MUSIC: Country star Brad Paisley to headline Dublin show

MULTI-Grammy Award winner Brad Paisley has announced a Dublin concert at 3Arena on October 13.

This is his first Dublin show since he headlined the renowned Country To Country festival two years ago. Special guest is North Carolina’s rising star Chris Lane.

 Brad Paisley is a critically acclaimed singer, songwriter, guitarist and entertainer whose talents have earned him numerous awards, including three Grammys, two American Music Awards, 14 Academy of Country Music Awards and 14 Country Music Association Awards (including Entertainer of the Year), among many others. He has also been a proud member of the Grand Ole Opry since 2001. 

 Paisley has written 21 of his 24 No 1 hits and has accumulated over 20 million worldwide album sales, track downloads and streaming equivalents. 

 His 11th studio album, ‘Love and War’, which was released in April 2017, was his ninth consecutive studio album to debut at No 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart.

Since bursting onto the scene with his breakout smash hit ‘Fix’, Chris Lane’s star continues to rise with Gold and Platinum level single certifications, two Top 10 albums and 850 million combined streams. 

 Out of the gate, his irresistible new single ‘I Don’t Know About You’ has been climbing the Country radio charts and follows the success of his hit collaboration ‘Take Back Home Girl’ with Tori Kelly. Both songs are featured on Lane's Big Loud Records sophomore album – ‘Laps Around the Sun’ – that made a chart-topping debut, landing at No 1 on the iTunes Top Country Albums chart and inside the Top 10 of Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart for the sec-ond time in his career. 

 Chris Lane has previously landed coveted opening slots on tours with Florida Georgia Line, Dustin Lynch, Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.
