Dierks Bentley‘s ’90s-inspired band Hot Country Knights shared details today about their upcoming new One Knight Stand Tour that launches April 7 in San Diego. This marks the first nationwide headlining trek for the Knights, who will take artists Hannah Dasher, Tenille Townes, Rachel Wammack and Lainey Wilson along for the fun-filled ride.

The 13-city trek includes stops at Los Angeles’ Wiltern Theater, Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, and what is sure to be an unforgettable night at the Talladega Superspeedway. The band recently inked a deal with Bentley’s label home UMG Nashville.

“The Knights started as a live band playing at a little place called Teasers on ‘Two for Tuesdays,’ and they just couldn’t get enough of us down there in Murfreesboro. We’ve got a little money now, so Barry did some work on the van. We got a few little outstanding legal issues handled so we are free and clear to cross state lines again,” explained Bentley’s alter ego Doug Douglason. “Yeah baby, the Knights are riding again!”

Citi is the official presale credit card of the tour, and as such, Citi cardmembers will have access to purchase pre-sale tickets through Citi Entertainment beginning Tuesday, Feb. 4. Tickets to the general public go on sale next Friday, Feb. 7, and a VVVIP package is available for $99 which will include a once-in-a-KNIGHT-time experience where fans will be dazzled with a dance lesson from the band, as well as early entry to the venues, exclusive merchandise items and more.

The HC Knights also recently released the modern-day drifter’s lament, “Asphalt” and will perform the tune on Jimmy Kimmel Live! this Monday, Feb. 3 at 10:35 p.m. CT on ABC, marking their national TV debut.
