(July 9, 2019) – Even with her debut performance at the legendary Glastonbury Festival as a key highlight, there were no shortage of memorable moments on multi-platinum, seven-time Grammy Award-winning superstar Carrie Underwood’s THE CRY PRETTY TOUR UK, which concluded a successful arena run on July 4 at London’s famed Wembley Arena.
 
The tour kicked off June 28 in Birmingham, England and brought Underwood’s dynamic production and signature vocal prowess to thousands of fans throughout England, Wales and Scotland with five arena shows. Fans traveled from around the world – England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Germany, France, Spain, Belgium, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Holland, Australia, Singapore, Israel, Slovenia, Iraq, Canada, the U.S. and more – to attend the UK the shows. THE CRY PRETTY TOUR UK also featured the UK’s best-selling country act of all time, The Shires, as Underwood’s special guest.
 
One of the standout moments of the tour was Underwood’s milestone performance at Glastonbury Festival’s iconic Pyramid Stage – which was seen around the world online – and hailed a “triumphant debut” and “itself a true testament to the popularity and quality of [Underwood]” by the Manchester Evening News – where Underwood joined an all-star line-up on the main stage for this year’s festival that also included Janet Jackson, The Killers, Hozier, The Cure, Bastille, Vampire Weekend and Kylie Minogue, among others.
 
Glastonbury Festival is regarded as one of the largest performing arts festivals in the world and is known for attracting top acts from every musical genre. In its near 50 year history, the festival has only welcomed a handful of US country artists, and even fewer to perform on the celebrated main stage, including Dolly Parton and Johnny Cash.
 
Performing on June 29 under sunny skies to a huge crowd, whose enthusiasm was especially shown during Underwood’s performance of her smash hit “Before He Cheats.” Watch the incredible performance HERE. The Scottish Sun hailed the performance as “spectacular” while The Guardian praised Underwood’s commanding stage presence, musicianship, deep catalogue and broader musical impact:
 
“On ‘Cowboy Casanova,’ she pulls off a battering vocal run that makes its vengeful sentiment (“You better run for your life”) even more brilliantly menacing…she’s often found standing atop a black pyramid, contributing electric and acoustic guitar to her eight-piece band’s brawny chug. It’d be easy to approach Underwood with preconceptions… but there’s an unapologetic libidinousness and femininity to her songs that earns her a place in country’s outlaw lineage, bringing the margins of women’s lives into a genre that has, recently, sought to sideline their experiences despite them being foundational country touchstones.”
 
Underwood’s THE CRY PRETTY TOUR 360 will resume in North America on September 10 in San Diego, CA and travel through cities such as Los Angeles, CA (STAPLES Center); Nashville, TN (Bridgestone Arena); New York City, NY (Madison Square Garden) and Chicago, IL (United Center) before concluding on October 31 in Detroit, MI. Underwood will once again be joined by special guests Maddie & Tae and Runaway June for an all female bill on all dates of the tour, sponsored by CALIA and promoted by AEG Presents. The first leg of the tour wrapped in June 2019 after more than 25 dates across North America. For more information regarding THE CRY PRETTY TOUR 360, go to https://www.carrieunderwoodofficial.com.

Of the final show on this leg, the Lincoln Journal Star declared: “There can’t be a better arena show on the road than the spectacle Carrie Underwood brought to Pinnacle Bank Arena…[she] is the reigning queen of country.”
 
Underwood is also the current cover star and #1 reason of PEOPLE Magazine’s annual “100 Reasons to Love America” issue, on stands now (https://bit.ly/2KCrtYl).
 
THE CRY PRETTY TOUR 360 has consistently garnered both critical and fan acclaim for its innovative production and stage design in the middle of the arena floor to create an intimate view for all attendees, Underwood’s standout vocal performances, and interactivity – such as featuring a winner of the tour’s ongoing contest, wherein fans submit stories about what Underwood’s hit anthem, The Champion, means to them for the chance to join her on stage and perform the rap originated by Ludacris on the platinum track.
 
The show utilizes 36 projectors and 19 video projection screens, with 15 stage elevators and over 400 moving lights. Throughout the set, Underwood can be seen playing acoustic and electric guitar, piano and percussion at various times with her talented 8-piece band, who play 22 different types of instruments, 45 in total.
 
