Little Big Town Tour Heading To Target Center

The five-time Country Music Association vocal group of the year announced Wednesday a new arena tour starting in Oklahoma City and hitting New York City, Green Bay, Minneapolis (at Target Center) and Atlanta. The quartet took a break from major touring this year for a residency at the 125-year-old theater which featured special performances and surprise guests.
