When you're preparing to make the first concert announcement for a new arena there are several boxes you wanna check. It needs to be a well-known artist with plenty of hit songs that will bring a party-type atmosphere. Xtream Arena definitely nailed all three of those with their choice of the legendary Toby Keith, a show we're proud to join them in presenting in Coralville this fall.

It was April 20, 1993 that Toby Keith's self-titled debut album was released. By the time that happened, I was already hooked on his music. It took just one song for me... "Should've Been a Cowboy." That is one awesome debut single, and the first of many hit songs that Toby also wrote. It was released to radio in February of 1993 and by late April, was well on its way to number one, a spot it held for two weeks in June of that year. Toby's debut album had three other songs that reached the top five, and that was the beginning of what's been an incredible career.

98.1 KHAK is proud to present Toby Keith's 'Country Comes To Town Tour' at the new Xtream Arena (photos below) in Coralville on Thursday, October 14. Toby will be joined by special guest Matt Stell for the 7 p.m. show.
