United States Run of We Are Pioneers World Tour Kicks-Off Now
Band To Perform Sunday February 2nd Live on Fox During Super Bowl Pregame Show as Part of Superbowl XLVIII
The Band Perry received two nominations this week from the Academy of Country Music for “Vocal Group of The Year” and “Music Video of The Year” for their #1 smash “Better Dig Two.” In 2012 and 2013 the band received nominations in the “Vocal Group of the Year” category. In 2011, the award-winning trio was nominated for five Academy of Country Music Awards and won “New Artist of the Year.”
“It’s such an honor to find out about our two ACM Award nominations,” said Reid Perry. “We love the theatrics that happen in Vegas, and remember, what happens in Vegas … gets broadcast on live TV.”
The 2014 Academy of Country Music Awards will be broadcast from Las Vegas on Sunday, April 6th on CBS.
Last week, the NFL and FOX announced The Band Perry would perform as part of the Super Bowl XLVIII pregame show in East Rutherford, NJ on Sunday, February 2. They will perform at the NFL Tailgate Party and part of their performance will be televised live on FOX SUPER BOWL SUNDAY.
“We’re all huge football fans, and there’s nothing more exciting than to be a part of football’s biggest day,” said Neil Perry. “We’ve been up in Canada on our We Are Pioneers World Tour for the past month, so we’re just glad it will be above zero degrees in New York!”
The Band Perry will kick off the United States run of their extraordinary We Are Pioneers World Tour tomorrow in Bangor, ME at the Cross Insurance Center. With never before seen production and a brand new set list, fans around the world have been dazzled by one of music’s hottest acts, and it’s now time to bring the show home to America. Additionally, later this summer, The Band Perry will hit the road with Blake Shelton on his Ten Times Crazier Tour 2014. The tour kicks off in June and will visit cities including Chicago, IL, Los Angeles, CA and New York, NY.
“We pride ourselves on living on the road,” said Kimberly Perry. “So when Blake called to ask us to join him of course we couldn’t say no! There’s nothing like getting to see the joy and excitement on our fans’ faces, and we can’t wait to meet new fans this summer.”

About The Band Perry
Hailed as one of the “Hardest Working Bands of 2013,” The Band Perry ~ Kimberly, Reid and Neil Perry ~ has ascended to dizzying heights since releasing their self-titled debut album on Republic Nashville in 2010, which scored the sibling trio a string of hits, including the quadruple-platinum “If I Die Young” (#1 on Billboard’s Country and AC charts); platinum “You Lie” and gold “All Your Life” (#1 Country). Fronted by Kimberly Perry and rounded out by her younger brothers Neil and Reid, the band has amassed over 10.9 million tracks sold from their platinum debut and gold sophomore release Pioneer, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Country Albums Chart and #2 All Genre. In addition to acclaim from top critics across the country, Pioneer has produced two consecutive #1 Country smashes ~ the platinum “Better Dig Two” and gold “Done.,” which earned Neil and Reid their first chart-topper as songwriters. The Band Perry has also enjoyed sold-out headlining dates and are currently out on their first global headline tour, WE ARE PIONEERS World Tour. In the past year, they have taken over the American television airwaves with unforgettable performances on the ACM, CMA, Grammy and Billboard Music Awards as well as American Idol, Good Morning America, The Today Show, Ellen, The Talk, The Arsenio Hall Show, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and The Late Show with David Letterman as well as a banner performance of “CMT Crossroads” with rockers Fall Out Boy. Their showering of honors include multiple ACM, CMA, and CMT Music Awards, as well as GRAMMY, Teen Choice, AMA, ACA, and Billboard Music Award nominations, all of which has cemented the sibling trio as one of the hottest acts in recent history.
