star in the genre, whose father is fellow hitmaker Rhett Akins of "That Ain't My Truck" fame . Rhett first headlined the arena previously during his Very Hot Summer Tour in 2019.

On Wednesday night, the eve of his electric arena tour's start, Rhett posted a photo dump to social media that included a series of white paper signs with the first that read, "We are so proud of you daddy!" signed by his four daughters Ada James, Willa Gray, Lennon and Lillie.

"My team trying to make me cry first night of tour… sheesh," the country megastar captioned the photo .

Rhett opened the show, following sets by country singers Cole Swindell and Nate Smith, in a Des Moines home team jacket and then put in work with a drum solo before singing his hit “Vacation” and traveling across the stage as he ended the song playing the guitar.

During a spiritual performance of “Look What God Gave Her,” the crooner wowed the crowd, who held up cups of beer as Rhett took a selfie with a front row audience member’s iPhone.

“You know this one, Des Moines. Let me hear you sing this!” Rhett said as he tipped the mic stand and sang his No. 1 hit “Crash and Burn” and took yet another selfie with an audience member.

“Des Moines, are you feeling good? Are your voices warmed up?” he said with pyrotechnics flying mid-air during the song with his Tennessee swagger.

Rhett watched a flurry of home videos featuring his four daughters before performing “Life Changes,” the catchy song dedicated to his Instagram-famous wife Lauren . Then, the country singer sang “Slow Down Summer,” “Unforgettable,” “Marry Me” and “You Make Me Wanna.”

A bluesy performance of “Us Someday” was followed by “Country Again” played on acoustic guitars . Then, he crooned to “Blessed,” a song written about Lauren and how blessed he is to have her in his life.

Rhett took Des Moines on a tour of the decades by singing “Hound Dog” by Elvis Presley before saying “that’s for you” and pointing to an audience member who was born in the 1950s. The night included cover songs including “I Feel Good” by James Brown and Rick Springfield's “Jessie’s Girl."

Fans turned on their flashlights as Rhett sang "Die A Happy Man" as the crowd swayed and sang along. "Thank you so much, Des Moines!" he said at the song's end.

Then, he performed a trio of songs for "the OGs:" "Notice," "Get Me Some Of That" and "It Goes Like This." A montage of photos of Rhett and his wife were accompanied by a performance of "Angels" as he sang "maybe angels don't always have wings." The Jon Pardi collaboration "Beer Can't Fix" and "Sixteen" followed as audience members wearing ballcaps and cowboy boots put their hands up.

Rhett rocked to a drums-defined version of "Craving You" before more pyrotechnics brought the house down. "Y'all got time for a couple more?" he asked.

He sang "What's Your Country Song" during the confetti-capped concert's close around 11 p.m. as Rhett took a bow. An encore led to a twangy version of "T-Shirt." Then, a final bow from Rhett and guitar solo guided concertgoers out of the Des Moines arena.

Nate Smith shines during opening set in Des Moines

Under blue lights, up-and-comer Nate Smith sang his song “Sleeve” donning an understated Metallica T-shirt. Smith released his self-titled debut album just last week.

“How you all doin’ tonight?” he asked the crowd to cheers.

“In every little smile and stranger passin' through, I still see her now and then in my dreams,” he sang with his gritty signature sound as onlookers posted Instagram photos and took selfies.

Smith’s set foreshadowed an explosive future in Nashville that could eclipse even the brightest newcomers with his ballad-heavy songs.

Smith sang fan favorite “World on Fire” followed by the ballad “I Found You” and then “Under My Skin,” the slow breakup anthem about losing a past lover.

Smith performed the chart-topping “Whiskey on You” about pouring one up after being passed up by an ex as he chugged a beer handed to him from an audience member in the front row. The single recently spent two weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart .

Cole Swindell brings Georgia heat to Wells Fargo Arena stage

With an electric guitar-layered introduction featuring bandmates, Swindell strutted out on the Wells Fargo Arena stage in an all-black outfit that included a Brad Paisley shirt, denim jacket, jeans and brown cowboy boots.

Cole Swindell opened the set with his latest single “Drinkaby,” a drum-dotted song that would easily be found at a Dallas County dive bar on a Friday night with its honky tonk, hip-swinging sound .

“Des Moines, what’s up?” Swindell asked the audience.

The opening song was followed by “Love You Too Late” and the beer sippin’, hat tippin’ track “Let Me See Ya Girl.”

