âWe are beyond excited to have both the incredible Shania Twain, the undisputed âQueen of Country Popâ, perform at Chepstow Summer Sessions this July,â shared Cuffe and Taylor co-founder Peter Taylor in a new statement. âShaniaâs phenomenal blend of country and pop, along with her spectacular stage presence, has captivated millions worldwide. Her performance is set to be a standout moment, bringing her chart-topping hits and dynamic energy to our stage.â
More artists are set to be announced at a later date.
That's huge, I am wondering how this all came together.?That's quite a few headlining shows. She so deserves to be acknowledged this way I mean not many country artists get to this level of success and are still successful 25 plus years later. Canadian Queen!
This is really, really great indeed! I'll be in London the week of her Hyde Park show so I'll definitely be there. Plus, The Corrs will join her, they're one of my favorite band and I've never seen them live before.
I wonder if she's planning more shows in Mainland Europe in the Fall, she has 3 Vegas-free months in the Fall.
Knowing her track record, Shania will probably spend those three months in Switzerland relaxing. I doubt she'll use it to record music considering it takes her about six years to release a new album these days.
I have the feeling she doesn't spend much time in Switzerland anymore. She stays in Vegas as much as she can lately and she has a recording studio there.
