Blake Shelton has announced that his “Friends and Heroes 2020” tour will begin Thursday, February 13 in Portland, Oregon. The 16-date run will hit major cities throughout the Midwest and West Coast, including a stop at The Forum in Los Angeles (full list of dates below). Joining him is special guest Lauren Alaina as well as The Bellamy Brothers, John Anderson and Trace Adkins.

Blake said, “The Friends and Heroes Tour was so exciting and successful last year that I couldn’t imagine not trying something like that again,” said Shelton. “Even though every night when the show wrapped, I would tell the audience that they might never see something like this again, with these legends, my plan all along was to at least try to make that happen."

He continued, "I didn’t know if I’d be able to get the same artists, but we were able to work it out where we have the Bellamy Brothers, John Anderson, Trace Adkins and Lauren Alaina are all coming back to do the exact same tour. We were only able to do a handful of shows last year, so we’re going to take the tour to different areas so that fans will get a chance to see what we did. I feel like it was the best concert experience that I’ve ever been involved in, and I’m ready to get fired up again.”

Shelton posted a video of him getting the tour back together to Instagram this morning, "HELL RIGHT, Y’ALL! The #FriendsAndHeroesTour is heading back on the road with very special guest @laurenalaina and special appearances by @bellamy_brothers , @johnanderson, and @traceadkins."
