Blake Shelton keeps busy, that is for sure. Winning awards, coaching on 'The Voice', making holiday specials, and being one half of a country music supercouple with wife Miranda Lambert are all time-consuming endeavors that have kept Shelton in the spotlight and off the tour circuit over the past several months. So, I think fans will agree that it's about time Blake paid some attention to being a country artist and going on a full, nationwide tour.

Last year, Shelton sold-out his 'Well Lit and Amplified Tour'. But he promises his fans that the 2013 'Ten Times Crazier Tour' will be more lively, energetic and, of course, crazy. Shelton said in a statement:

“My fans, country radio, friends, family, you name it. They know I love to perform. With 'The Voice' schedule, I was not able to go out and perform as much as I wanted last year but I plan to make up for it this year...This summer is going to be a blast. I want everyone at my shows to leave feeling like they got every penny’s worth of their ticket. I am going to give them every ounce of me on that stage because they deserve it. My fans are die hard country fans. They love to laugh and have a good time and I’m going to join them in what truly will be the Ten Times Crazier Tour.”

The first dates of the new tour go from July 18th through October 5th, but expect more dates to be added as the summer approaches.

Shelton will be in good company on his tour, which currently has 30 dates scheduled across the country. Rising country stars Jana Kramer and Easton Corbin will join the CMA Entertainer of the Year Award winner on his 2013 tour dates.
