The Soul2Soul: The World Tour is the third and current co-headlining tour by American country music recording artists, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. It marks the first time the duo have toured together since 2007. It began on April 7, 2017, in New Orleans, Louisiana. Performances consist of a setlist of duets between the couple and solos. The tour is scheduled to play seventy shows and as of June 24, 2017, every show has been sold out, and has grossed over 33 million dollars.
In October 2016, a special concert was planned at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. Under the moniker "Sam & Audrey", the duo performed their hits, while announcing the forthcoming 2017 tour. The itinerary was released the following day. On January 31, 2017, McGraw and Hill announced the opening acts via Facebook Live. Each weekend will feature a different opening act, handpicked by the duo. They also revealed additional tour dates and plans to perform shows outside North America. When introducing the tour, Hill stated:
"We have the best fans in the world, who have been with us through our entire journey and we are so excited to celebrate with them by going back on the road and showcasing an exciting new show. It’s always great when we get to work together and it’s been awhile since we got to do that."
The show begins with a ten-second countdown clock, after that futuristic begins music begins to play. Hill and McGraw begin to say a speech which ends with, "face to face, heart to heart, and soul to soul." Then two black boxes rise up onto the b-stage, as the boxes descends both Hill and McGraw appear, and perform Aretha Franklin and George Michael's "I Knew You Were Waiting For Me". During "Break Free" (a new pop centric song from the couple), the video screens displays fragments of glass shattering behind them. When McGraw performs "Angry All the Time", Hill plays the acoustic guitar while singing background vocals. The show lasts for two hours and fifteen minutes with a setlist of thirty songs. They go back and forth singing with each other and alone during solos. McGraw and Hill perform their past hits and songs off their upcoming album. They close with "I Need You".
The stage and production is made up of laser lights, risers, special effects, eighty-foot wide video board, HD and LED screens. During the show family photos are projected onto the eighty-foot wide video board. A ten piece band backs the couple.
