Brad Paisley Changes Tour Name

Brad Paisley’s 2012 Tour Name Gets A New Look. Brad Paisley announced last Fall that his 2012 world tour would bear the name The Camobunga! 2012 World Tour. After getting together with his band and doing a few rehearsals though, he has decided that he needed a different title for the designs he had sketched and the experience he wants his fans to have. “When I saw the visuals and how exciting and sometimes mind-blowing they were I just felt the tour name needed to reflect what the fans were going to see. For two hours each night of the tour they can be taken away from reality – literally.” -Brad Paisley So, the new tour title is now the Brad Paisley Virtual Reality World Tour 2012. It’s definitely a change from the original title, and after hearing his comments, I am super curious. Paisley is know for putting on amazing concerts, and I have no doubt this will be a great one. All other aspects of the tour remain the same. No dates have been changed, and it is still sponsored by Chevy. Also, The Band Perry and Scotty McCreery are still joining Paisley.
