Background
The first leg of the Take Me Downtown Tour was originally going to begin on November 8, 2013, but was postponed until January 10, 2014. Lady Antebellum's response of the postponement, "To accommodate the new release and in order give you guys the best show possible, we've had to move things around on our tour schedule." The first leg visited sixty cities.[3] It was also announced on the Lady Antebellum site on January 17, 2014, that the tour would be extended to eighty dates. Those dates were added to the summer portion of the tour. On May 19, 2014, it was announced that the group would headline a show on the beach in Atlantic City, New Jersey on August 3 as part of free beach concerts.[4]
