Brad Paisley announced he will be changing the name of his upcoming world tour, which is set to begin on January 12, 2012 in Grand Rapids to "Virtual Reality World Tour" The tour was formerly called Camobunga Tour. Brad previously gave the explanation why he had named it Camobunga Tour...
“Camobunga :n; : //kam,bunga/ - The name of a live musical tour experience. A mind blowing blend of country, fiery 60's surf guitar acrobatics, futuristic special effects, retro heart and soul, and mind altering liquid beverages. The spirit of the deep woods meets the breakneck excitement of the California coast.
Brad explains the name change:
During the month of December Brad Paisley and band had several days of tour rehearsals and it was during the stage set-up and rehearsals that Paisley realized the tour begged to have a new name – “Virtual Reality World Tour 2012” presented by Chevy.
“When you see plans and sketches on paper it’s one thing but to actually see it in real life is something else, and that’s what happened to me when we were in tour rehearsals. When I saw the visuals and how exciting and sometimes mind-blowing they were I just felt the tour name needed to reflect what the fans were going to see,” says Paisley. “For two hours each night of the tour they can be taken away from reality - literally.”
The tour kicks-off next week with special guests The Band Perry and 2011 American Idol Winner Scotty McCreery. Live Nation is the national tour promoter.
