Twain announces first tour in 10 years

The "Rock This Country" tour will total 48 dates and comes following her two-year residency in Las Vegas at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

The tour starts on June 5 in Seattle and concludes Aug. 23 in Fresno, Cal.

Twain has toured the U.S. 3 times, most recently on the Up! Tour in 2003-04.

American Express Card Members can purchase tickets through Front Of The Line for the Canadian shows only before the general public beginning Tuesday, March 10 at 10a a.m. through Thursday, March 12 at 10 p.m. local time, with the public on-sale for most North American shows beginning Friday, March 13 at 10 a.m. local on axs.com

Opening acts include Canadian musician and actor Wes Mack from June 5-28 and Gavin DeGraw from June 30-Aug. 23.

"This is a celebration tour. It's party time. The Rock This Country tour will have a different spirit than my past tours," said Twain. "It's a Shania they've never seen before. A lot of years have gone by, and I've got a lot more to share."

Twain did not expand upon what that meant.

Twain has been recording an album, but there was no word on the release of any new material.