“Let’s give it for the first night of the Home Team Tour,” he said before calling out the section in 304. “This is exactly how we wanted to see you tonight,” he said before saying the crowd was “good looking.”

The self-explanatory “Single Saturday Night” had the crowd going with his hit single, an ode to White Claw seltzers and looking back at the one you once looked for. Later, he sang the radio favorite “Stereotype” and “Break Up In The End.”

Swindell led an a capella crowd singalong to “Middle of a Memory” before the band joined in and the Georgia native traced the stage floor underneath a traveling white spotlight. He sang "Hope You Get Lonely Tonight" before a pair of guitar solos closed out the song and Swindell sang his collaboration with "Yellowstone" star and country peer Lainey Wilson, "Never Say Never" as a video of her played on two screens flanking the stage.

Swindell brought Georgia heat to the Iowa night with "Chillin' It" and the sultry "Sad Ass Country Song" and "You Should Be Here" about losing someone after they pass away .

"Anybody else got here that ain't worth the damn whiskey or what?" he asked the crowd to massive cheers before singing "You Ain't Worth the Whiskey" and applauding servicemembers, police officers, EMTs and nurses.

"Hey, Des Moines, what's a boy from South Georgia supposed to do with a crowd like this on the first night of tour?" he asked during a short break during the Dierks Bentley collaboration "Flatliner."

The close friend and frequent collaborator of Rhett ended his set with "She Had Me At Heads Carolina," which had nearly every seat in the Iowa crowd on their feet.

Multi-Platinum entertainer Thomas Rhett will join the Home Teams of 40 cities next summer, today revealing US tour dates for his HOME TEAM TOUR 23, produced by Live Nation, presented by Dos Primos Tequila and Fueled by Marathon. Known for his "bombastic, good time energy” (Esquire), after kicking off 2023 in Canada, the summer tour will begin May 4 in Des Moines, IA at Wells Fargo Arena with Cole Swindell and Nate Smith, and end at Thomas Rhett’s hometown Nashville, TN, at Bridgestone Arena on September 23, 2023.

About Thomas Rhett

Ten years after signing his record deal with Big Machine Label Group’s The Valory Music Co., arena-packing superstar Thomas Rhett — dubbed “the most reliable maker of No. 1 singles in country music” (Variety) — has 19 multi-PLATINUM and GOLD-certified No. 1 hits, 12 BILLION streams and the longest current active streak of consecutive No. 1s in the format (Mediabase/Country Aircheck Chart). Declared “a prince in the genre” (USA Today) , he has been honored with eight ACM Awards including Entertainer of the Year, two CMA Awards, five GRAMMY nominations, plus trophies from the CMT Music Awards,  Billboard Awards and iHeartRadio Awards, in addition to being recognized with two CMA Triple Play awards for penning three No. One songs within a 12-month period. The superstar’s critically-acclaimed sixth studio album WHERE WE STARTED is available now, with single “Half of Me,” featuring Riley Green, currently Top 5 at Country radio. Thomas Rhett has also just released his first-ever Christmas collection MERRY CHRISTMAS Y’ALL, featuring his rich vocal and sincere delivery, with a country flair on four favorite festive tracks.  Inspired by family, friends and his love of the outdoors, Thomas Rhett is also the cofounder of Dos Primos Tequila and has collaborated with Chaco on an exclusive sandal line. He recently extended his BRING THE BAR TO YOU TOUR into 2023 with dates scheduled for the top of next year in Canada. For more information, visit www.ThomasRhett.com .

About Cole Swindell

Multi-Platinum selling superstar Cole Swindell released his fifth studio album, Stereotype , to massive success. The project has already charted three back-to-back multi-week No. 1 hits: the Gold-certified “Single Saturday Night,” the Platinum-certified “Never Say Never” (with Lainey Wilson) and, most recently, the Platinum-certified, five-week chart-topper “She Had Me At Heads Carolina.” In the seven years since his debut on Warner Music Nashville, Swindell has racked up an impressive 12 No. 1 singles as an artist – 13 as a songwriter – 11 certified Platinum singles (four singles at 2x Platinum), a Platinum-certified debut album ( Cole Swindell ) and a Gold-certified sophomore album ( You Should Be Here ). The Georgia hitmaker has over 5.2 BILLION global career streams. His massive, GRAMMY-nominated hit “Break Up In The End” was named the 2019 NSAI Song of the Year . Swindell is nominated for two CMA Awards for Musical Event of the Year and Music Video of the Year for “Never Say Never” with Lainey Wilson. He officially became a headliner on his own in 2018 with his Reason To Drink Tours, and is currently out on the road with Ashley Cooke and Dylan Marlowe for his Back Down To The Bar Tour .

