MILWAUKEE -- Country star Blake Shelton has joined the growing list of artists that are canceling shows in Milwaukee due to the global coronavirus pandemic.

Shelton had previously been scheduled to perform on March 20 at Fiserv Forum.

“Omaha, I’m here in your city with my friends and heroes and am ready to play a show for you, but for all the right reasons – chiefly everyone’s safety and well-being – we have to reschedule tonight and the rest of the tour,” said Shelton. “Please take care of yourself and your loved ones. You can bet we’ll see you back here soon!”

Previously purchased tickets for remaining tour dates will be honored for a rescheduled show in 2021. Refunds will be available at the point of purchase.
