Country rocker Brantley Gilbert will take his new album on the road in 2020 with his just-announced Fire’t Up Tour headlining tour.

The news comes just weeks before Gilbert is slated to drop his much-anticipated album, Fire & Brimstone, on October 4. The 15-track record finds Gilbert collaborating with a number of country music’s finest, including Willie Nelson, Alison Krauss, Jamey Johnson, Lukas Nelson and Colt Ford. Fire & Brimstone also includes “What Happens in a Small Town,” his CMA-nominated collaboration with Lindsay Ell.

The tour was named after Gilbert’s just-released song “Fire’t Up,” which serves as the album’s rowdy opener.

Gilbert, who will soon welcome his second child with his wife Amber, is more than ready to play his new album for his fans.

“I truly feel like we’re at the point that we can let the music take us where it is meant to go, so with every new album we like to change up our show and make it something that plays to those stories and characters,” Gilbert shared in a statement. “We’ll of course still do the hits our fans love, but we are looking at this as an opportunity to turn up the heat a bit and give the songs on Fire & Brimstone a chance to really rock.”

Joining the Georgia native on the 34-date trek are country hitmakers Chase Rice and Dylan Scott (on select dates) as well as newcomer Brandon Lay.
