Kelsea Ballerini Sets Her First Arena Outing With ‘Live On Tour’ In 2025
Following the success of her sold-out Oct. 29 date at Madison Square Garden, Kelsea Ballerini is unveiling her “Live On Tour” dates that find the country singer headlining her first full arena tour in the spring. The upcoming dates include stops in Chicago, Toronto, Boston, Los Angeles and more.
Ballerini’s AEG Presents-promoted tour kicks off on Jan. 21 at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan. She’ll stop in 30 cities, wrapping up on March 30 at Ball Arena in Denver.
The tour marks something of a change of direction for Ballerini, on the heels of the release of a new album, Patterns, and a new phase of her career.
“From the jump. I’ve always wanted to play arenas, and I think it’s because when I was a kid, the first concert I ever saw was Britney Spears at Thompson-Boling Arena,” Ballerini tells Pollstar. “Having that magical moment, in that size room, and seeing all the production was my dream. I grew up going to concerts like Taylor Swift and Shania Twain and they created this atmosphere in this world, where their music took on a whole different life.”
Among 29 headline reports submitted to Pollstar’s Boxoffice, Ballerini has sold 78,311 tickets grossing a total of $3.9 million. She headlined Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville, Tennessee, on Nov. 2, 2023, the show selling out with 14,460 tickets and grossing $1.3 million. Prior to the arena date, she played at Keller Auditorium in Portland, Oregon, on June 27, 2023, that show selling 4,285 tickets grossing $270,056.
Ballerini is booked by CAA’s John Huie and Marc Dennis and managed by Sandbox Entertainment’s Jake Basden, Jason Owen and Leslie Cohea.
Tickets go on sale Nov. 1 at 10 a.m. local time.
