Blake Shelton Tour Dates 2013 Will Be ‘Ten Times Crazier’
Blake Shelton is making good on his promise to put his day job first. The country music superstar is heading out on a headlining trek in 2013, with opening acts Easton Corbin and Jana Kramer. The Ten Times Crazier Tour will kick off July 19 in Virginia Beach, Va., and continue through October. (See a list of tour dates below.)
"My fans, country radio, friends, family, you name it -- they know I love to perform," Blake says. "With 'The Voice' schedule, I was not able to go out and perform as much as I wanted last year but I plan to make up for it this year. This summer is going to be a blast. I want everyone at my shows to leave feeling like they got every penny's worth of their ticket. I am going to give them every ounce of me on that stage because they deserve it. My fans are die hard country fans, they love to laugh and have a good time and I'm going to join them in what truly will be the Ten Times Crazier Tour."
Does this mean Blake won't be participating in "The Voice" after Season 4? The tour dates that have already been released (see below), allow for him to finish the season, which has already begun filming. However, if the show is planning to run Season 5 in the fall of 2013, it seems unlikely this tour itinerary would give him the availability.
Either way, the first way fans can purchase tickets is through Live Nation's 2013 Country Megaticket, a multi-show package, by visiting Megaticket.com and signing up to receive information about the promotion. Tickets go on sale for the general public in March, with pre-sale information, contests and meet-and-greet opportunities available soon to Blake's BS'er Fan Club. The organization is free to join here.
