Hill, Mcgraw Plan First Tour Together

Country superstar couple Faith Hill and Tim McGraw have announced the initial leg of their first co-headlining tour together. Due to kick off July 12 in Atlanta's Phillips Arena, the "Soul 2 Soul Tour 2000" will see McGraw sponsored by Bud Light, and Hill sponsored by ALLTEL.

The

tour will find each artist performing solo sets, as well as a set of duets during each show. Additional dates are expected to be added in the near future.

McGraw is touring in support of his latest album, "A Place in The Sun," which debuted at No. 1 on both The Billboard 200 and the Top Country Albums chart. Hill will be out on the road supporting "Breathe," her most recent release, also a No. 1 album on The Billboard 200 and Billboard's Top Country Albums chart -- which spawned the title track, as well as "The Way You Love Me," currently No. 1 on the Hot Country Singles & Tracks Chart.
