He has tapped special guest Lauren Alaina for all 18 dates, with appearances by veterans the Bellamy Brothers, John Anderson and Trace Adkins. The tour gets underway on February 14th. Blake said,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI\u2019m really excited about my tour because it\u2019s taking where I came from and the music I listened to growing up, and actually introducing it to a whole new audience. I feel like a lot of people might know the Bellamy Brothers\u2019 and John Anderson\u2019s music, but maybe they\u2019re not familiar with who they are as artists. I think that this is going to be a great opportunity for the country music fan base to be re-introduced to these guys and, selfishly, I\u2019m just excited to share the stage with them! It\u2019ll be great to have Trace back out on the road with us, and I can\u2019t wait for one of my newer friends and heroes, Lauren Alaina, to blow these crowds away.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Blake has always shown his appreciation for the artists who paved the way for him, but he also likes to shine a light on those modern acts who represent the genre well. It&#8217;s kind of the same with Blake&#8217;s music. As far as he&#8217;s concerned, the superstar said he&#8217;s not quite sure how to define just where he fits into today&#8217;s ever-changing genre.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cMan, I don\u2019t really know where I fit in in country music, because it kind of goes from here to there, I mean there\u2019s all kinds of artists that fit in. There\u2019s singer\/songwriters, there\u2019s the guys like me who it\u2019s really hard to put your finger on what I do. I like that, but I don\u2019t ever wanna have a specific area, because I like to be able to perform and sing all kinds of songs. Maybe I\u2019m the wild card, maybe that\u2019s how I fit in.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Tickets and VIP experiences for Friends &amp; Heroes 2019 will go on sale on November 9th at 10 a.m. Blake Shelton Fan Club members American Express Card Members can purchase tickets before the general public beginning tomorrow Friday, November 2nd.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some date of note for the Friends &amp; Heroes 2019 tour:<\/p>\n<p>2\/22 Buffalo, NY KeyBank Center<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Blake Shelton has announced his tour for 2019 and it will include some of his friends and some of his heroes.","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":2233,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"No","footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[332,168,330,110,331],"class_list":["post-2231","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-country-music-news","tag-bellamy-brothers","tag-blake-shelton","tag-john-anderson","tag-lauren-alaina","tag-trace-adkins"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-14 01:29:57","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/country929.com\/blogs\/country-music-news\/2018\/11\/blake-shelton-announces-new-tour\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2231","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2231"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2231\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2232,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2231\/revisions\/2232"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2233"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2231"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2231"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2231"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