About Nate Smith

With a mix of gritty backwoods soul, rock ‘n’ roll swagger and velvet-thunder vocals, Nate Smith first chased his neon dreams to Nashville in his early 20s – but it didn’t stick. The disheartened Smith returned home and thought he was “100-percent done” with his artistic journey…until a crucible of change burned away the past. In 2018, Smith lost everything he owned in the devastating Camp Fire which tore through Paradise, California. Although his family was safe, he struggled to cope and turned back to music, hoping that it would help comfort himself and others. Help it did, inspiring a month-long road trip across the U.S. to Music City, writing music and playing dive bars along the way. Soon after his arrival to Nashville, Nate released his biggest song to date, “Wildfire,” and landed a publishing deal with Sony ATV. Since then, he’s released new music including “Sleeve” and “Under My Skin,” which has amassed over 70 million on-demand streams to date. The singer was named a Spotify Hot Country Artist to Watch for 2021 – an accurate prediction as he rounded out the year with a record deal with Sony Music Nashville and is now making waves with his latest release, "Whiskey On You," which is now Gold-certified and Top 15 and climbing at country radio.

Stagecoach guest predictions: From Thomas Rhett to Beyoncé, here's who we're hoping for

W hen you've got musicians like Willie Nelson, Miranda Lambert, Jelly Roll, Leon Bridges, Morgan Wallen and so many others on the Stagecoach country music festival lineup, what more could you ask for? Well, we're asking for some equally as amazing special guests.

Hot off of two weekends at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, the Empire Polo Club grounds have seen and heard a couple of cool surprise acts, including Kesha, Will Smith, Billie Eilish and many others. With Stagecoach closing out the Coachella Valley's spring music festival season, we hope the country artists on the lineup go out with a bang and treat their fans to some mind-blowing collaborations.

Here are some surprise guests we're hoping dust off their cowboy hats and make their way to Stagecoach this weekend.

As far fetched as this one might seem, the clues for a special Beyoncé appearance have never been more clear. During the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, a "Cowboy Carter" sky banner and semi-truck were seen around the Empire Polo Club grounds, making us think Beyoncé would guest during that festival. But because her latest album is country inspired, and the fact that many of the artists on the Stagecoach lineup are featured on it, all signs seem to point to the surprise guest to end all surprise guests this weekend. Her "Cowboy Carter" collaborators include Tanner Adell and Brittney Spencer on "Blackbiird," Post Malone on "Levii's Jeans," Willie Jones on "Just For Fun" and Willie Nelson, who is featured on the album's "Smoke Hour" interludes. Specifically, Nelson's set is billed as "Willie Nelson & Family," so who knows, maybe Dolly Parton or Miley Cyrus also join in for "Tyrant," "Jolene" or "II Most Wanted." Any one of these would be incredible to see live, so here's hoping that at least one happens.

— Ema Sasic

Carrie Underwood

From one female Stagecoach headliner to another, Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood would be a powerhouse duet to witness in person. They teamed up on Lambert's "Thelma and Louise"-inspired song "Somethin' Bad" a decade ago, and these two have the potential to bring the house down at Stagecoach. We've already seen what an Underwood headlining set does to a crowd — everyone was singing, dancing and having the time of their life with the "American Idol" winner in 2022 — so we can only imagine how rowdy the place would get with her as a surprise guest.

Dierks Bentley, Diplo

Elle King will be hitting the Mane Stage once again this year and has the potential to be joined by a few guests. She has a collaboration with Dierks Bentley on "Worth a Shot" off of her 2023 album "Come Get Your Wife." The pop-country song can instantly put anyone in a good mood, as if Stagecoach attendees could get even more excited. Diplo has also become a main feature at the festival — he'll be doing a Late Night in Palomino set on Saturday night and he's still got a HonkyTonk on the grounds named after him — so it would only make sense for him to join King for their song "Without You."

Thomas Rhett

From Florida Georgia Line to rapper Lil Durk to Chris Stapleton, Morgan Wallen has no shortage of big name collaborators. But when it comes to Stagecoach, we're pretty sure he'll bring up Eric Church (or vice versa) to perform "God Made a Bar," although that could get slightly awkward given that Wallen was just arrested for throwing a chair out the window of Church's Nashville bar earlier this month.

