Blake Shelton is heading back out on the road in 2025. The Grand Ole Opry member announces his Friends & Heroes Tour 2025, joined by his longtime friend (and former touring partner) Trace Adkins, plus Craig Morgan, Deana Carter and Emily Ann Roberts.
“The Friends & Heroes Tour is one of my favorite tours because as a fan, I can’t think of a cooler concert to see,” Shelton says. “I get spoiled every night seeing these icons come out and do four or five of the biggest hits of their storied careers. And then get introduced to new talent like Emily Ann. I can’t wait.”
Shelton also teased the tour on social media.

Roberts also joined Shelton, whom she met when she was on his team for Season 9 of The Voice in 2015, on his Back to the Honky Tonk Tour last year.
“He is so down to earth,” Roberts gushed to Everything Nash, prior to the start of the tour. “He is so supportive and kind. And this just shows his character so much, for him to almost nine years later, still reach out a helping hand to me, and give me this opportunity to go out on the road with him. It just goes to show what an incredible person he is.”
The new tour announcement comes as Shelton is, for the first time in more than two decades, without a record label home. The Grand Ole Opry member just announced he was leaving Warner Music Nashville, where he had been for 23 years.
“I moved to Nashville when I was 17 to sing country music and get a record deal,” Shelton said when announcing his departure. “Along with the support from Warner, my dreams came true, and then some. It’s impossible to name everyone who has had a hand in all the success we enjoyed, but a huge and heartfelt thank you to the Giant Records, Warner Bros. Records and Warner Music Nashville staff and family.”
Shelton’s Friends & Heroes 2025 Tour will kick off on February 27 at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky, and wrap up on March 22 in State College, Pennsylvania. Presale tickets will be available beginning on September 10 at 10:00 AM local time. Tickets to the general public will be available on Friday, September 13 at 10:00 AM local time.
