AUGUSTA, Ga. - Carrie Underwood will perform at the James Brown Arena, Sunday May 2, 2010.

Tickets go on sale to the public Friday, December 18th at 10 am. Tickets can be purchased at the James Brown Arena Box Office, online at www.georgialinatix.com or by phone at 1-877-4AUGTIX.

“I am getting so excited about next year as we are currently working through all the big plans for the tour,” says Underwood. “I cannot wait to perform new music and see familiar faces across the U.S. and Canada!”

Underwood spent this past year writing and recording for her new album PLAY ON and performed a few select concerts. Her previous tour, 2008’s highly successful “Carnival Ride Tour” wrapped after 137 shows with 1.2 million fans in attendance.

Underwood recently launched her third album, PLAY ON, at the #1 spot on both the country and pop album sales charts and has sold over 700,000 copies in 5 weeks. The release earned the highest first-week sales of the year for any solo country artist at that point and makes Carrie the only country act in Nielsen SoundScan history to achieve first-week sales of more than 300,000 units on each of their first three albums. The feat also extends to American Idol, where the Season Four winner is the first contestant to launch three albums in a row above the 300K threshold, with her 2005 debut, Some Hearts, now seven-times Platinum, and 2007’s Carnival Ride currently triple-Platinum.

Underwood is a four-time GRAMMY winner, ACM Entertainer of the Year, a three-time CMA and three-time reigning ACM Female Vocalist winner, and a member of the Grand Ole Opry with total album sales now in excess of 11 million.

Tickets prices at $55, $45, and $35 will go on sale to the public on Friday, December 18th at 10 am. Tickets can be purchased online at www.georgialinatix.com, James Brown Arena Box Office or by phone at 1-877-4AUGTIX.
