"When I walk through those curtains and see those smiling faces, my feet don't touch the ground again til I walk back out and get on that bus that got me there. That's from a song I wrote called 'I'll Always Remember You.' It's a true statement," Strait shared exclusively with Billboard for the announcement.
The country legend went on to say in the statement that it was a no-brainer for him to go on tour with Stapleton.
"I love doing these shows with George about as much as I like doing anything. There's nothing to compare it to," Stapleton added in a statement. "So many of his songs are in the ethos of what country music is. Playing these shows together is a great experience all the way around."
