From his first No. 1 smash "Should've Been A Cowboy" to his new album 35 mph Town, Toby Keith has been one of the most consistent self-directed hit makers of his era. From one of his previous collections, Clancy's Tavern, the lead single, "Made In America," topped the charts as one of the fastest rising songs in a long line of chart burners from Keith's pen. The second hit, "Red Solo Cup," has become the most remarkable and commercially successful country single in recent memory with a viral video with more than 30 million views while having topped the top downloaded country songs charts. The first single from 35 mph Town, "Drunk Americans," debuted at No. 1 Most Added on both the Billboard and Country Aircheck/Mediabase charts.
At the core of Toby's unparalleled success is his songwriting, which has powered an astounding succession of hit songs to the tune of more than 87 million BMI performances on commercial radio stations worldwide. In June 2015, Toby was inducted in to the Songwriters Hall Of Fame in New York City, and he has been honored by the Nashville Songwriters Association International with its Songwriter/Artist of the Decade distinction, is a three-time BMI Country Songwriter/Artist of the Year and was named the American Country Awards' Artist of the Decade. His albums have sold more than 40 million copies, ranking him among the top-selling all-genre artists on Billboard's Top 200 Artists of the Decade. Keith is also Billboard's No. 1 Country Artist of the Decade and No. 1 Country Songwriter of the Decade. His tours have drawn more than one million fans each year for the last decade. This year's tour, Interstates & Tailgates presented by Ford F-Series, kicks off in May with dates scheduled throughout North America. But Toby's most rewarding experiences, as exhibited in his continual devotion to them, come from giving back. Whether it's helping sick children and their families in his native Oklahoma through the Toby Keith Foundation and their cost-free home, OK Kids Korral, or supporting US Troops including 11 USO Tours throughout the world, Keith has never lost touch with the most important things in life.

Trace out preformed Toby Keith. Would see him again anytime. Toby was way too commercialized, and carried the red neck thing on a little too much for my liking.
You gotta love the redneck boys. What an awesome concert. I am so glad that Trace Adkins finally played in Vancouver. I have seen Toby Keith every time he comes to Vancouver and the crowds have loved him everytime. When Toby & hopefully Trace come back again, I will be going.
It was too bad the opening act (James Otto) was held up at the border. Our group found the acoustics for Trace Adkins was off. We had good seats but found his sound was distorted. We loved the opening for Toby Keith. As the show went on it appeared as if he was half gunned. He missed some words and was flat on at least three of his songs. He blew his tribute song "I'm Crying for me" (Wayman's Song). On CD/Video it is a wonderful song to his great friend. I like Toby Keith but it will be a long time before I buy another ticket to see him. We work too hard for the money and he should have been at the top of his game.
Both artists were great performers. Trace was very personable...going up the middle stage often and reaching down to touch fans. Toby Keith sounded really good...enjoyed his start on stage in the back of a Ford truck, glammed up with fireworks and lights!
Artists were fantastic. Sound was great!!! Could see everything clearly. Easy to find seats. Seats very tight though. Overall show was FANTASTIC!
By far the best concert I have ever seen!! Both Toby and Trace were FANTASTIC LIVE PERFORMERS!! Not just giving us the cookie cutter copy of their CD's...all threee guys were funny, extremely tallented and interacted with audience members, plus they added uniquely canadian bits to their acts! Amazing show!! Thankyou Trace&Toby for giving us a rocking good night of music, pirotecnics and humor!! :)))
country music is the best and toby and trace are the reason why. tough act to follow. simply fantastic.
The concert was amazing, lights, streamers, confetti, and ford trucks! Jaron was a perfect opener before two top performers! Toby Keith was loud, proud, and gave a great show!
The show was very professionally done, very easy to be drawn into a great music that was played but at the same time very down to earth, it may you feel both singers were part of the crowd.
Great concert, well worth seeing and would definitely see this man again. Very unhappy that I paid $600.00 for 6 tickets and then tickets went on sale as a 6 pack for $60.00 on the day of the event.
Loved the Opening Act...Jaron and the Hearbreak or something like that but in the end it was just Jaron cause his back up band could not get across the border..He held it together and between the two of us who were probably the only ones there who hadn't heard of him we really enjoyed his act and came home and searched for his music online in the morning. Trace Adkins delivered all his hits. The man towers over the crowd and is built. His stage show was full of scantilly clad women dancing erotically behind him ...certainly kept the male concert goers there engaged in his music. Made me slightly uncomfortable because I had my daughter with me...oops. The heart of the show was Toby Keith. He played to his American Pride. Red White and Blue lighting, fireworks and music. His Ford F Series truck used as a set for him to arrive on stage with was cool. He played alot of his hits, some new stuff and a few tributes which included one to jazz player, one to Willy Nelson in the form of I'll never smoke Weed with Willy Again and of Course his tributes to the fallen heroes of 911 and the soldiers overseas. This concert was well worth the price I paid for my tickets!
You haven't lost it Toby Keith you know how to perform for you're audience.
Toby Keith puts on an awesome show. I do wish they wouldn't serve alcohol at these events, as a vast majority of people do not know how to have just a couple. They get hammered and then forget simple manners!! Over all the show was great, Trace Adkins needs to work on his sound system as the words he was singing were unrecognizable. Toby was awesome, seeing Steven Sagal was equally great!!!
not enough music from the past two albums, not too much of his old stuff either. he was enjoyable and personalble as usual! gotta love him
paid 200 dollars to watch a tv screen that was even hard to see
It was a great show overall. A little long waiting for the main show. Trace was great and Toby is a great entertainer.
What an amazing pair Toby and Trace made. The electrifying feeling in the air was awesome. The opening act for them was great as well. We would most deffinatley go again. Thank you very much for such an enjoyable show boys, will see you again for sure!! Cheers :)
Couldn't get much better with Trace and Toby doing what they like best. Entertaining and having fun. I was close enough to see Toby had a Racoon sunburn and smiled.
Toby is contagiously inspirational, patriotic and entertaining. Amazing show. Awesome that he brought out Trace for the final song. We need more Toby in Canada!
