Blake Shelton is promising “one hell of a party” next year as he hits the road on the “Back To The Honky Tonk Tour.” The nationwide trek will include special guests Carly Pearce and Jackson Dean. The name of his tour perfectly follows the release of Shelton's honky tonk-worthy anthem “No Body,” which released last month. The fan-favorite song “takes me back to the ‘90s when I was in high school and first moved to Nashville because it feels like what the music sounded like at that time,” Shelton shared in a tweet when he released it.
“We’re throwing one hell of a party in 2023.. the [Back To The Honky Tonk] Tour with [Carly Pearce] and [Jackson Dean] is coming to a city near you!!! It’s going to be big..” Shelton promised in a post on his social media channels on Wednesday morning (September 7). Shelton announced that tickets go on sale on September 16 and September 23, and directed fans to his website for more info. “See y’all out there!!!”
“There’s nothing like getting out on the road and taking music to the fans,” Shelton said in a statement. “I feel just as excited to step on stage and perform as I did the very first time. I know my tour mates Carly Pearce and Jackson Dean feel the same, and I can’t wait for y’all to get to know them better. Break out the hats and boots, ‘cause we’re going back to the honky tonk!”
