The Love Unleashed Tour[1] is the eighth headlining concert tour by American recording artist Martina McBride. Launched in support of McBride's thirteenth studio album, Reckless, the tour included nearly 40 concerts across the United States and Canada.
The tour was announced in August 2016, while McBride was wrapping up a summer festival outing, which seamlessly transitioned into the tour. Additionally, the singer served as the headlining act for "Band Against Cancer". The tour kicked off in October 2016 with High Valley, Hailey Whitters, and Shelly Fairchild rotating as opening acts. In December 2016, McBride announced the second leg of the tour, in collaboration with CMT's "Next Women of Country".[2] This leg featured spring country artist Lauren Alaina, Post Monroe, and Maggie Rose. The tour concluded in March 2017.
Speaking on the tour, McBride stated:
"With so much tragedy and uncertainty in the world, our family is watching less news and spending more time listening to music, sharing stories over dinner and loving each other. I want this concert to be a place where people can share the common experience of music and how it can work its magic, as only music can.[3]"