But if we had to pick a second guest for country's resident bad boy (and who knows, maybe he'll want one to help reduce the spotlight on himself), we'd go with 2022 headliner Rhett given that their song "Mamaw's House" has become a fixture on country radio since it was released last fall.

This is all assuming, of course, that respectable artists like Church and Rhett even still want to be associated with Wallen after his most recent burst of impropriety, although his many issues have seemingly not stopped artists from wanting to work with him in the past.

— Paul Albani-Burgio

Bruce Springsteen

OK, this may feel even more farfetched than a Beyoncé appearance. But just go with us here for a minute. What's Eric Church's most famous song? "Springsteen," of course. So wouldn't it be cool if the New Jersey legend joined Church (who apparently loves The Boss so much he wrote his greatest hit as tribute to him) on stage to sing a few songs?

Lo and behold, there is even proof of concept here as Church and Springsteen performed Springsteen's "Working on a Highway" together at a charity benefit for current and former members of the military in New York back in 2018. With Church headlining and the 74-year-old Springsteen not getting any younger, it seems like this would be the perfect time to take their shows to one of the biggest stages in country music.

Dolly Parton

While we're already thinking big, why not go even bolder. Parton is perhaps the most famous living country artist to never play Stagecoach. But we can hardly think of a better way to make her debut than performing with a 91-year-old Willie Nelson. After all, the pair have a long history of both performing and creating songs together.

Other artists not on the lineup who could surprise us:

• Florida Georgia Line (they're featured on Morgan Wallen's "Up Down")
• Chris Stapleton (he's featured on Morgan Wallen's "Only Thing That’s Gone")
• Maren Morris (she's featured on Miranda Lambert's "Way Too Pretty for Prison")
• Little Big Town (they're featured on Miranda Lambert's "Smokin' and Drinkin'")
• The Pistol Annies (Miranda Lambert's trio with Ashley Monroe and Angaleena Presley)

Artists on the lineup who we suspect will special guest for each other:

• Elle King to come out during Miranda Lambert's headlining set for "Drunk (And I Don't Wanna Go Home)"
• Ben Burgess to come out during Morgan Wallen's headlining set for "Outlaw"
• ERNEST to come out during Morgan Wallen's headlining set for "Cowgirls" and/or "Flower Shops"
• HARDY to come out during Morgan Wallen's headlining set for "In The Bible"

Artists we originally suspected but, sadly, will be on a tour stop in another city during Stagecoach:

• Luke Combs (unless he wanted to fly here from Pennsylvania on Sunday and squeeze in an evening set ...)
• Lainey Wilson (and she's not only on tour, but on tour in Europe, so she definitely won't be there)

Go beneath the streets on this tour of the spectacular, mind-bending Moscow Metro! Be awed by architecture and spot the Propaganda , then hear soviet stories from a local in the know. Finish it all up above ground, looking up to Stalins skyscrapers, and get the inside scoop on whats gone on behind those walls.

Know More about this tour

We begin our Moscow tour beneath the city, exploring the underground palace of the Moscow Metro. From the Square of Revolution station, famous for its huge statues of soviet people (an armed soldier, a farmer with a rooster, a warrior, and more), we’ll move onto some of the most significant stations, where impressive mosaics, columns, and chandeliers will boggle your eyes! Moreover, these stations reveal a big part of soviet reality — the walls depict plenty of Propaganda , with party leaders looking down from images on the walls. Your local guide will share personal stories of his/her family from USSR times, giving you insight into Russia’s complicated past and present. Then we’re coming back up to street level, where we’ll take a break and refuel with some Russian fast food: traditional pancakes, called bliny. And then, stomachs satiated, we are ready to move forward! We’ll take the eco-friendly electric trolleybus, with a route along the Moscow Garden Ring. Used mainly by Russian babushkas(grannies) during the day, the trolleybus hits peak hours in the mornings and evenings, when many locals use it going to and from their days. Our first stop will be the Aviator’s House, one of Stalin’s Seven Sisters, followed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs — and you’ll hear the legends of what has gone on inside the walls. Throughout your Moscow tour, you’ll learn curious facts from soviet history while seeing how Russia exists now, 25 years after the USSR.

The Museum was opened on Sportivnaya metro station on November 6, 1967. It features the most interesting models of trains and stations.

Coffee Ring

The first scheme of Moscow Metro looked like a bunch of separate lines. Listen to a myth about Joseph Stalin and the main brown line of Moscow Metro.

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.
