The Love Unleashed Tour[1] is the eighth headlining concert tour by American recording artist, Martina McBride. The tour was launched in support of McBride's thirteenth studio album, Reckless. The tour played nearly 40 concerts in the United States and Canada.

Background

The tour was announced in August 2016. McBride was in the middle of wrapping up a summer festival outing, which would immediately lead into the tour. The singer was also the headlining act for "Band Against Cancer". The tour commences in October 2016 with High Valley, Hailey Whitters and Shelly Fairchild as the rotating opening acts. In December 2016, McBride announced the second leg of the tour, in conjunction with CMT's "Next Women of Country".[2] The singer was joined by 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]"
