Kelsea Ballerini Announces 2025 ‘Patterns’ USA Tour Dates
After selling out her special PATTERNS release show at New York City’s iconic Madison Square Garden in minutes, Kelsea Ballerini has turned her focus to making 2025 the Year of Live as PATTERNS‘ release comes this Friday! Taking her already captivating live show to another level, the four-time GRAMMY nominee and multiple Country Music Association Award winner is calling her 36-city, three-month arena tour KELSEA BALLERINI LIVE ON TOUR.
Promoted by AEG Presents, KELSEA BALLERINI LIVE ON TOUR kicks off January 21, 2025, at Grand Rapids, MI’s Van Andel Arena and runs through most of America’s rock halls. Joining Ballerini on this very personal tour are openers MaRynn Taylor and Maisie Peters.
Tickets for the Legends presale will begin on Tuesday, October 29th, at 10 AM local time. Tickets for the artist presale go on sale Tuesday, October 29th, at 12 PM local time. The general on-sale begins Friday, November 1, at 10 AM local time. An array of VIP packages are available, including M&G and photo opportunities, priority check-in, crowd-free merch shopping, VIP tour gifts, and more.
To honor that soul connection, Ballerini is donating one dollar from every ticket sold to her Feel Your Way Through Foundation. With a commitment to supporting mental health charities, FYWT was designed to lessen the stigma around the conversation of mental health, as well as finding a way to get people the tools they need to get help they may not have access to currently.
To celebrate the 10/25 release of PATTERNS, Ballerini is kicking off the morning with TODAY at Rockefeller Plaza for NBC’s Citi Concert Series. Release week festivities will continue as Ballerini brings her forthcoming album to life for the very first time on 10/29 joined by a sold-out Madison Square Garden crowd before making appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (10/30) and rounds out the week with The Kelly Clarkson Show (11/04).
“PATTERNS is an album about taking inventory of self and life as it is, moving through the things that need changing, and celebrating the wins along the way,” said Ballerini. “Writing this record really was just one big beautiful conversation with myself, Alysa (Vanderheym), Karen (Fairchild), Hillary (Lindsey) and Jessie Jo (Dillon). THAT is what I want to bring into my show…a night (well, a lot of nights) where we come together and have the greatest night dancing while unpacking all of it. With confetti and costume changes, of course.”
Hailed for the level of intimacy and empowerment her HEARTFIRST Tour delivered, Ballerini is once again setting the bar as high as possible when it comes to sharing with her fans. With PATTERNS moving on from Rolling Up The Welcome Mat, not only does Ballerini’s upcoming tour continue sharing the story of her life, but ticket holders will see her emerging stronger, wiser and grappling with making (new) love work as she comes into her own as a true headliner.
As Rolling Up The Welcome Mat and Rolling Up The Welcome Mat (For Good) near half a billion streams, Ballerini wanted to give this next chapter of her life a strong live presentation. With her CMA “Musical Event” nominated “Cowboys Cry Too (with Noah Kahan)” continuing to climb at Country Radio and closing in on 95 million streams, the honey-colored blonde Knoxville girl is finding a new level of living, and she’s hitting the road to let everyone who’s loved – and lived – this journey join the party.

Jason Aldean & Luke Bryan Announce Additional Stadium Headline Dates: The “DOUBLE DOWN TOUR 2026”
Reigning ACM Artist of the Decade Jason Aldean and five-time Entertainer of the Year Luke Bryan today announced the “DOUBLE DOWN TOUR 2026,” an expansion of co-headlining stadium dates set to kick off this August. The tour adds four additional concerts in 2026 following their sold-out UGA Sanford Stadium show last week (4/25) that reunited the Georgia natives in front of 63,000 fans. Watch a recap of the tour date here. Openers Gavin Adcock, Dasha, Chase Matthew, Jon Pardi, Dylan Scott, and Lauren Watkins have been added as support across select dates, listed below. Openers Dee Jay Silver & DJ Rock are across all dates. The tour is promoted by Live Nation.
Both Aldean’s and Bryan’s fan club members will have ticket presales starting Wednesday, May 6, at 10 AM local time and continuing through Thursday, May 7 at 10 PM local time, followed by local team presales starting Thursday, May 7, at 10 AM local time. Tickets to the public go on sale Friday, May 8, at 10 AM local time. Tickets are available at JasonAldean.com and LukeBryan.com.
“If our time in Georgia was a barometric measurement of what’s ahead, these shows with Jason will make it one of the best touring years of my life. And the fans will hopefully feel the same way,” shared Bryan.
“Luke and I have each been at this, career-wise and as friends, for over twenty years, and have gotten to hit a lot of milestones along the way. We’ve gotten to share the stage plenty of times over the years, and playing UGA was just a preview of what’s coming for the rest of these shows,” shared Aldean.
The tour will also offer a variety of different VIP packages and experiences for fans to take their concert experience to the next level. Packages vary but include premium tickets, exclusive access to a backstage tour, invitation to the pre-show VIP Tailgate Lounge, VIP-exclusive gift item & more.

Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Aldean released his latest studio album, Songs About Us, last week (4/24). The album features the Georgia native’s 31st career #1, “How Far Does A Goodbye Go,” as well as his current Top 15 radio single, “Don’t Tell On Me,” the album’s title track, “Songs About Us” with Luke Bryan, and more, totaling 20 new songs that have been praised as his “best album in a decade” (Entertainment Focus). Having cemented his status as one of the format’s most consistent hitmakers, ACM Artist of the Decade Aldean’s latest studio album Songs About Us follow’s Aldean’s career-spanning collection 30 Number One Hits, which debuted last year at No. 4 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart — marking Aldean’s 13th Top 10 country album in 20 years. Known for his electrifying live shows and breakout crossover hits, Aldean is set to hit the road for his “Songs About Us” Tour in July following his Full Throttle World Tour, which marked his first ever headlining run in New Zealand as well as his historic headlining return to Australia.
Luke will wrap his ninth season as a celebrity judge on American Idol alongside Carrie Underwood and Lionel Richie on May 11, and he will kick off his headline “Word On The Street Tour” on May 29. Since the start of his career, Luke has garnered more than 27 billion global streams, 12 million global album sales, and more than 48 million track sales worldwide, with 32 #1 singles. He became a SoundExchange Hall of Fame recipient as one of the most-streamed artists in the organization’s 20-year history. He has received more than 50 music awards, including Most Heard Artist of the Decade, Artist/Songwriter of the Year, Artist Humanitarian, and an ACM Lifting Lives Award honoring his devotion to improving lives through the power of music.
