Country duo Sugarland book a fall Ride or Die Tour marking 20 years of Enjoy the Ride

Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush say the 26-date trek celebrates the album that first put Sugarland's singles at the top of the charts.

Sugarland have announced their Ride or Die Tour, a 26-date fall run across October and November marking 20 years since their breakthrough album Enjoy the Ride, whose lead single "Want To" became the country duo's first Number One hit and whose follow-up single, "Settlin'," also topped the charts.

"Enjoy the Ride was such a turning point album," Jennifer Nettles said in a statement. "It literally catapulted us onto the ride of our lives with a carnival of hits and a life on the road," she continued. "We couldn't let its anniversary pass without marking it as something special with our fans, live and on tour!"

Sugarland have been on and off since a 2012 hiatus: the duo of Nettles and Kristian Bush reunited in 2017, released "Still the Same" that year, and put out Bigger in 2018, including the Taylor Swift-penned song "Babe," their most recent full album. Since then they have toured with Little Big Town, made occasional one-off appearances, and released an EP, There Goes the Neighborhood, in August 2024.

It's unclear whether new music is coming: the newly announced tour is built around the Enjoy the Ride anniversary rather than any forthcoming project, though the duo has never said they're finished making music together and has never formally called it quits despite the hiatus and periodic breaks.

The tour opens October 1 in St. Augustine, Florida and runs through 26 dates across the South, Midwest and Northeast, including stops in Charleston, Green Bay, Duluth, Atlantic City and a close in Grand Prairie, Texas on November 21, tracked on the tour guide alongside the rest of the fall's new country dates.