“The 360 production is second to none. Underwood’s 360 stage is a work of art…” – ROLLING STONE
 
“An artist that both entertains and inspires, Underwood’s Cry Pretty Tour 360 cements her entertainer of the year status.” – BILLBOARD

 
“The two-hour show of back-to-back-to-back hits is as significant for being an all-female bill as it is for Underwood’s always cutting edge production, very physical performance and her full-throttle vocals.” – POLLSTAR
 
Next up, Underwood will head across the pond for her UK arena tour, THE CRY PRETTY TOUR UK, which will include an appearance on the storied Pyramid Stage at the legendary Glastonbury Festival on June 29, joining an all-star line-up that weekend that also includes Janet Jackson, The Killers, Hozier, The Cure, Bastille, Vampire Weekend, Sheryl Crow, Kylie Minogue and many others.

“…a cascade of tunes that showcased her hits, new and old.  Throughout the course of the concert, Underwood sounded fantastic, looked fabulous and ensured that this girl’s night out was one heck of a good time.”  VANCOUVER SUN
 “Underwood’s voice left nothing to be desired; it was on and it was powerful.” VANCOUVER WEEKLY

 “Carrie Underwood charmed the crowd in Saskatoon on Friday night,
bringing her signature powerhouse vocals and a stage show full of fireworks,
projector screens and glitter.  Underwood’s stage presence deserves praise, as it
perfectly accompanied the power she has in her voice.”  SASKATOON STAR PHOENIX

“There was no crying, pretty or otherwise, to be seen at Carrie Underwood’s concert at Rogers Place on Tuesday night.  Instead there were lasers, spotlights, hard rock guitars, a breakdancing DJ who played mashups in between sets, and as many clothing changes as a Cher concert. Hard rock to classic country, rapping to synth balladry, Underwood managed to fit it all in a just-over-two-hours, girl-power-flavoured concert.”  EDMONTON JOURNAL

Carrie Underwood continues her spectacular new arena tour, THE CRY PRETTY TOUR 360, with consecutive sold-out shows this week at Moda Center in Portland, OR; Spokane Arena in Spokane, WA and tonight at the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, WA.  Underwood is joined by special guests Maddie & Tae and Runaway June on THE CRY PRETTY TOUR 360, which is playing 55+ arenas across the U.S. and Canada, sponsored by CALIA and promoted by AEG Presents.

Underwood made a brief stop in Los Angeles between concerts to perform her new hit single, “Southbound,” on the grand finale of “American Idol.”  The feel-good, high-energy tune opens Underwood’s show on tour and is quickly shaping up to be one of the hottest songs of the summer (https://bit.ly/2K0Tsjn). She will take another short break in the tour schedule for upcoming appearances at the Grand Ole Opry (June 4), CMT Music Awards (performing and nominated for two awards on June 5) and headlining at CMA Fest 2019 (June 7), before additional shows in the U.S. and The Cry Pretty Tour UK in late June and early July. THE CRY PRETTY TOUR 360 continues in North America in September and October.

In addition to attracting sold-out crowds, Underwood and THE CRY PRETTY TOUR 360 are garnering rave reviews:

“The 360 production is second to none.  Underwood’s 360 stage is a work of art, 
as it features an incredible hydraulic system that lifts up nearly half the stage…
You could almost say you’re getting a show and a movie, all in one night.”  ROLLING STONE

“An artist that both entertains and inspires, Underwood’s Cry Pretty Tour 360 cements her entertainer of the year status.”  BILLBOARD

“Largely sold out, in some cases almost a year in advance, the two-hour show of back-to-back-to-back hits is as significant for being an all-female bill as it is for Underwood’s always cutting edge production, very physical performance and her full-throttle vocals.”  POLLSTAR

“In addition to her innovative staging, Underwood is a leader when it comes to supporting other female artists on tour, part of a trend of women creating networks for each other in the gaps where the industry is letting them down or outright obstructing their potential progress.”  ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

“The seven-time Grammy winner is an energetic performer, typically sprinting around and singing from all sides of the stage and blowing away fans with her impressive vocal chops…In a year when no women were nominated for entertainer of the year at the ACMs, Underwood — who has won that award twice — has a chance to prove that women deserve to be in that category again.”  ASSOCIATED PRESS

“It’s not a man’s world any longer. This is Carrie Underwood’s EOTY Tour.”  TASTE OF COUNTRY

“The vibrant and captivating stage production was matched only by the intensity of Underwood’s 
hallmark voice…It was hard to miss that the show was a celebration of women, 
along with their triumphs and struggles, whether they are fighting to be heard on country radio,
or whether they are facing battles of a more personal nature.”  MUSIC ROW
