Lady Antebellum Calls Upcoming Nashville Arena Show 'One of Those Milestone Moments' — billboard.com

Close to a decade ago, the trio of Lady Antebellum got their start playing at Nashville hotspot 3rd and Lindsley. After all those years, and 12 singles in the top 10 of the Billboard Country Airplay charts, Charles Kelley, Hillary Scott and Dave Haywood have earned the right to take their show four blocks away -- to Nashville's biggest concert venue, the Bridgestone Arena. The trio sat down with the media Monday to discuss their Wheels Up tour, which will feature their first major headlining stop in Music City on Sept. 11. "We've talked about doing this for the longest time, and it's always a scary thing," Kelley admitted. "Nashville is very much industry-heavy, obviously, and we know there are going to be a lot of our peers there. You want to make sure that you're ready and you're in a point at your career where you can fill it up. We felt like we've had such an amazing year with 'Bartender,' and to have these two amazing openers in Sam Hunt and Hunter Hayes, this was the year to come out swinging. We just want to put on a good show. We've done some of the smaller venues like the Ryman, but to go out and do Bridgestone is one of those milestone moments."
