Blake Shelton is gearing up for a busy 2016. He announced Thursday (Oct. 8) that he’s going back out on the road next year.

“Alright, time to let the cat outta the bag … I’m going back out on tour next year!” he writes on Facebook. “We kick off Feb. 18 in Cincinnati. And for the first time ever, we’re offering some really cool VIP packages that are gonna make hangin’ with y’all a lot of fun! The first show going on sale is my March 4 Nashville show.”

Tickets will go on sale in the coming weeks, with the exception of his Nashville, Tenn., date which fans can purchase starting Oct. 17 at 10AM CT. Ticket prices for the tour range from $29.75 – 69.75 per seat.

“Man, I’m just so excited about 2016,” said Blake in a press release. “We’ve got a new album coming and I can’t wait to get back out on the road and play some new music for my fans. As an artist, my favorite thing to do is go on the road and play shows. I’ve missed it, and it’s gonna be like old times. So y’all get ready to party, ‘cause Blake Shelton is comin to see ya’!”

Here are Blake’s tour stops so far. Closest to us is St.Louis at the end of February. Maybe we can get him to route through Peoria. -Jim
