Dierks Bentley Announces First Leg of 2017 What the Hell World Tour

Fresh off of his No. 1 hit “It’s Different for Girls” in September, Dierks Bentley announced his new What the Hell World Tour today (Oct. 3).

dierks3d_700x880Dierks’ tour will kick off in Dayton, Ohio, on Jan. 19, 2017, with friends Jon Pardi and Cole Swindell opening the show.

“Coming off the electricity and emotion of two nights at Red Rocks last week, it felt right to just go ahead and announce plans for next year and keep this thing rolling,” Dierks said in a statement. “There’s a song on my album called ‘What the Hell Did I Say’ and it seemed like an appropriate title for a tour with Cole and Pardi. I have a feeling I’ll be asking myself that question the morning after many of our shows and late night hangs because you really don’t know what will happen when the three of us get together. There has been a lot of drunk calls and texts between all of us over the last year trying to make this tour happen, and I’m excited we were able to pull it off.

Sounds like one heck of a party. Dierks will take the first leg of his tour through 23 cities, including a first-ever headlining stop at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Jan. 21.

Pre-sale tickets for select dates, including Nashville, go on sale tomorrow (Oct. 4), with the first public on-sale date scheduled for Friday, Oct. 7, at dierks.com and livenation.com.
