In April, the Nashville location of Blake Shelton's Ole Red bar, restaurant, and live music venue temporarily closed for "somethin' special" that was in the works. It has now been announced that the space has reopened to the public. Fans speculated that the reason behind the closure was for the filming of Season 2 of Shelton's celebrity game show, Barmageddon. The show, which premiered in December 2022 on the USA Network, features Shelton and Carson Daly as co-creators and Nikki Bella as the host.
The idea for Barmageddon came about while Shelton and Daly were working together on the set of The Voice.
The show involves celebrities participating in rowdy bar games, and the first season was shot at Ole Red in downtown Nashville. Celebrity guests such as Gwen Stefani, Chris Young, Trace Adkins, and Kane Brown took part in the games. Shelton described the show as a real-life version of The Hangover.
Shelton confirmed that the show would return for a second season during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. The premiere date for Season 2 has not been announced yet, but the complete first season is available for streaming on Peacock.
In addition to his work on Barmageddon, Shelton is currently in his final season as a coach on The Voice.
He is also scheduled to perform at various music festivals throughout the summer.
Overall, fans can look forward to the return of Barmageddon for its second season and enjoy Shelton's performances on The Voice and at music festivals.
