The Fox Performing Arts Center and Riverside Municipal Auditorium have announced a new batch of shows going on sale this week, including a popular singer-songwriter, a country superstar and more.
LeAnn Rimes is the biggest name in the newly announced shows.
The singer, famous for songs such as “Blue” and “How Do I Live,” will return to the Fox on Saturday, Sept. 27, for the first time since she played the venue in 2012. Tickets are $35.50-$68.50, before fees.
British singer-songwriter James Blunt will make his Fox debut on Sunday, May 18. Tickets are $31-$55.50, before fees.
You know him from the monster hit “You’re Beautiful,” which will now be stuck in your head the rest of the day. The show replaces the Trace Adkins show scheduled for that same day, which has been postponed.
Another show headed to the Fox features the Midtown Men, a harmony group of actors from the hit musical “Jersey Boys.” They will perform on Friday, April 11.
The Midtown Men are Christian Hoff, Daniel Reichard and J. Robert Spencer, who created the roles of three of the Four Seasons in “Jersey Boys,” and Michael Longoria, who joined the Broadway cast later as Frankie Valli. Tickets are $28.50-$53.50, before fees.
Also, rapper YG has been booked for the Riverside Municipal Auditorium on Thursday, May 22, with DJ mustard for the “My Krazy Life” tour. The show is open to guests 18 and older and tickets are $23-$33, before fees.
Tickets for all of the shows go on sale to the public at noon on Friday, Feb. 28, with various pre-sales starting earlier.
You can pick them up online at www.livenation.com or with fewer fees at the box office of the Fox Performing Arts Center at 3801 Mission Inn Ave., Riverside.
