Tim McGraw and Faith Hill concert chronology

The Soul2Soul 2000 Tour was the first joint concert tour by American country singers, and husband and wife, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. The concert tour began in Atlanta in July 2000, and ended later that year in December in Orlando. The tour's shows featured an opening set by Hill, then a set by McGraw, followed by some songs performed jointly.[1] The tour reflected both the successful marriage of the two artists as well as their very different styles[2] and the dual directions country music was going in at the time.[1][3][4][5]

The tour grossed nearly $50 million and was witnessed by close to 950,000 people.[6] 60 of the 65 reported shows were sold-out.[6] It was fifth highest grossing of any genre in North America,[7][8] and the leading country music tour, during 2000.[9] An estimated 1 million people attended the shows.[9] The pairing of the musically divergent couple led to Pollstar giving the tour its second-most important Concert Industry Award, that of Most Creative Tour Package for 2000.[10]
