Country music's modern day outlaw, Eric Church, will be burning up the road once again in 2012 on his newly announced Blood, Sweat and Beers Tour. The trek will launch on Jan. 19 in Fort Smith, Ark. and will run through May, covering over 50 dates along the way.

For the tour, Church is bringing his singing buddy Brantley Gilbert. Blackberry Smoke, Sonia Leigh, Jon Pardi, the Cadillac Black, and Drake White will also be featured on various dates throughout the tour.

"We have been building our entire career for this tour," says Church in a press release about the tour. "It is truly the culmination of a lot of blood, sweat and beer that has brought us to this point in our career. I have always trusted our fans to deliver with their dedication and passion, [and] they have always exceeded my expectations. I have never been more excited to begin a tour than this one. The band and I are committed to emptying the tank every night and delivering the best show we can."

Tickets prices will start at $34.75 for reserved seats. Fans will also have the option to purchase a VIP package, appropriately titled "Put a Drink in YOUR Hand," which will be priced at $199. The special package will include premiere seating, a pre-show party with food and drinks, a two-song acoustic performance by Church and autographed memorabilia, including a limited edition signed show poster and an exclusive tour laminate. The package will be limited to 200 fans per show and will be made available through all ticketing outlets.
