The song is available now with a tour to follow this fall
Little Big Town and Sugarland have unveiled new music and a joint tour. The two groups have released a cover of the Phil Collins hit “Take Me Home” and will embark on a joint North American tour of the same name this fall with The Castellows. The Take Me Home trek hits 18 cities starting on October 24th in Greenville, South Carolina before it wraps on December 13th in Nashville. The closing night is a special Nashville homecoming for the band as it’ll be Little Big Town’s first show in town since 2017’s iconic sold-out ten-night residency at Ryman Auditorium.
The bands shared the news ahead of their 2024 CMT Music Awards performance where they’ll make their world premiere performance of the song on CBS.
“25 years of music and we can’t wait to celebrate it with you ❤️ We will be hitting the road this fall as we celebrate #LBT25 with Sugarland and The Castellows on the Take Me Home Tour,” Little Big Town shares on social media. “Proud to share our cover of the legendary @officialphilcollins classic ‘Take Me Home’ out now.”
“Excited to be sharing the stage with our longtime friends Little Big Town tonight on the #CMTawards, as well as announcing our new song and tour together!” Sugarland states on social media.
Various presale tickets are available starting on Tuesday, April 9th at 10 am local time ahead of the general on-sale set for Friday, April 12th at 10 am local time via Ticketmaster. The tour will also offer a variety of different VIP packages and experiences for fans to take their concert experience to the next level. Packages vary but include premium tickets, an interactive Little Big Town coffee book, a limited edition and autographed tour poster & more. VIP package contents vary based on the offer selected.
Little Big Town and Sugarland’s rendition of “Take Me Home,” originally written and released by Phil Collins in 1985, gives the song a fresh new meaning but leaves us with a familiar longing. The performance served as a monumental homecoming for the two country music giants as they last shared the CMT Music Awards stage in 2008 for a rousing rendition of “Life In A Northern Town.” The groups will perform the song on the trek, produced by Live Nation and Sandbox Live.
Grammy, ACM, CMA, AMA, and Emmy Award-winning group, Little Big Town – consisting of members Karen Fairchild, Phillip Sweet, Kimberly Schlapman, and Jimi Westbrook – first entered the music scene 25 years ago with hit songs “Boondocks,” “Bring It On Home,” “Good As Gone” and the Grammy-nominated “Little White Church.” The band’s breakthrough albums Tornado and Pain Killer produced multiple No. 1 singles, including “Pontoon,” “Tornado,” and “Day Drinking,” as well as the history-making, best-selling country single of the year (2015) “Girl Crush.” 2017’s The Breaker debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Charts to critical acclaim. The album features their Grammy-winning, multi-week No. 1 single, “Better Man,” as well as the 2019 Grammy-nominated, “When Someone Stops Loving You.” The band’s self-produced ninth studio album, Nightfall, was released in January 2020 and hit the top of the Billboard Country Charts. The record included critically acclaimed and Grammy-nominated songs “The Daughters,” “Over Drinking” and “Wine, Beer, Whiskey” – the latter of which has reached almost 400 million global streams. In September 2022, they released their tenth studio album, Mr. Sun, which debuted as the Top Country Album released by a Group in 2022. Little Big Town has earned more than 45 award show nominations and has taken home over 20 awards.
Since the band’s inception in 2002, Sugarland has sold nearly ten million albums domestically, achieving high-mark sales with platinum-certified The Incredible Machine, two-time platinum Love on the Inside, and three-time platinum Twice the Speed of Life as well as Enjoy the Ride. Their most popular songs include platinum-certified “All I Want to Do” and “Stay,” two-time platinum “Stuck Like Glue” as well as gold-certified “Baby Girl,” “It Happens,” “Settlin’,” “Something More” and “Want To.” Sugarland has also earned seven No. 1 singles and amassed over 600 million on-demand streams. Their critical and mainstream appeal has been magnified with industry accolades – five consecutive CMA Awards for Vocal Duo of the Year (2007-2011), five ACM Awards (including Song of the Year and Single of the Year), and Grammy Awards for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals and Best Country Song for “Stay.”
