Headed to Sin City.
This morning, Blake Shelton announced that he’s heading to Las Vegas next year for his very first residency, which will take place at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.
As of right now, there are six performances scheduled from February 5 – 15, 2025 (though he’s likely to add more I’m sure), and Blake says he’s excited to “bring some honky-tonk neon to the Palace”:
“We’ve been talking about a Vegas residency for a few years, and all the pieces just came together for a run next year. The Colosseum is such an iconic venue, and I’m excited to bring some honky-tonk neon to the Palace.”
Blake stepped down from his role as a coach on The Voice last May 2023 after 23 seasons and being on the show since its inception in 2011, and seeing as he’s no longer putting music or hitting the road like he used to, this seems like a natural next step.
“I’ve been so excited to share this news with y’all.. VEGAS!!!!! We’re coming to The Colosseum at Caesars Palace this February.”
Tickets will go on sale to the public next Friday, August 16th.
Additionally, Blake will be featured on Post Malone’s F-1 Trillion country album that’s dropping next Friday, and their song “Pour Me A Drink” is steadily climbing the charts at country radio.
Post Malone And Blake Shelton Drink Away Their Troubles In New Music Video For “Pour Me A Drink”
Cracking cold ones and having a grand old time.
Today, Post Malone released the new music video for his song with Blake Shelton “Pour Me A Drink,” which is featured on Post’s forthcoming F-1 Trillion album.
You see Posty and Blake hanging out in a field, pouring drinks and living their best lives, with plenty of girls and booze to go around. Like the song itself (which honestly sounds like something Blake might’ve released in 2014), it’s a little cliche, but I have hope that Posty has some more substantial stuff coming on the full album.
Overall, though, the production on “Pour Me A Drink” is super catchy and fun, but the song is a little bit lackluster in terms of the lyrical content using some very typical, obvious country topes, that find Malone and Shelton lamenting the tough work week ready to have an ice cold beer:
“Fourty hours got me goin’ out my mind
Dallas dropped another game in overtime
Caught a ticket speeding down the 65
Don’t know where I’m goin’
Guess I really went and messed it up again
Now, my baby’s goner than the Tulsa wind
Judgin’ by the stone-sober state I’m in
Need to crack one wide open”
I have to give them credit and say I know this will be another fan-favorite, instant hit, perfect to blast out on the lake or for whatever outdoor activity you have going on all summer long.
