Omaha, NE - Tickets are moving quickly for popular country music artist Blake Shelton, who will be performing in concert following the Omaha Royals game at Rosenblatt Stadium this Friday, July 20th. The Royals take on the Memphis Redbirds in a 7:05 p.m. game, followed by a fireworks display and then the concert. The event is being presented by Werner Enterprises, KAT 103 FM and KETV-Channel 7.

Shelton's fourth studio album entitled Pure BS and featuring the hit single "Don't Make Me" was released in May.

Shelton also reached Number 1 for three weeks in 2003 with his single, "The Baby."
