Strait Adds Shelton To Tour

Blake Shelton will join George Strait on the road this summer, along with previously announced opener Julianne Hough. Shelton’s latest Warner Bros. single “She Wouldn’t Be Gone,” recently spent two weeks at No. 1 on MusicRow’s CountryBreakout chart.

The Strait tour opens May 9 in Hidalgo, TX, and hits numerous amphitheaters and festivals across the U.S. and Canada before wrapping in late July.

Strait is up for four Grammys at the Feb. 8 awards, and will receive the ACM’s Artist of the Decade honor in April.
