As an original coach on the Emmy Award-winning television show The Voice, Shelton brought a steady diet of current and classic country music to the NBC primetime audience. After 23 seasons and nine championships, he left the show in May of 2023.
Shelton has a wide array of shows in 2025, with his "Live In Las Vegas" Residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. The residency will occur on February 5, 7, 8, 12, 14, and 15. His "Friends And Heroes" Tour will Kick off February 27 in Lexington, KY, and feature Craig Morgan, Deana Carter & Trace Adkins with very special guest Emily Ann Roberts.

A noted humanitarian, Shelton has helped raise millions of dollars for children's hospitals, disaster relief organizations, food banks, and the OK POP Museum, and he wrapped the "Back To The Honky Tonk" Tour in March with a special show in Tulsa titled Blake Shelton & Friends: Oklahoma Is All For The Hall.

I think I may be the only one that didn’t enjoy Blake Shelton. Sounded horrible. The entire concert was boring and not worth the ticket price. On a positive note, this venue is always nice and clean.
We traveled all the way from California to see Blake Shelton perform in Tuscaloosa as part of a "bucket list"trip to Alabama. We purchased advanced seats which were listed as "accessible", but we were seated right in front of the pit area and at the same floor level so attendees stood in front of us the entire time. On the Ticketmaster site, the seats were shown as "stadium seating"or elevated; this was very misleading. In addition, Blake did not perform very long at all and there was no additional lighting, special effects or graphics to enhance the stage or concert experience. The bass sound was pretty overwhelming coming out of the speakers. Overall, very disappointed.
Blake Shelton gave the best concert. It was spot on.
Blake was good. I wish his opening acts (2) were better known. It was just 2 hours of background noise before he came out. No one was really listening. Everyone was just walking around and talking before Blake came out at 9 (concert started at 7). So the first 2 hours was pretty boring. The venue was outstanding! The weather was great and there were plenty of food places and drinks. The drinks were $$$$$$. The bathrooms were huge, and could accommodate the crowd. So, until Blake came out everyone seemed pretty bored because no one knew any of the music. I get trying to support local bands and new talent, but if you’re going to get bar bands at least have them play cover songs so people can get into the concert.
So enjoyed the show! Opening acts were great, venue was amazing, and Blake Shelton was phenomenal!!
We had good, mid-range seats. The view was very good. The production quality of the show was excellent, sound quality was top notch, and seats were comfortable.
The concert was great from the beginning to the end. Blake sang new songs and some oldies! He kept us entertained the whole concert! It was a wonder and entertaining evening!
Unexpectedly fantastic show. Start to finish. Played all great (older) songs and favorites. Interacted with crowd. Have been to a lot of concerts this year and this was one of the best experiences.
First time at this amphitheater and was impressed. Great facility for a fantastic show!
