Brad Paisley
has changed the name of his upcoming tour to Virtual Reality World Tour
2012 to reflect the high-tech visuals onstage.
The Band Perry and
Scotty
McCreery will also perform on the tour. "When you see plans and sketches on paper, it's one thing, but to actually see
it in real life is something else, and that's what happened to me when we were in tour rehearsals. When I saw the visuals
and how exciting and sometimes mind-blowing they were, I just felt the tour name needed to reflect what the fans were going
to see," Paisley said. "For two hours each night of the tour, they can be taken away from reality -- literally." The tour
had been previously billed as the Camobunga! 2012 World Tour, which combined the name of his single, "Camouflage," with the
signature phrase of Howdy Doody, "Cowabunga!" The expression found a new audience when it was used on
The Simpsons
TV series.
