Sugarland Brings Ride or Die Tour to Reading for Arena's 25th Anniversary

From Santander Arena & Performing Arts Center

GRAMMY® Award-winning duo Sugarland recently announced The Ride or Die Tour, a 26-city U.S. tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of Enjoy the Ride, the landmark album that cemented Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush as one of music’s most beloved duos.

Kicking off Oct. 1 in St. Augustine, FL, the tour will travel across the country before wrapping Nov. 21 in Dallas, TX. The dates will deliver a dynamic, high-energy live experience featuring the band’s extensive catalog from the last 20+ years, from hit singles to fan favorites.

As part of The Ride or Die Tour, Sugarland will make a special stop at Santander Arena in Reading, PA, on Saturday, Nov. 14, for the venue’s 25th Anniversary Celebration. The performance will help commemorate 25 years of live entertainment at Santander Arena, bringing one of country music’s most celebrated duos to Reading for a milestone night during the venue’s anniversary season.

“Enjoy the Ride was such a turning point album,” said Nettles. “It literally catapulted us onto the ride of our lives with a carnival of hits and a life on The Road. We couldn’t let its anniversary pass without marking it as something special with our fans, live and on tour!”

“There is truly nothing more satisfying than the lights going up on the Sugarland stage and feeling our songs rumble out of the speakers,” mused Bush. “I’m excited just thinking about it and even more thrilled to be celebrating the anniversary of Enjoy The Ride.”

Since the band’s inception in 2002, Sugarland has sold nearly 10 million albums. Achieving an astounding seven No. 1 singles and nearly 2 billion streams to date, some of their most iconic songs include PLATINUM-certified “All I Want to Do” and “Stay,” 2X PLATINUM “Stuck Like Glue,” as well as GOLD-certified “Baby Girl,” “It Happens,” “Settlin’,” “Something More,” and “Want To.” Their critical and mainstream appeal has been magnified with industry accolades – five consecutive CMA Awards for Vocal Duo of the Year (2007- 2011), five ACM Awards (including Song of the Year and Single of the Year) and GRAMMY® Awards for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals and Best Country Song for “Stay.”

In addition to the global superstardom they’ve reached with Sugarland, both Nettles and Bush have experienced overwhelming success with their solo work. Most recently, Nettles wrote the book, lyrics, and score for the new off-Broadway musical Giulia: The Poison Queen of Palermo, in which she starred as the title character. The show world premiered in Summer 2026 at the Perelman Performing Arts Center (PAC NYC) at the World Trade Center in New York, directed by Tony winner Mary Zimmerman.

As part of Sugarland, Bush helped shape hits including “Stay,” “Baby Girl,” “Stuck Like Glue,” and “Life in a Northern Town,” while also co-founding the acclaimed folk-rock duo Billy Pilgrim with Andrew Hyra and leading projects including Dark Water, Cabin Chill, and a successful solo career. As a producer, Bush has become one of Nashville’s most in-demand collaborators, earning multiple CMA and ACM Award nominations and frequently topping Billboard‘s Country Producers chart. He has produced chart-topping projects for Megan Moroney — including her most recent Billboard 200 No. 1 album Cloud 9 — as well as work for Lanie Gardner, K. Michelle, and Runaway June. Through his work with Moroney, Bush has also produced recordings featuring Brooks & Dunn, Ed Sheeran, Kenny Chesney, Jamey Johnson, and Kacey Musgraves. In 2024, Billy Pilgrim marked its Grand Ole Opry debut.
