Tim McGraw, Faith Hill announce joint tour for 2017

NASHVILLE, Oct. 5 (UPI) -- Superstar couple Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are gearing up for a new joint tour.

The married country stars revealed at their debut performance at Ryman Auditorium on Tuesday that they will kick off their third Soul2Soul tour in April.

"Okay, so we are going back on the road, on tour," Hill told the audience. "We are going to go from side to side, south to north, all the way around the globe."

McGraw and Hill embarked on their first Soul2Soul tour in 2000 and kicked off the second in 2006. Soul2Soul II earned over $100 million, making it the highest-grossing country tour of all time.

The new Soul2Soul will begin Apr. 7 in New Orleans, La., and come to a close Aug. 4 in Nashville, Tenn. Presale tickets will start Friday, with the rest of the tickets to be made available in waves.

McGraw and Hill will celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary Thursday. The couple share three daughters, Gracie, Maggie and Audrey, and were named key advisors for The Voice Season 11 this week.

"Who better to help guide our artists at this critical point than the first couple of country music, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw," NBC Entertainment alternative and reality group president Paul Telegdy said in a statement.

McGraw released his 14th studio album, Damn Country Music, in November, which includes the singles "Top of the World" and "Humble and Kind." Hill, meanwhile, last released the holiday album Joy to the World in 2008.
