On the heels of her triumphant headlining return to the iconic Stagecoach Festival, eight-time Grammy Award winner and three-time ACM “Entertainer of the Year” Carrie Underwood announces her new arena tour, The Denim & Rhinestones Tour. Underwood and special guest Jimmie Allen will perform at Mohegan Sun Arena at 7:30pm on Saturday, February 11, 2023.

His third album Tulip Drive will be released June 24th.
“I’m thrilled to be hitting the road again with The Denim & Rhinestones Tour,” Underwood said. “I’m having such an amazing time with my Las Vegas residency and look forward to continuing that next year after the tour. I’m excited to bring the new music of Denim & Rhinestones to life on tour, as well as put new spins on familiar favorites.
