LADY ANTEBELLUM TO BRING THEIR HEADLINING TAKE ME DOWNTOWN TOUR 2013 TO TARGET CENTER ON DECEMBER 5

*Please note the new show time of 7pm, as well as ticket pricing information.

September 13, 2013 Seven-time GRAMMY award-winning trio Lady Antebellum announced today that their headlining TAKE ME DOWNTOWN TOUR 2013 will roll into Minneapolis at Target Center on December 5, 2013. The group has invited Kip Moore and Kacey Musgraves to join the arena tour. Beginning at 10 AM on September 20,

fans can purchase tickets at Target Centers Box Office and special VIP experiences at www.cidentertainment.com/ladyantebellum.

We spent almost every day last year backstage writing for our album GOLDEN, so we were really focused on writing songs that would connect with the fans in these arenas. We definitely learned a lot about ourselves as live performers and the type of catalog we wanted to have so that we could go out and try to give the fans the best show they've ever experienced," explains Lady A's Charles Kelley. "All of that was the jumping off point for this tour, and now it's time to take it to the next level."

Last year, Lady A hosted over one million fans across the globe in 11 countries on their first headlining world tour, which earned them Billboard Tourings Breakthrough Award, CMAs International Artists Achievement Award and will accept the Jim Reeves International Award at this falls ACM Honors. The shows were inspirational and critics praised the bands youthful exuberance and unending energy.

The harmony-based trio Lady Antebellum continues to reaffirm the very beginnings of Lady Antebellum by focusing on deft songwriting and fresh uses of their talents, which was at the heart of what drew them together in the first place. Since its 2006 inception, Lady A has won the Vocal Group of the Year honor from both the CMA and from the ACMs three times in a row and sold over 11 million albums worldwide. The trio has taken seven trips to No. one on the country radio charts, earned five Platinum singles including their recent Downtown and has been awarded with seven GRAMMY awards including the all-genre Record of the Year and Song of the Year. And in September, the band was nominated for two 2013 CMA Awards--Vocal Group of the Year and Video of the Year. In the end, the mix of their road experiences, songwriting and creative partnership have allowed the magic to remain - because they have kept the focus on the music.

Platinum-selling artist Kip Moores recent No. one hit Hey Pretty Girl follows two consecutive No. one songs off his debut album UP ALL NIGHT, which was the best selling debut album from any country artist released last year. His first No. one single, Somethin Bout A Truck, held the top spot on both charts for two weeks making him the first solo artist in four years to have a debut albums first single go No. one for multiple weeks. He has already sold out dozens of headlining shows this year, often in just minutes. Moores career reached another milestone as he just received his first CMA nomination for 2013 New Artist of the Year.

Nashville-based singer/songwriter, Kacey Musgraves released her debut album Same Trailer Different Park this past spring to massive critical acclaim and recognition. The album debuted at No. one on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart making her the first solo female in five years to open at No. one with a rookie release. Shes received ACM, CMT and Teen Choice Award nominations and her Top 10 single "Merry Go 'Round" was recently certified Gold. Musgraves struck career gold when she was just nominated for six 2013 Country Music Association Awards, including Album of the Year and

Female Vocalist of the Year.
