Country trio Lady Antebellum's first headlining gig at the First Niagra Pavilion will be the season-opener for the 2012 Baierl Toyota Country Megaticket.
The package also will feature a pair of old standbys, Toby Keith and Rascal Flatts, along with Jason Aldean, who headlined the venue for the first time last summer.
Lady Antebellum, which won Song and Record of the Year at the Grammys last February for the single "Need You Know," is touring on its third album, "Own the Night."
Mr. Aldean, who scored a crossover hit in 2011 with the Kelly Clarkson duet "Don't You Wanna Stay," sold out the Burgettstown venue last summer. Mr. Keith, who makes an annual trip to First Niagra, will be touring on his 16th album, "Clancy's Tavern," which gave him a rare spot on the Hot 100 with "Red Solo Cup." Rascal Flatts, making its first stop here in two years, plans to release its eighth studio album, "Changed," in April.
