Blake Shelton has been announced as headliner for The Smoke Show on Aug. 9 in Albuquerque.
Presale tickets for The Smoke Show begin May 29, with general on-sale starting May 30, and more information is available at abqsmokeshow.com.
The announcement comes on the heels of Luke Combs and Cody Johnson headlining the Boots In The Park Festival in Albuquerque last weekend. The two-day event drew tens of thousands of country fans to the sold-out festival featuring powerhouse performances by Combs, Johnson, Jon Pardi, Parker McCollum and many more.
“We were absolutely blown away by the support and excitement Albuquerque brought to Boots In The Park,” says Steve Thacher, CEO of Activated Events. “The response from fans exceeded all expectations, and we couldn’t wait to announce our return with The Smoke Show. Having Blake Shelton headline this new event is the perfect way to keep the country party going in New Mexico.”
