According to the man himself, the ‘Camobunga! 2012 World Tour’ has been renamed to the ‘Virtual Reality World Tour 2012′ to reflect more accurately the kind of experience in store for Paisley’s fans. 

“When you see plans and sketches on paper it’s one thing but to actually see it in real life is something else, and that’s what happened to me when we were in tour rehearsals,” Paisley said. “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.”

I’m sure his production and marketing people are in a tailspin, but the fans could care less. Except for me. I’m ecstatic at the name change - camobunga was just dumb. And I’m ecstatic about the opening acts, The Band Perry and Scotty McCreery. The show is guaranteed to amaze, so don’t miss your chance to see Brad Paisley live starting January 12 through March 17 at venues across the country.

“That ain’t ‘Mountain Music.’ This is,” Owen said, according to a Pollstar.com interview.

From there, the country stars moved on to “Old Alabama,” Paisley’s No. 1 hit from his latest album, This Is Country Music.

“I just realized there’s nothing off-limits as far as topics go in country music,” Paisley said in the same interview. “Nothing’s too small in your life to write about. From a toothbrush to spiritual questions to difficulty, drinking, cheating - those are bigger things - sunbathing, you know what I mean? Nothing’s off-limits. We say that very clearly in our music.”

With some help from fellow stars like Blake Shelton, Carrie Underwood, Sheryl Crow, Marty Stuart and Don Henly, Paisley debuted his May 2011 album with hits like “Remind Me,” “Love Her Like She’s Leavin,” “Don’t Drink the Water” and “Life’s Railway to Heaven.”

Don’t miss out on seeing these new hits live with Brad Paisley tickets to a show in your area. He’s got upcoming gigs all over the U.S., like July 15 at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, N.J.; Pizza Hut Park in Frisco, Texas on July 30; and the Columbus Crew Stadium in Columbus on Aug. 7.

The tour is aptly named given the stops he’ll be making in the dead of winter, including Green Bay, Wis., Evansville, Ind., and a string of dates in Canada, such as Montreal and Ottawa - all in January. Brrrrrr! Fortunately, Darius Rucker is coming back on the road again to help warm up the audiences.

That’s what Brad Paisley had to say upon announcing his ‘H2O World Tour’ on March 22nd, which is the date designated by the United Nations General Assembly as “World Water Day.” Paisley used the occasion to break the news about his upcoming tour, and to draw attention to the critical global water issues that spawned the annual observance.

Water will definitely be the central theme of Brad’s next outing, which begins May 21st in Virginia Beach. The tour will feature a “‘Water World Plaza” complete with fishing simulator and dunking booth, as well as the “Water World Plaza Stage,” where emerging artists will have the chance to showcase their music.

Darius Rucker and Justin Moore will be the special guests on the tour. Hope Through Healing Hands and Chevy are the partners for the ‘Water World Plaza.’
