It has been a wild few years for Strait. Many fans thought he would be done touring for good after completing a self-described farewell tour in 2014. However, it did not take long for Strait to begin performing again periodically in Las Vegas. It is not uncommon for popular musical artists to take up residency in Las Vegas so that they do not have to endure the rigors of constantly being on the road.

After a few years on the Vegas scene, Strait announced a new album due out on March 29. The much-anticipated "Honkey Tonk Time Machine" album features the songs "The Weight of the Badge," Every Little Honky Tonk Bar,“ "Código,” and “God and Country Music.”

Strait also announced that he would be a headlining act at a music festival in Ohio called the Buckeye Country Superfest. Coming up on June 8, this festival also features Blake Shelton, Midland, Chris Janson, and Raelynn.

The beloved musician announced the Massachusetts show in an adorable way. Not only did he poke fun at Shelton, but he also made fun of his own retirement aspirations. Now is your chance to see this sweet announcement.
