Advance sell-outs at include the Staples Center in Los Angeles, Allstate Arena in Chicago, American Airlines Center in Dallas and the DCU Center in Worcester, Mass.

Fresh off celebrating their number one hits We Owned The Night and Just A Kiss in Nashville this week, the trio's third single Dancin' Away With My Heart off "Own the Night" cracked the Top 20 on the country radio charts in 3 weeks.
