Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, still the first couple of country music, will join forces once again on tour, with a concert set for Aug. 25 at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul.

They are again calling this the Soul 2 Soul Tour. It marks the 10th anniversary of their Soul 2 Soul II Tour. The 65-concert trek, which starts April 7 in New Orleans, was announced Tuesday night on Facebook, followed by a performance of the song "It's Your Love." at Ryman Auditorium.

Tickets, priced from $69.50 to $119.50, will go on sale at 10 a.m. Oct. 14 at the Xcel box office, ticketmaster.com and 800-745-3000.

A regular visitor to the Twin Cities, McGraw last performed here in 2014 at the Minnesota State Fair, where he played three times in five years. Hill was last here with McGraw in 2007 for a Soul 2 Soul Tour.
