On September 7, 2025, the heavens will offer one of the most breathtaking celestial events of the decade: a rare lunar eclipse, known as the “Blood Moon.” As the Earth’s shadow cloaks the Moon in hues of crimson and scarlet, millions will lift their eyes skyward to witness a phenomenon that has inspired awe, wonder, and legends for centuries.
But this time, the spectacle of the universe will not only be felt in the sky. It will also echo through the world of music. Country superstar Blake Shelton has announced a new tour, aptly titled “Blood Moon and Blake Shelton – When the Universe Turns the Sky Red, Legends Take the Stage.”
The concept is bold: to merge the majesty of the cosmos with the power of live music, creating a once-in-a-lifetime experience for fans around the globe.
A Cosmic Connection
Shelton, who has been one of country music’s most beloved voices for over two decades, revealed the inspiration behind the tour during a press event in Nashville. “The Blood Moon has always fascinated me,” he said. “It’s rare, it’s powerful, and it brings people together to witness something bigger than themselves. That’s what music does too. So I thought — why not combine the two? Under the Blood Moon, we’ll play the songs that people know by heart, and hopefully, create memories that feel as timeless as the night sky itself.”
A Tour for the Ages
The Blood Moon and Blake Shelton Moonlight Tour will kick off in early September 2025, carefully timed to align with the lunar event and the nights surrounding it. Shelton’s team has selected outdoor venues that allow fans to not only enjoy the music but also look up and marvel at the sky.
Here is the official list of September dates and locations:

Shelton confirmed that the Nashville show on September 7, under the actual Blood Moon, will be the most elaborate production of the tour. Fans can expect a synchronized moment where the music pauses as the eclipse reaches its peak, blending natural wonder with the resonance of live country music.
The Experience: More Than a Concert
This isn’t just a tour, Shelton emphasized — it’s an experience. The stage design will feature massive LED screens projecting cosmic imagery, choreographed light shows that mimic the eclipse cycle, and even moments of silence to encourage fans to look upward.
“This tour is about reminding people that music and the universe are both miracles,” Shelton said. “Sometimes we forget to look up, to notice the sky, to feel small in a good way. With this tour, I want fans to feel that awe while also singing their hearts out.”
Shelton’s setlist will include fan favorites like God’s Country, Honey Bee, and Austin, along with covers of timeless ballads under the moonlight. Special guest appearances are rumored, though names have not yet been confirmed.
Fans Erupt with Excitement
The announcement immediately set social media ablaze. Hashtags like #BloodMoonTour and #BlakeUnderTheSky began trending within hours. Fans shared their anticipation, with one tweeting: “Blake Shelton, the Blood Moon, and country music? This is literally a dream come true.”
Others noted the spiritual and emotional resonance of the tour concept. “Music and the cosmos have always been connected — both remind us how lucky we are to be alive at this moment. Blake gets it,” wrote another fan.
Ticket vendors are already preparing for what they predict will be record-breaking demand. Pre-sales will begin in April 2025, with general sales opening the following week.
A Fusion of Legends and Lore
Throughout history, the Blood Moon has carried symbolic weight. Ancient cultures viewed it as an omen, poets wrote of its mystery, and storytellers used it as a metaphor for transformation. By tying his farewell-themed concert series to the lunar event, Shelton is adding his own voice to that long tradition of meaning.
Astrologers and astronomers alike are also looking forward to the eclipse. NASA has confirmed that on September 7, 2025, the Blood Moon will be visible across much of North America, South America, and parts of Europe. For fans at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, the concert will align perfectly with peak visibility of the eclipse.
A Night That Will Be Remembered
For Shelton, the Blood Moon Tour may not only be about spectacle but also about legacy. After years on The Voice, countless chart-topping songs, and a long-standing presence in country music, this tour feels like a statement of purpose — to connect music with something universal and eternal.
“Fifteen years from now,” Shelton told reporters, “I want fans to say, ‘I remember where I was the night the Blood Moon turned the sky red, and Blake Shelton sang under it.’ That’s the kind of magic we’re aiming for.”
Final Thoughts
As the world prepares to watch the sky on September 7, 2025, Blake Shelton is ensuring that the moment will echo not only in the heavens but also in the hearts of fans.
With the Blood Moon and Blake Shelton Moonlight Tour, he’s crafting more than a concert series — he’s building a cultural event where music, mythology, and the cosmos unite. When the sky turns red and the stage lights shine, fans will witness not just a performance, but a memory etched into history.
Because when legends sing under the Blood Moon, the universe itself listens.
