Clint Black Gears Up for Back on the Blacktop Tour in Georgia and Tennessee

Clint Black Rolls Into Georgia And Tennessee

Country music veteran Clint Black is taking his signature Back on the Blacktop tour to the Deep South this weekend. On Instagram, he shared, “Back on the Blacktop for shows in Rome, GA at @forumrivercenter & Petros, TN at @historicbrushymountain this weekend. Who’s coming?” Fans are responding in droves as the singer-songwriter revisits two classic venues.

What’s On The Blacktop This Weekend?

Black will headline Rome, Georgia’s Forum River Center on Friday night, a sleek riverside complex known for its mix of touring acts and community events. The following evening, he moves on to Petros, Tennessee’s Historic Brushy Mountain Amphitheater, an open-air venue nestled in the Cumberland Mountains that offers a rustic concert experience under the stars.

Back On The Blacktop: A Cross‐country Run

The Back on the Blacktop tour revival kicked off earlier this fall, reaching stops in Madison, Wisconsin, Battle Creek, Michigan, and New Haven, Kentucky. In an October Instagram post, Black teased, “Gearing up for a busy weekend – Back on the Blacktop in Madison, Battle Creek, MI & New Haven, KY. Who’s coming to a show!?” That run sold out quickly, prompting additional dates and underscoring the appetite for intimate, hometown-style performances from a country legend.

Touring With Roots In His Breakthrough Era

Since his 1989 debut with Killin’ Time, Clint Black has racked up more than 20 top-ten singles and earned numerous CMA and ACM awards. Hits like “A Better Man” and “Killin’ Time” remain concert staples. The Back on the Blacktop concept nods to Black’s early days on the road, when he and his band crisscrossed America in tour buses and pickup trucks, building grassroots followings in small-town venues.

Fan Culture And Ticket Info

Tickets for both Rome and Petros shows went on sale in August, with presale sign-ups made available through the artist’s official page. Fans are encouraged to secure seating in advance: the Forum River Center’s 3,500-seat hall can sell out, while Brushy Mountain’s amphitheater capacity is limited to preserve its open-air ambiance.

As Clint Black rolls into Georgia and Tennessee, audiences can expect a tight mix of chart-toppers, heartfelt ballads, and the guitarist’s trademark storytelling. The weekend marks another chapter in a career that has spanned more than three decades and shows no signs of slowing.

Whether you’re a lifelong fan or new to Black’s catalog, these two shows on the Back on the Blacktop tour promise a slice of authentic country music hospitality under polished stage lights and open-sky backdrops. Don’t miss your chance to catch a modern legend in an up-close setting this weekend.

Trivia

Clint Black has released over ten studio albums and has sold more than 20 million records worldwide.
