The itinerary for a winter tour pairing country singer TOBY KEITH and rocker TED NUGENT continues to shape up, with a handful of new shows now confirmed.

Keith and Nugent--who got to know each other during a recent USO-sponsored trip to Iraq, where they performed for U.S. troops - are so far scheduled to play 10 shows, including two in Green Bay, WI. Tickets for most shows are on sale now; details are in the itinerary below.

Billboard.com recently reported that about 20 Keith/Nugent dates are in the works for the first quarter of 2005; no other shows were confirmed at press time.

Also on Keith's schedule is a Feb. 13 show in Tallahassee, FL, to make good on a show he postponed in October, as well as summer festival appearances in Cheyenne, WY, and Detroit Lakes, MN.

Keith is touring behind Greatest Hits 2, which features 11 tracks from his previous albums and three new tracks, including the hit "Stays in Mexico." Other new songs include a cover of the James Taylor/Carly Simon duet "Mockingbird" that features Keith's 16-year-old daughter, Crystal, and "Go with Her."

Keith has endeared himself to pro-war elements in the U.S. by dubbing a recent album and tour Shock'N Y'all, a play on the U.S. Defense Department's Iraq-war catch phrase "shock and awe," as well as the pro-war single 'Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)'.

Nugent, meanwhile, has long been a colorful and outspoken supporter of gun and hunting rights, as well as other conservative causes.
