NASHVILLE, Tenn. (July 19, 2010)  Brad Paisley took his H2O World Tour to Chicago this past Friday and played to a sold-out crowd of over 25,000, making it the second consecutive year that he has sold out First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre.  The following evening the tour went down the road to Moline and performed before another capacity crowd.

Saturday evening Paisley made a surprise appearance during Josh Thompson’s set on the Water World stage and played Merle Haggard’s “Ramblin’ Fever” with him.  More than 5,000 fans were already in the Water World Plaza and enjoyed the unexpected treat.

The H2O World Tour continues later this week with shows in Toronto (Thursday), Cleveland (Friday), Saratoga Springs (Saturday) and Harrington, DE on Sunday.
