Little Big Town are heading back on the road. The multi-platinum, Grammy-winning country group have unveiled the routing for their For The Art Of It Tour, a North American run supporting their forthcoming album ‘It’s A Dying Art.’
The band, made up of Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Phillip Sweet, and Jimi Westbrook, kick things off September 24 at St. Petersburg, Florida’s Duke Energy Center for the Arts – Mahaffey Theater. The trek threads through Atlanta, Boston, Philadelphia, Dallas, Houston, Chicago and more, before wrapping November 22 at Toronto’s storied Massey Hall.
The tour celebrates a milestone release. ‘It’s A Dying Art,’ the band’s 12th studio album, arrives August 28 via MCA, co-produced by Karen Fairchild and two-time GRAMMY winner Gena Johnson, whose résumé includes work with Jason Isbell, Dolly Parton and Brandi Carlile.
The record leans into the sound and spirit of human-made music, embracing imperfection, emotion and lived experience. It blends intimate storytelling and emotional balladry with standout collaborations from friends including Ashley Monroe, Jason Isbell and Kelsea Ballerini. That commitment to warmth and craft makes this one of the band’s most personal statements yet.
Little Big Town debuted the lead track “Hey There Sunshine” at the 61st Academy of Country Music Awards, earning praise from The Tennessean, which called it a hopeful, healing moment. The album also features the breakup song “Over and Over.”

An artist presale begins Tuesday, June 9 at 12:00 PM local time, with additional presales running through the week ahead of the general on-sale, which starts Friday, June 12 at 10:00 AM local time at LiveNation.com.
