PEORIA -- The country music caravan, “CMT on Tour,” will make a stop at the Peoria Civic Center Arena in Peoria at 8 p.m. Nov. 30.

Headliners for this year’s tour are Sugarland, with supporting acts Little Big Town and Jake Owen.

Tickets are $34.50 and $39.50, and go on sale at 10 a.m. Oct. 13 at the Civic Center box office and area Ticketmaster outlets.

Sugarland hit the country music scene in 2004 with their platinum-selling album, “Twice the Speed of Life,” which produced the singles “Baby Girl” and “Something More.” Their current album, “Enjoy the Ride,” has already produced two No. 1 hits, “Want To” and Settlin’.”

Little Big Town’s debut CD, “The Road to Here,” also has reached platinum status. The band was named the Academy of Country Music’s Top New Vocal Group this year.

Jake Owen’s debut album, “Startin’ With Me,” released last year, produced the Top 15 hit, “Yee Haw” and the current Top 10 single, “Startin’ With Me.”

" it's supply and demand on pricing.if you quit paying 37 (or 50 or 75 or 200)for tickets,the prices will come down.the extravagant sets and staging will have to be scaled back and you'll be left with only the music ,wouldn't that be a shame? "

" Good luck with Ted Nugent at the Judy Dome. I think they were concerned if Ted could still walk. We are in the country and Sugarland is worth all of $34. I guess you could buy a CD for $15 and be kind of satisfied but my guess someone would be missing out. "

" I'd pay $15.. but $34?? This isn't Ted Nugent.. this is country! I'll save my money for real music! These stadiums need to get off this country kick they are on and get real rock and roll that people listen to in there! "

" I wish i knew where you paid 37 dollars for Kenney this summer cause i was in Chicago and paid about 80 with tax. I need your ticket broker if you are getting them for that. I saw Sugarland at the state fair and they put on a great show. Can't wait to see them again. P.S. Jennifer Nettles is so hot. "

" What is wrong with the picture? Three acts for right around the same price. Big deal. If you don't like it, don't go. "
