NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Get ready, country fans. 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting years in recent memory as two of the genre’s most beloved artists, Blake Shelton and Trace Adkins, join forces once again for the highly anticipated Friends & Heroes Tour. Kicking off in Lexington, Kentucky on February 27, 2025, the tour will roll through 12 major cities across North America, concluding in State College, Pennsylvania on March 22.

This dynamic duo will be accompanied by an all-star supporting cast that includes country legend Craig Morgan, the soulful Deana Carter, and rising star Emily Ann Roberts, making this tour a true celebration of country’s past, present, and future. From Lexington to Baltimore, fans can expect nights filled with timeless classics, heartfelt ballads, and the kind of musical chemistry that only years of friendship can create.

Blake Shelton, who launched the Friends & Heroes tour series in 2019, returns with renewed energy, promising a setlist packed with hits like God’s Country, Austin, and Honey Bee. Trace Adkins, known for his commanding stage presence and deep baritone, will bring fan favorites such as You’re Gonna Miss This and Ladies Love Country Boys — along with a few surprises along the way.

But the country thunder doesn’t end there.

Shortly after the conclusion of Friends & Heroes, Trace Adkins will embark on his own solo venture: the What Color’s Your Wild Tour. This brand-new series will bring Adkins to additional cities including Farmington, New Mexico; Ashland, Kentucky; Omaha, Nebraska; and Fort Dodge, Iowa — delivering a fresh blend of career-spanning hits and new material from his latest projects. The tour promises a more personal, powerful showcase of Trace’s evolution as an artist, with intimate moments and raw performances that go beyond the stadium lights.

In addition to the music, the Friends & Heroes Tour also supports a greater cause. Blake Shelton has partnered once again with Propeller to help raise funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, allowing fans to make a meaningful impact while enjoying the show.
