Blake Shelton
Blake Shelton

On the heels of his sold-out shows earlier this year, country music superstar Blake Shelton will continue the fun this fall with  his 2016 Tour Presented by Gildan®.   Fans can look forward to new songs from his forthcoming album If I’m Honest, including the Top 10 “Came Here To Forget” plus many of his 21 number one singles, from his debut single “Austin,” to his most recent #1, “Gonna.”  

Shelton received strong reviews from critics while on the road this winter. The Louisville Courier-Journal noted: “When you hear his body of work in the context of a two-hour show, it's also evident why Shelton has struck platinum. He isn't about pyrotechnics, opting for a sincere, likable approach that he pulls off with astonishing ease.” And The Boot said of his show in Buffalo, N.Y.: “Thanks to Shelton’s 10 seasons-long role on The Voice, awards show hosting gigs …it can be easy to forget what got him there in the first place: good, solid country music … and a ton of charisma. Both were on full display throughout his two-hour set.”
