The Two Of Us tour will see Ben Earle and Crissie Rhodes tour the length and breadth of the UK performing all their classic tracks.

The Shires’ achievements speak for themselves: three consecutive UK Top 3 albums, four 1 UK Country albums, 100 million+ streams, two Gold-certified records, and countless sold-out headline shows, including filling the prestigious Royal Albert Hall.

The Shires first broke through in 2014 with their single ‘Nashville Grey Skies’, a playful song about Britain needing its own country scene. 

And that’s something which they helped happen, starting with their 2015 debut Brave, which became the first ever Top 10 album by a UK country music artist. 

That success continued with a succession of hit albums: 2016’s My Universe, 2018’s Accidentally On Purpose, 2020’s Good Years and 2022’s 10 Year Plan.

Their authenticity saw them embraced by the Nashville scene immediately, leading to two CMA Awards, touring highlights including C2C Festival and shows as guests to Carrie Underwood, Little Big Town, The Corrs and more.

The trustees of The Albert Hall said; "We are thrilled to welcome The Shires to The Albert Hall, where their music will undoubtedly create unforgettable memories and a vibrant atmosphere!"

The Shires, Two of Us Acoustic Tour will take place on Saturday, June 7 2025, at 7.30pm, with doors open at 7pm.
