Valory/BMLG's Brantley Gilbert has announced the dates for his 2018 tour The Ones That Like Me, named as a nod to his fanbase. The tour will ultimately hit 36 cities but its initial leg will cover 18 cities with singer/songwriter Aaron Lewis and newcomer Josh Philips.

"People tell you all kinds of things about marketing," Gilbert says of his tour's name. "But I want to call it something that speaks to what this tour is: a chance for me to get together with all the people out there who get this music, who believe in these songs and live their lives just like the people back home do."
