“Blake Shelton”
Friends and Heroes 2019
St Paul’s Xcel Energy Center , March 15-16
From his team members on The Voice to veteran country artists, Blake Shelton has a history of demonstrating his support for the people in whom he believes; when he realized that fans across the country needed to hear music from his friends and heroes, he decided to bring them all out on the road for “Friends & Heroes 2019.” Very special guest Lauren Alaina joins Shelton for the run along with special appearances by country icons the Bellamy Brothers, John Anderson and Trace Adkins. We've also added a "Wee Bit of the Irish" flavoring to this package... to include dinner at Shamrock Grille; a delightful Saturday celebrating the Irish Heritage with Celtic dancing and music at the Landmark Center. There's also an Irish parade~ Dress accordingly if you plan to attend! There are other fun venues within walking distance of this historic area for you to enjoy. We'll also include an option to forgo the Irish festivities and shop at the Rosedale Mall instead. You decide. But however you wish to spend these two days, we invite you to JOIN us for this fun weekend to see Blake & Friends!
