Blake Shelton 2012 Tour Dates Announced
Slowly but surely, dates for Blake Shelton's much-anticipated 2012 Well Lit and Amplified Tour are being announced, and fans will be happy to know that the trek will begin as early as January. Though the 'Honey Bee' hitmaker will be headlining his run, he won't be going out alone -- Shelton is packing up his favorite 'The Voice' runner-up Dia Frampton and country crooner Justin Moore for the ride.
Shelton will light up and amplify a total of 27 cities through March, sandwiching the premiere of 'The Voice,' which premieres post-Superbowl XLVI on February 5. The first few episodes of the popular sing-off show will be pre-taped audition shows, so Shelton needn't be present when Season 2 makes its debut.
The Well Lit and Amplified road show will inevitably be pumped full of songs from Shelton's new album, 'Red River Blue,' which dropped in July and produced the hit single 'God Gave Me You,' which just made headlines for being the singer's tenth No. 1 single to date.
Tickets for Shelton's Columbus, Ga., Reading, Pa. and Reno, N.V. shows are on sale now via his official website. More dates should be announced soon; keep checking here for the updates.
