In honor of their 25th anniversary as a multi-platinum GRAMMY® Award-winning four-piece band, Little Big Town has announced that they are hitting the road for a brand-new U.S. tour dubbed the Take Me Home Tour. Joining them are longtime friends and collaborators, Sugarland, as special guests.
The big news came after band members Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Phillip Sweet, and Jimi Westbrook reunited with Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush of Sugarland on stage of the 2024 CMT Music Awards. On Sunday, April 7, the powerhouse groups delivered a rendition of their newest collaborative release, “Take Me Home.”
Putting Their Own Spin On This Phil Collins’ 1985 Hit
The song that inspired the name of their upcoming tour is a cover of the legendary Phil Collins’ 1985 tune that appears on his No Jacket Required album. While Little Big Town and Sugarland made the track their own with a fresh new meaning, they maintained the familiar intensity and emotion behind the lyrics.
Little Big Town explained that this performance felt like a “real homecoming” and a “full circle moment” as it takes them back to their previous days of touring with Sugarland. Plus, it’s not the first time the group’s joined forces on the CMT Music Awards. Little Big Town and Sugarland first came together for a musical collaboration at the fan-voted award show in 2008, when they joined Jake Owen in singing the Dream Academy’s hit “Life in a Northern Town.”
This year’s appearance also marked Sugarland’s long-awaited reunion and their first CMT performance since 2011.
“When we toured with Sugarland last, we would all be backstage harmonizing different cover songs to try and surprise the audience every night. There’s something about this song that feels so nostalgic of that time. It really is like coming home,” says Little Big Town. “The Take Me Home tour feels like a celebration of being a band for 25 years and we’re so excited to throw this party with our great friends Sugarland. We’ll both be playing all our biggest hits and then some. Can’t wait to see everyone!”
