Justin Moore to embark on his first headlining tour

After opening tours for Rascal Flatts, Brad Paisley, Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert and Eric Church, Justin Moore will embark on his first headlining run, dubbed the Outlaws Like Me tour. The 12-city, small market outing will kick off March 14 in Pikeville, Ky., and run through April 20. Dustin Lynch (“Cowboys And Angels”) and newcomer Jon Pardi will open the shows.

“Man, I’m excited to be headlining our first tour,” Moore says in a media release. “Over the last few years I have been out with some of the best artists in our genre and I have learned so much from each of them. I’m ready to take everything they have taught me to build our show. It’s going to be a blast.”

Moore, who is best known for his No. 1 hits “Small Town USA,” “If Heaven Wasn’t So Far Away,” and “Til My Last Day,” spent more than 200 days on the road last year as an opening act, playing to more than 1.5 million fans. His third album is due out later this year.
