The country star, who just released a new album, "Play," will drop in on T-town on Feb. 28, in case you don't have the man's web site book marked.

Tickets will be $48.75 and go on sale at 10 a.m. on Nov. 15, according to Ticketmaster.

Brad Paisley, shown performing in Nashville on Oct. 30, will headline the Tacoma Dome on Feb. 28. They plays a mean guitar, as you know if you caught him his last couple of times in these parts, at White River Amphitheatre or the Puyallup Fair. And his new album, "Play," is a collection of riff heavy cuts and instrumentals.
