Tour Takes The Stage Tonight
Country star Brad Paisley revs up his Truck Still Works World Tour tonight at Azura Amphitheatre in Bonner Springs, Kansas, launching a sold-out opening weekend. The trek, named after his chart-topping single “Truck Still Works,” spans more than 30 dates across North America and select international stops, promising fans a high-octane mix of classic hits and fresh material from his latest album.
With production elements inspired by life on the road, Paisley’s stage features a full-size pickup rig as a centerpiece. In the official Instagram announcement, he shared an image of the illuminated truck set beneath neon lights, writing, “Truck Still Works World Tour kicks off tonight! We’re excited to head into this sold out weekend!” That visual instantly set the tone for a show built around tongue-in-cheek humor and heartfelt storytelling.
Support Acts Hit The Road
When tickets went on sale in January, Paisley tagged rising artists Walker Hayes, Avery Anna, Alexandra Kay and Mae Estes as his supporting lineup. On Instagram he wrote, “Truck Still Works World Tour on sale today! Can’t wait to see y’all on the road!” The announcement post highlighted each opener’s unique style—from Hayes’s upbeat country-pop hooks to Mae Estes’s soulful balladry—giving fans a taste of diverse sounds on the bill.
Walker Hayes, best known for his viral hit “Fancy Like,” will join Paisley for the bulk of the run, while emerging singer-songwriters Avery Anna and Alexandra Kay rotate select dates. Mae Estes, whose introspective writing has earned critical praise, rounds out the group. Together they transform the tour into a showcase of both established star power and new talent.
Stage Design And Fan Reactions
Paisley’s production team has leaned into the tour concept by building a stage that merges a rural roadside aesthetic with modern concert spectacle. A vintage pickup sits center stage, flanked by giant LED panels projecting road-trip footage and lyric art. Early fans at rehearsals describe a seamless blend of humor—complete with Paisley’s trademark guitar solos—and moments of genuine connection as he reflects on life, love and the open highway.
Social media buzz has been relentless. On Twitter, the hashtag #TruckStillWorksTour trended regionally as eager ticket-holders shared set-list predictions and photos of merch preorders. On Instagram Stories, Paisley posted a brief behind-the-scenes clip showing him tuning his guitar backstage, inviting viewers to count down the hours until showtime.
A Career Built On Hits And Humor
Brad Paisley’s career spans more than two decades. He’s sold over 11 million albums and won three Grammy Awards, earning a reputation for blending witty storytelling with virtuosic guitar playing. From his Grammy-winning hit “Whiskey Lullaby” to chart-toppers like “Mud on the Tires” and “Ticks,” Paisley has consistently balanced lighthearted fun with emotional depth.
He first teased the tour in January via his verified Instagram account, offering a close-up shot of his custom Gibson guitar. Fans responded immediately, pushing presale tickets to sell out within hours. His official website noted that additional dates were added in major markets—Los Angeles, New York, Nashville and Toronto—to accommodate demand.
Looking Ahead On The Road
Paisley’s itinerary takes him through amphitheaters, arenas and festival stages, with highlights including a stop at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena and a headlining slot at the Calgary Stampede. International fans will see him in London, Dublin and Sydney this fall. Each date promises an evolving set list, with Paisley hinting on social media that surprise covers and guest appearances could be part of the fun.
As the lights dim and the engine revs, country music’s consummate showman is ready to roll. The Truck Still Works World Tour isn’t just a series of concerts—it’s a full-scale road trip designed to bring fans into Paisley’s world, where every song feels like a shared memory and every chorus is a chance to sing along.
As applause rises tonight in Kansas, Paisley’s message is clear: the truck still runs, the music still drives, and the journey is only just beginning.
