Chad Brownlee Announces 2020 Forever’s Gotta Start Somewhere Tour
Canadian country music star Chad Brownlee is wrapping up the year with big news for 2020. The BC native is prepping to hit the road next year on the Forever’s Gotta Start Somewhere Tour, and he’s not going alone.
Last week, Brownlee teased that he had big news coming. “Not all of it, but some of it.”, he said. And here we are.
Guys, I finally have some news for you on Monday. Not all of it, but some 😏 #2020Tour
— Chad Brownlee (@ChadBrownlee) December 12, 2019
The Monday news drop is great for Brownlee’s Ontario fans as it gives us seven spring dates across the province to see the Back In The Game artist live. We mentioned that he’s not coming alone, right? Well, he’s not. Hot off her amazing season on Dancing With The Stars, and bringing big hits like What Ifs and Next Boyfriend, Lauren Alaina will come north with Brownlee for these dates (and hopefully more). And to top it off, Ontario’s own Jade Eagleson will appear as a special guest on the Forever’s Gotta Start Somewhere Tour.
UPDATE: Unfortunately, Chad Brownlee has announced that all Ontario tour stops on the Forever’s Gotta Start Somewhere Tour have been cancelled due to illness. Brownlee posted the announcement via his social media channels Thursday morning, and venues have started sharing the news with refund information. For more information please contact your ticket vendor.
We’ve been fortunate enough to see all three of these country music performers live, and putting them all together on one show seems like a really great idea to us.
Check out some of our favourite photos of the trio from Toronto’s Budweiser Stage, Country Thunder Calgary, and the Country Music Association of Ontario Awards Tailgate Party!
As of right now, this is all we know. BUT, if we were going to make some presumptions or guesses about some things… here’s a short list.
✰ Chad Brownlee has a lot of friends on the Canadian country music scene, which means the possibility of surprise guests is always in play.
✰ There’s a 0% chance that this is an Ontario only tour (Brownlee’s team has already confirmed this) – and we expect that a significant number of dates will be announced west of London’s Budweiser Gardens on August 25, 2020, and hopefully east of Ottawa’s TD Place as well before all is said and done.
✰ Brownlee’s 2019 album Back In The Game will be well represented in the setlist. But we’d still guess that hits like I Hate You For It, Hearts On Fire, Love Me Or Leave Me, and maybe even Hood Of My Car will be there too.
✰ Chad’s been known to do a cover or two as well. Maybe 2020 will have him giving fans a little something new in the bonus song area.
The announcement of the Forever’s Gotta Start Somewhere Tour is big news for Brownlee as he continues to push forward in the new chapter of his career. It’s also an awesome chance for fans who saw him in an abbreviated moment during Dallas Smith and Dean Brody’s Friends Don’t Let Friends Tour Alone run in 2019 to get a full show instead of a two-song sample from the dude who took Forever’s Gotta Start Somewhere all the way to #1 on the charts.
Tickets for the Ontario dates of the 2020 tour go on sale on Friday, December 20, 2019, at 10 am. Check out Chad Brownlee’s website for more details and to be ready!

[…] We do want to note that The Reklaws were not originally scheduled to perform on Wednesday night at the Northside Sessions. Unfortunately, their pal and labelmate, Jade Eagleson was unable to make the trip to Toronto from Calgary due to an illness, so Jenna and Stuart stepped in. We’re sending healing vibes to Jade and look forward to seeing him with Chad Brownlee on the Forever’s Gotta Start Somewhere Tour. […]
