Lady Antebellum Makes First Trip To the UK

August 5, 2010
« Back to News Listing

 

After topping international charts on four different continents, GRAMMY Award winning Lady Antebellum will head to Europe next week for their first headlining show at London’s famed Shepherd’s Bush Empire on Wed., Aug. 11.  The concert is already sold out!
 
“We’ve been looking forward to going to the UK ALL summer,” says Hillary.  “I wish we are able to stay a little longer and travel around, but this will at least be a great introduction for us to the new fans and friends we are making over there.” 
 
Lady A's International reach has widened considerably with their smash single “Need You Now” claiming the No. one spot in Mexico, New Zealand, Switzerland and Brazil and top five status in more than 20 countries including France, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Finland, Norway and Israel.  Their second album has also climbed to the Top 10 on the album sales charts in the UK, Ireland, Holland, Japan, New Zealand and South Africa, surpassing GOLD status in New Zealand and South Africa. 
 
Back in the States, NEED YOU NOW is the biggest selling album in all genres in 2010, tallying 2.5 million sales in just six months.  When they return, Lady Antebellum will perform on Good Morning America live from Central Park on Aug. 27 before kicking off their first US headlining tour on Sept. 20 in Orlando, Fl.

Welcome to England!

Really looking forward to the LA London concert on weds. I'm so glad American country groups/ singers are starting to perform over here at long last. I love your music!
While you're over in the UK, don't forget to try "fish & chips with mushy peas" and a mug of propper tea lol :)
Lots of love,

I think it's really cool that

I think it's really cool that they are branching out on where they go! That will really make them popular with a lot more fans, and also have a bigger fan base!

Words Fail Me

Guys, thank you. I've just received my 'meet & greet' e-mail. I am stunned. I'm absolutely thrilled to be seeing your show at what is one of London's best venues to see a gig, but to be able to personally thank you for producing one of my favourite albums in way too long is just mindblowing. I hope you have a fantastic time in London while you're over here, and I hope you have an incredible show...I know I will. Jerry xx

You Guys were awesome but Im so disappointed!

I am such a huge fan, and last night was AWESOME! I suffer with fybro myalgia and have panic attacks but i braved it all to make it! I stood for hours to get in and could only get standing seats so I stood through the gig, I was in soooo much pain when we left but I was desperate to meet you guys and get an autograph so we waited nearly 2 more hours to meet you and then we were told you had left :( Im so disappointed, because I was in so much pain and was so desperate to meet you guys! Im so glad uve made it over here, as you will see, you are loved, and we'd love you back soon! You are fantastic live and well worth all the pain! But please tell me how theres a way i can get an autograph or something?! xxxxx

GUTTED I couldn't make it to

GUTTED I couldn't make it to the concert last week - hurry back soon and come to Scotland this time too!!!

Sadly, missed the London concert

Sadly I was on holiday and missed you guys. I knew you'd make it in the UK. They are calling 'Lookin for A Good Time' the updated version of CSN&Y 'Love the One You're With'. You need to get on the Bob Harris, Radio 2 Programme or link with Jools Holland over here for more exposure. You are even on the play list on Virgin Atlantic flights---very subtle Lady A. When are you back to England again?

Ilse3972's picture

European Tour?

I hope to see you soon in Holland! Is there a chance that you are going to give a concert there?
