Dierks notes that he enjoys being a headliner but is also looking forward to being an opening act for Brad. “Everyone’s just done such a great job of building up our own headlining tour,” Dierks tells Dial-Global. “It’s growing and it’s great, but it’s also a good time to come back and take a little time away from it and see what else is out there before we go back out and do it again.” Darius Rucker and Crystal Shawanda will also be part of the tour, which kicks off Jan. 15 in Southaven, Miss.
