Kelsea Ballerini to Perform Shows in Philly and Newark

originally published: 10/23/2024

(NEWARK, NJ) -- 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 a 2025 tour and taking her already captivating live show to another level. The four-time GRAMMY nominee and multiple Country Music Association Award winner has announced a 30-city, three-month arena tour that comes to Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia on February 10, 2025 and Prudential Center in Newark on February 18, 2025.

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.

Kelsea Ballerini's PATTERNS will be released October 25, 2024 (Black River). On the album she enlisted "Best New Artist" GRAMMY nominee Noah Kahan to appear on the tender and beautifully crafted - and CMA awards nominated “Musical Event of the Year” - single “Cowboys Cry Too,” following the pair’s incandescent performance on the 2024 Academy of Country Music Awards.

"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 (Dillion). 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."

Tickets for the Legends presale will begin on Tuesday, October 29th at 10:00am local time. Tickets for the artist presale go on sale Tuesday, October 29th at 12:00pm local time. The general on-sale begins Friday, November 1 at 10:00am 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. Fans can register now for access to the KELSEA BALLERINI LIVE ON TOUR presale at kelseaballerini.com

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.

Kelsea Ballerini has consistently made history. With the release of her debut album, The First Time, she became the only female country artist to hit #1 with the first three consecutive singles from a debut album. This history-making feat earned her a “Best New Artist” GRAMMY nomination. She has logged five back-to-back Top 10 entries on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, including the platinum-selling The First Time (2015), gold-selling Unapologetically (2017), gold-selling kelsea (2020), ballerini (2020) and SUBJECT TO CHANGE (2022). With seven #1 singles and 33 certifications from the RIAA to date, her catalog boasts a string of essential smashes.

Among dozens of accolades thus far, Ballerini has garnered four GRAMMY nominations, won two ACM Awards, picked up two CMA Awards, took home the iHeartRadio Music Awards honor for “Best New Artist,” and received multiple career nominations from the ACM AwardsAmerican Music AwardsCMA AwardsCMT Awards and People’s Choice Awards. Ballerini was also inducted as a member of the famed Grand Ole Opry in 2019. At the time, she notably became the Opry’s youngest member in its nearly 100-year history since being founded in 1925.

Expanding her sphere of influence, Ballerini authored her first original book of poetry, Feel Your Way Through (2021), and Dolly Parton tapped her to star in the audiobook of Run, Rose, Run (2022). This same year, the multi-platinum country superstar was named the newest face of CoverGirl. She entered into a multi-year partnership and launched a cosmetic collaboration with the brand in 2023.

Ballerini’s fourth album, SUBJECT TO CHANGE, arrived in 2022. The gold-certified first single, “HEARTFIRST,” earned her a GRAMMY nomination for “Best Country Solo Performance.” She went on to surprise fans five months later with the release of the intimate six-song Rolling Up the Welcome Mat, which earned her a GRAMMY nomination for “Best Country Album.” Rolling Up the Welcome Mat, along with an accompanying short film written and directed by Ballerini, marked the multi-platinum star’s most honest work to date and led to her Saturday Night Live debut, universal acclaim from critics including The New York TimesVarietyRolling Stone, as well as the honor of gracing the cover of TIME Magazine.

EVENT PREVIEWS

The

The Newton Theatre presents Gaelic Storm

(NEWTON, NJ) -- Gaelic Storm comes to The Newton Theatre on Saturday, June 21, 2025 at 8:00pm. It's hard to imagine a band just coming into their own after 20 years of success, but that's exactly what makes a true anomaly. Gaelic Storm, a multi-national, Celtic juggernaut grows stronger with each live performance, and after two decades and over 2000 shows, they are a true force to be reckoned with.

Eddie

Eddie Skuller to pay tribute to Tom Waits in Hoboken

(HOBOKEN, NJ) -- Looking for the heart of Saturday night? Find it in Hoboken on Saturday, May 10, 2025 when the 503 Social Club presents singer/songwriter Eddie Skuller's tribute to the "Ballads of Tom Waits." Skuller explores the dark, poetic world of Tom Waits with diverse selections from his extensive catalog. Although Skuller's amber-saturated vocals contrast with Wait's raucous gravel-like voice, there is a connection channeled through the music's emotional depth and lyrical intensity. Skuller can forge a deep, powerful bond with his audience, which enhances the tragic expression at the core of Waits' music.



Tusk

Tusk to perform Two Nights at The Newton Theatre
