GEORGE STRAIT TOUR DATES

Published: Jan 17, 2001

They call it the "George Strait Chevy Truck Country Music Festival" -- but you know it as one of the biggest, hottest shows in country music. Tour dates were announced Thursday for George Strait's fourth country music festival, which kicks off March 16 in Tampa, Fla., and wraps up June 10 in San Antonio, Texas.

This year's all-star lineup includes Alan Jackson, Lonestar, Lee Ann Womack, Brad Paisley, Sara Evans and Asleep At The Wheel.

"We've tried to keep it to a reasonable amount for a ticket," says George. "For all that, it's an all-day ticket. It starts at noon. We have seven acts on the main stage this year and even more in Straitland.

"That's a lot of country music."
