Background and Band Against Cancer

edit

The tour was first announced in May 2017.[1] The 2018 leg was announced in November 2017.[2]

For this tour Paisley has teamed up with the Sarah Cannon the Cancer Institute of HCA to "Band Against Cancer". At every show concert there will be onsite resources where concert goers can "askSARAH" (the institute's hotline) questions. At the show fans can purchase Paisley's album Love and War for $15, and as part of "get one, give one", when they buy a copy, they can send a copy to a cancer patient for an additional $15.[3]
