NASHVILLE, TN (CelebrityAccess MediaWire) — Brad Paisley kicks-off his “H20 World Tour” this weekend with performances at Virginia Beach on May 21 and Washington DC on May 22.
Paisley is partnered with Hope Through Healing Hands’ campaign for clean safe water, and the tour aims to draw attention to and raise money for the global cause of clean water. With the funds raised through the H20 World Tour, HTHH will be digging wells and purifying water in America and around the world according to The Examiner.
Since the Nashville flooding devastation hit the rehearsal hall and storage facilities on May 3, the day when rehearsals were scheduled to begin, Paisley and his team have been regrouping by taking inventory and recovering salvageable equipment while refurbishing and ordering new necessities. According to The Examiner, Paisley was finally able to rehearse late last week when he and his crew obtained an alternate rehearsal hall.
H2O World Tour will include a “Water World Plaza,” sponsored by Skinny Water and Sea Ray Boats, and will turn every city into a water festival. Focal point in the Plaza area will be the “Water World Plaza Stage” featuring emerging new stars Easton Corbin, Steel Magnolia and Josh Thompson. The tour extravaganza will open each day at 4:00pm with music starting at 5:00pm. In addition to the music stage there will be multiple water-themed activities – including a Chevy H2O FLW fishing simulator, dunking booth, Hope Through Healing Hands’ campaign booth, and more according to The Examiner.
H2O World Tour will hit more than 75 cities in the United States, Canada and Europe over the next 12 months. Chevy is title sponsor for the tour. Special guests will be Darius Rucker and Justin Moore.
