Lady Antebellum, CMA Vocal Group of the Year, announced their first headlining tour today. Dr. Pepper is sponsoring Lady Antebellum’s The Need You Now 2010 Tour, which is set to begin on September 20th and go through November. In the coming weeks, the team will announce cities and dates for the tour which is expected to hit 35 cities across the country. “I feel like we were just writing songs for our very first show at this small club in Nashville,” said Hillary Scott. “I can remember being so nervous to perform in front of just a handful of people that night and to think now we’re beginning to headline our very own tour is unbelievable. We have our fans to thank for following us every step of the way!” The band also announced they have a new single out, “Our Kind Of Love.”Country Music Photo Gallery

Dolly Parton on Glee?

Dolly Parton, country music’s favorite showgirl, talks about America’s favorite show choir Glee. In a recent interview, Dolly Parton admits she would love to be a guest on the hot Fox show ‘Glee‘. “I have seen bits and pieces of it,” she says. “It looks fantastic.” When asked to elaborate, she goes on to say “If it has a dang thing to do with music, I would do it,” she says. “I can’t dance. They’re always coming to me for that ‘Dancing with the Stars’ and I won’t do that.” Now I personally would LOVE to see a country-themed episode of the show that I am SO addicted to! Of course, it would be a far cry from the Lady GaGa episode they have planned next week, but fun nonetheless. As for that Lady GaGa hour, expect to see a lot of crazy costumes, a ton of blonde wigs, and an enormous amount of action! Come to think of it, maybe a Dolly-themed episode wouldn’t be so different after all! Lady Gaga Tour Info.Country Music Photo Gallery
