LEXINGTON, KY – CMA Entertainer of the Year, Blake Shelton, will embark on a headlining tour of the U.S. beginning July 19 in Virginia Beach, VA. The Ten Times Crazier Tour, which features special guest Mercury Recording artist, Easton Corbin, and ACM New Female Vocalist of the Year, Jana Kramer, will criss-cross the country this summer and will make a stop in Lexington, KY at Rupp Arena on Saturday, September 21.

This is Blake’s second headlining tour following last year’s sold out Well Lit & Amplified Tour. The CMA's Entertainer of the Year and three-peat Male Vocalist of the Year is celebrating eight consecutive No.1 singles, 13 overall with his No.1 single “Sure Be Cool If You Did”, which Entertainment Weekly calls “ludicrously catchy” with an A- rating, and back-to-back wins on NBC’s hit show The Voice. “Sure Be Cool If You Did” is Blake’s fastest rising single to date and is the first new single off his new album “Based On A True Story…”. Which Us Weekly gave 3 ½ out of a 4 star review.
“My fans, country radio, friends, family, you name it – they know I love to perform. 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,” Blake said with a devilish smirk. “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.”
GRAMMY nominated Blake Shelton is CMA Awards’ Entertainer of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year for his third consecutive year. Blake is “becoming the most important and visible ambassador from Nashville to the American mainstream" (The New York Times). He has been nominated for five GRAMMY® Awards, including a nod for Red River Blue, the Associated Press calling the album “the best album of his career” as Country Album of the Year, won ACM’s Male Vocalist of the Year for a second time, and then made history by winning three consecutive CMA Male Vocalist of the Year awards and Song of the Year with his wife and Grammy winner, Miranda Lambert.
