On This Day In 2007, Sugarland Kicked Off Their First Headlining Tour With Jake Owen & Little Big Town

It’s hard to believe that it’s only been four years since Sugarland started headlining concerts. It seems like they’ve been headlining for much longer. But, on this day back in 2007, they kicked off their first headling tour with Jake Owen and Little Big Town at the North Charleston Coliseum in South Carolina. That tour spawned some very cool collaborations with their opening acts like this one covering Def Leppard’s Pour Some Sugar On Me. Enjoy!
