\"\"George Strait Extends His \u201c2 Nights of Number 1\u2019s\u201d to July 28-29<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Following right on the boot heels of his wildly successful Two Nights of Number 1\u2019s at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas earlier this month, the King of Country George Strait<\/a> announced that directly due to the overwhelming fan reaction, he will continue the concept of playing his record-setting collection of 60 Number One hits again in July.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u201cBack when we announced 2 Nights of Number 1\u2019s, I said if the fans wanted to hear more, we would look at it,\u201d says Strait, who has won every honor in the format from a GRAMMY Award for Best Country Album to multiple ACM and CMA Awards for Entertainer of the Year plus a coveted place in the Country Music Hall of Fame. \u201cWell, we heard them loud and clear. This is something they want more of, so that\u2019s what they will get.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Strait debuted the unprecedented two nights of No. 1\u2019s during his recent T-Mobile Arena shows on April 7th-8th. With an unmatched 60 singles hitting the top of the charts during the span of his career and more than 280,000 fans streaming Strait\u2019s 60 #1 Hits playlist on Spotify every month, Strait wanted to showcase these radio hits plus several fan-favorites such as \u201cTroubadour\u201d that, surprisingly to many, never reached No. 1.<\/p>\n

\"\"He did it by playing 30 No. 1 hits on April 7th and 30th No. 1 hits on April 8, in addition to those \u201ccan\u2019t miss\u201d classics from the early hits like \u201cFool Hearted Memory\u201d and \u201cYou Look So Good In Love\u201d to more recent hits including \u201cRiver of Love\u201d and \u201cI Saw God Today\u201d \u2013 and the 56 No. 1\u2019s in between.<\/p>\n

Strait stepped away from touring in 2014 with The Cowboy Rides Away Tour, culminating with a Texas-sized farewell concert at AT&T Stadium near Dallas that drew a record-setting attendance of 104,793. In 2015, he revealed that he would perform a limited series of exclusive, worldwide engagements at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas that commenced with a pair of at-capacity shows in April 2016 with fellow Texan Kacey Musgraves. In November, it was announced that the unparalleled, sold-out series would continue through 2017, including his most recent dates with GRAMMY-nominated singer\/songwriter Cam.<\/p>\n

\"\"Strait may have closed the book on touring, but the exclusive engagements at T-Mobile Arena provide him with a new page and the ability to connect with fans on his terms and create concert experiences that stay fresh and compelling. Rolling Stone called the historical 2 Nights of Number 1\u2019s shows \u201cextraordinary\u201d and the Las Vegas Review-Journal duly noted that \u201cStrait receives something like 10 standing ovations around the venue every night.\u201d<\/p>\n

Upcoming dates include:
\nFriday, July 28, 2017
\nSaturday, July 29, 2017
\nFriday, Sept. 1, 2017
\nSaturday, Sept. 2, 2017
