GRAMMY Award-winning superstar duo SUGARLAND return to where it all began - their home state of Georgia - kicking off their STILL THE SAME 2018 TOUR tonight at James Brown Arena in Augusta. The highly anticipated headline run will crisscross its way through 49 cities in North America this summer, following the duo's impressive performances and standing ovations in the U.K. at the C2C: Country to Country festival in March. Brandy Clark and Clare Bowen will provide support from May 25th to July 14th, while Frankie Ballard and Lindsay Ell will join the lineup from July 19th through September 9th.

Returning from a hiatus that saw both Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush release critically-acclaimed solo albums, Sugarland will debut BIGGER, their first new album in eight years, via a joint venture with Big Machine Records and UMG Nashville. Bush and Nettles co-wrote nearly all of the songs on the album, with the notable exception being their new single, "Babe," featuring and written by Taylor Swift. The song is currently in the Top 30 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs Chart and at Country radio. BIGGER is now available for preorder HERE at all digital retailers ahead of its June 8th release.
BIGGER embodies the musical spirit that fans have come to expect from Sugarland, combining upbeat tracks with powerful message songs that address specific issues facing the world today and spark conversations for tomorrow. "Our hopefulness and our sparkiness and our joy are things I think we do uniquely well, especially in the country format," says Jennifer of the set's sunnier material. "We offer that in a unique way." Bush added, "My daughter is turning 13. I wondered if there was a way to help her through the world she's growing up in. There are songs on this album that are inspired by the idea of that conversation, and I hope they will speak to people of all ages, no matter who they are or what they're facing in life."
Since the band's inception in 2002, Sugarland has sold nearly 10 million albums domestically, earned seven No. 1 singles to date and amassed more than 260 million on-demand streams, making Sugarland one of the most popular Country music duos of all time.Videos
