Gearing up for a tour, there is always the anticipation of something
special; the excitement of traveling across the country and the world,
of meeting and sharing with the fans, of exploring musical worlds in a
way not possible in the studio. It is the most fun I have in my whole
career and I want it to be the most fun my fans have as well. The
Straight To You Tour will be all about this goal. - Josh
This week, Josh begins rehearsals for his first full-scale global
arena tour in four years: The 2011 "Straight To You" World Tour. The
North American leg kicks off May 12th in New Orleans, Louisiana, and
visits cities across the U.S. and Canada before culminating in a
celebratory show at New York City's legendary Madison Square Garden on
November 14th.
With a set designed by the award-winning British multi-media creative
and digital agency Knifedge, which has pioneered the use of projection
with live theater events, the tour will give fans the feeling of an
intimate theater setting through stage design, lighting, and projection,
as well as through the spontaneity and interactivity Groban delighted
his fans with during last year's "Before We Begin" shows. Groban will
not only perform an ever-changing set-list of favorites from his
best-selling albums, including his self-titled 2001 debut, 2003's
Closer, and 2006's Awake, as well as songs from his recent platinum
album Illuminations, he will also take questions from the audience via
text, which concert-goers will be able to send before and during each
show.
Tickets for all of Josh's Straight To You tour dates are available
now! For more details and to find out when he'll be in a city near you
