Lady Antebellum announced details today for the "Ocean 2020" tour launching on May 21, 2020 in Albuquerque at the Isleta Amphitheater. Named after their Ocean album, Lady A has tapped guests Jake Owen and Maddie & Tae as they take the tour nationwide this summer.

Charles Kelley said, "After our Vegas residency and working on this record for the past year we are itching to get back out on the road and see how the fans gravitate to some of the deeper cuts off of Ocean. We've missed those huge crowd sing-alongs and we are looking forward to having Jake Owen and Maddie & Tae light up the stage every night. May can't come fast enough."

In preparation for the tour, Lady A brought Jake Owen as well as Maddie & Tae to Nashville's Santa's Pub to road-test nostalgic cover songs which turned into a competition.
