“Nashville” is going on tour again. Actors from the CMT drama will hit the road this summer to play their music from the show (and a few tracks of their own too). The tour will travel across the U.S. throughout July and August, and Nashies will want to get their concert tickets before they sell out.

Tickets for the U.S. leg of the tour, which kicks off after the cast returns from a European tour, will go on sale Friday, May 5. There are two exceptions to that rule, though. The Vienna, Virginia concert is on sale now, and tickets to the Altanta show will go on sale in early June.

Those looking to get tickets early can take part in CMT’s presale. Starting Wednesday, May 3 at 10 a.m. local time, fans can use the code CMTjune1 to buy tickets until Thursday, May 4 at 10 p.m. (The presale code is also the date “Nashville” Season 5 returns to CMT.)

The tour will not feature the entire cast, but Charles Esten (Deacon), Clare Bowen (Scarlett), Johnathan Jackson (Avery) and Chris Carmack (Will) are all set to be there. Fans will also have the opportunity to meet them if they purchase VIP packages, which include meet and greets.

The cast of “Nashville” has gone on tour several times in the past. Fans who are seeing the show for the first time should note that the actors aren’t playing their fictional counterparts.

“I don’t feel as though it’s Deacon out there at all,” Esten told the Los Angeles Times during the 2015 tour. “Perhaps that’s who the audience is seeing. But I wouldn’t know how to go out there without a script and act like Deacon. I can just be me.”

The actors will be touring while the second half “Nashville” Season 5 is airing. The midseason premiere is June 1, and the show is expected to deliver much more drama and music.

When the show left off, Deacon was still mourning the death of Rayna (Connie Britton) as he finished their last album. Juliette (Hayden Panettiere) was determined to kick start both hers and Maddie’s (Lennon Stella) careers. The big cliffhanger, however, came when Scarlett revealed she is pregnant. Unfortunately, she doesn’t know if Gunnar (Sam Palladio) or Damien (Christian Coulson) is the father of her baby.

“Nashville” Season 5 returns to CMT Thursday, June 1 at 9 p.m. EDT.
