Kansas City, Mo. (Oct. 2, 2013) – Musical icon George Strait has announced his return to T-Mobile Center for the second leg of his final two-year tour – The Cowboy Rides Away Tour. Joining King George in Kansas City on Saturday, Jan. 18 will be Special Guest Eric Church.

Tickets for this incredible evening go on sale on Friday, Oct. 11 at 10 a.m. online at www.t-mobilecenter.com, in person at T-Mobile Center Box Office or charge-by-phone at 888.929.7849.

 “The first leg of the tour earlier this year was very fun, but also very emotional,” said Strait. “Every city and venue holds such great memories. I’m really looking forward to seeing our fans out on the road in 2014.”

Strait, who recently renewed his record deal with MCA Records during a celebration at Nashville’s Schermerhorn Symphony Center, will continue to record new music and play select dates around the country following the completion of the tour. The Cowboy Rides Away Tour will offer fans a final opportunity to see Strait’s live show filled with hits from throughout his remarkable career, including many of his 60 No. 1 hits (more than any other artist in any genre).

Additionally, Strait will receive Billboard’s Legend of Live Award in November in a ceremony in New York City. This is the magazine’s most coveted touring award, and he is the first country music artist to achieve this honor.
