The pop/classical singer unveiled a 30-date North American tour that will kick off February 17 at a casino in Verona, New York, and conclude at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas April 7.

Groban will be touring in support of his new album, Awake, which hit stores last week and debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart. Awake is led by the single "You Are Loved (Don't Give Up)," which is currently No. 15 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart.

"I learned from touring that my fans are really open-minded, musical, intelligent people and I feel like they want to come on this new journey with me," Groban said in a statement. "The music still sounds like it's coming from my heart and my soul and my voice. That is always the most important thing to me. My goal on Awake was to create the music and find the best people to help me create it."

The multiplatinum-selling artist wrote and produced several songs on the new album, which includes guest appearances from a diverse cast that includes Dave Matthews, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Glen Ballard, Eric Mouquet, John Ondrasik (Five for Fighting), Marius DeVries, David Foster, Imogen Heap, and Herbie Hancock.

The 13 tracks on the record contain songs in Italian, Spanish, and English. Tickets for select tour dates go on sale today.
