Background
The tour was first announced in February 2015, through Paisley's website. Opening up for Paisley for most of the dates were Justin Moore and Mickey Guyton .[ 1] Inspiration for the tour's name comes from Paisley's current single, "Crushin' It ".[ 2] Dates for the second leg were announced on October 20, 2015.[ 3]
Concert synopsis
The show began with a thirty-second countdown clock to "happy hour", then Paisley emerges on stage. During "Time Warp", Paisley invited a young a fan to come on stage and play Mario Kart , which was shown on the video screen. For the first leg of the show Paisley sang "I'm Still a Guy" with Justin Moore and "Whiskey Lullaby" with Micky Guyton, then closed the show with both first-leg opening acts during "Alcohol".[ 4]
Stage production
The stage was two levels; back behind was sixty-foot video screen, and in the middle of the audience was B-stage. Also on stage is a functioning bar where VIP fans and contest winners can sit during the show.[ 4]
