Upcoming Blake Shelton dates
Dates and live ticket listings appear here as soon as they are on sale. The guide below covers what to know before you buy.
Two very different Blake Shelton rooms
Your best Blake Shelton seat depends on which kind of show you are buying. His live work now splits between Live in Las Vegas, held in Caesars Palace's Colosseum (roughly 4,300 seats), and short arena tours such as Friends and Heroes, where veteran country acts share the stage. At the Colosseum, nearly every seat is close by arena standards, so center position matters more than row. In an arena, height and angle decide the view.
The residency opened in February 2025. An eight-show return ran January 15 to 31, 2026, and strong sales led to a second eight-show block, May 6 to 24, 2026. Current dates appear in the ticket listings on this page.
Colosseum seats, front to back
- Center sections: the most balanced view of the stage and the best sound. In a room this size, a mid-house seat frequently rivals the front rows.
- Front sections off to the sides: close, but angled. If you have to choose, a centered seat a little farther back usually wins.
- Upper tier: far closer than an arena upper deck, which makes it the value pick for this format.
When he announced the residency in August 2024, Shelton said he wanted it to differ from his touring show, putting the songs and his connection with the audience ahead of big production. The 2026 announcements promised fan favorites along with new material.
Arena seats for a Friends and Heroes night
- Lower level, angled to the stage: the strongest seats. You keep a clean line to the stage and the screens while the guests rotate through their sets.
- Floor: the most energy. A general admission floor (no assigned spots; your place depends on when you arrive) rewards getting there at doors. A reserved floor feels close in the first rows, but deeper rows sit flat behind fans on their feet.
- Upper level: a solid value for a singalong night. Head-on sections are worth more than the ones wrapping around the sides.

What is on the set list
The night rests on two decades of radio singles: "Austin," "God's Country" and "God Gave Me You" among them, plus recent material like "Stay Country or Die Tryin'," a No. 1 from For Recreational Use Only (May 2025). When he tours under the Friends and Heroes banner, each guest plays a short block of signature hits, so the evening feels like a country revue more than a single headline set. Shelton has framed the appeal as the chance to see country veterans run through the biggest songs of their careers.
His runs since 2019
- 2019 to 2020: the original Friends and Heroes Tour.
- 2023: Back to the Honky Tonk, an 18-show tour first announced in fall 2022, with support from Carly Pearce and Jackson Dean.
- Late winter 2025: a 12-city Friends and Heroes revival across the East, from late February to late March. The stops included Boston's TD Garden, Atlanta's State Farm Arena and Lexington's Rupp Arena, and the guests were Trace Adkins, Craig Morgan, Deana Carter and Emily Ann Roberts.
- Las Vegas, 2025 to 2026: three Colosseum blocks, in February 2025, January 2026 and May 2026.
Presale tiers and the nights that sell
His on-sales come in layers. For the May 2026 Colosseum block, Citi cardholders got first access, a seated presale followed, and then came windows for Caesars Rewards, Ole Red and Live Nation before the public on-sale opened February 6, 2026. For the 2025 arenas, fan-club members and American Express holders bought ahead of everyone else. A fan-list or loyalty-program sign-up is the surest early route.
- Weekends in Las Vegas usually draw the most resale interest.
- Arena dates in country strongholds hold demand longer.
- Weeknights and upper levels often ease as the show nears.
Reserved Seat orders include free shipping. Announcements post on Blake Shelton's tour page.
Oklahoma roots, The Voice and Ole Red
Shelton was born in Ada, Oklahoma, on June 18, 1976. "Austin," his first single in 2001, spent five weeks atop the country chart, and he has since passed 30 country No. 1s, a run that included a long string of them back to back. An Opry member since 2010, he holds 10 Country Music Association awards, five of them for Male Vocalist of the Year, and coached on NBC's The Voice from 2011 to 2023, producing nine winners. With Ryman Hospitality Properties he co-owns Ole Red, a set of music venues with restaurants that began in Tishomingo, Oklahoma, in 2017 and has expanded to Nashville, Gatlinburg, Orlando and the Las Vegas Strip.
