Longtime country music duo Brooks and Dunn told the world last year they were ending their run. Their tour dates have been announced, including a highly anticipated appearance at Country Concert 2010 in Fort Loramie July 8th. This week, the pair let us know of their final show, as reported on their website, Brooks-Dunn.com.

Brooks & Dunn and Friends - Final Date on The Last Rodeo Tour to Play Nashville as a Benefit for the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum February 25, 2010 By August 10 Nashville Performance Wraps the Duo's Final Tour Together 1 Comment

Venues Announced for Most Shows, on Sale March 6

Nashville, TN - Superstar duo Brooks & Dunn made a special appearance today during the Country Radio Seminar in Nashville to announce that the final show on their upcoming concert trek, The Last Rodeo Tour, will be Brooks & Dunn and Friends, a benefit concert for the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum. Set to take place at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on August 10, with special guests to be announced, the show will mark the concert culmination of the duo's groundbreaking 20-year career.

In sharing the news, Brooks & Dunn offered this statement: "For several years, we have tossed around ideas for the best way to make a contribution to the Museum. We have a tremendous appreciation for the road that was traveled by the great stars that came before us. Their long nights in station wagons with instruments strapped on the roofs built an industry that allowed us to cruise around in big tour buses. Our last show together will certainly be a historic point in our lives and careers, and we feel it's only right that the proceeds from this concert go to a place where all history in our business is so reverently preserved."

"The enormity of this gesture, including the endorsement it implies and the example it sets, is something the Museum's board and staff will contemplate with gratitude for a very long time," said Museum Director Kyle Young. "We are grateful to Kix and Ronnie for supporting our educational mission and for putting the Museum on the radar screen of their nation of fans. The only word for them is magnificent!"
