But you don’t have to be an Oklahoma resident to enjoy the show. Along with NBC airing the concert at 9 p.m. ET/PT, cable channels Style, G4, Bravo, E! and CMT will air the event live or on a delayed basis.
“Everyone has their way to help, and mine as an entertainer is to perform to help raise money and awareness for this tragedy,” Oklahoma born-and-raised Shelton said. “This is why I want to do this special and especially hold it in Oklahoma City, which is near ground zero.”
Benefitting the United Way Of Central Oklahoma May Tornadoes Relief Fund, tickets go on sale May 25 at 10 a.m. CDT. Visit BlakeShelton.com for more information.
