He's revealed the entire North American run, scheduled to launch in the Big Easy during the second week of May 2011.Groban talked about his world tour while making a Valentine's Day appearance on NBC TV's TODAY SHOW two weeks ago.
Supporting his 2010 album, "Illuminations", Groban's STRAIGHT TO YOU Tour begins in New Orleans at the Lakefront Arena on May 12; plays Houston's Toyota Center on May 14 and stops in Dallas at the American Airlines Center on May 16.
