The CD’s first single “Sweet Thing” has already become his eighteenth Top 5 Country single.
A headliner in their own right, Sugarland is sure to perform all of their hits, including their #1’s “Who Says You Can’t Go Home,” “Settlin’,” “All I Want To Do” and their most recent #1 from their current CD Love On The Inside, “Already Gone.” The combination of talent that will take the stage in Uncasville is sure to give fans a show like no other this summer. Urban and Sugarland are currently slated to appear together on twenty other tour stops.
Sugarland (Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush) exploded onto the music scene in 2004 and with their third studio album Love On The Inside they’ve skyrocketed into superstardom.  They’ve sold over 5 million records and received trophies from the Grammys, AMAs, ACM, CMT and CMA Awards.
