As we told you, during the public memorial for Naomi Judd at The Ryman auditorium, Wynonna Judd revealed that she was going on with the planned The Judds tour, saying that’s what her mother would have wanted. Well, turns out she won’t be on that tour alone. It was just announced that Wy will be joined on the tour by an A-list group of female country stars, including Brandi Carlile, Faith Hill, Little Big Town, Martina McBride, Ashley McBryde and Trisha Yearwood. “I am humbled, once again, by the loyalty of the fans who have been with us for 38-plus years, who continue to show up for me when I need them the most. I am grateful that we will continue to honor the Judds’ legacy, together,” Wynonna said in a statement. “It is pretty amazing – all of the people who have come forward to offer up their time and their gifts. I am feeling extra grateful." So far there’s no word on which artist will join Wy on which dates, except Martina will open most shows, as previously planned. Plus, a newly added date in The Judds’ home state of Lexington, Kentucky will feature Faith. The tour is set to kick off September 29th in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and will now wrap October 29th in Lexington, Kentucky. Tickets are on sale now, with the Kentucky show going on sale tomorrow.
