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.
