Attend the tale, because Josh Groban and Jennifer Hudson are joining forces for an arena tour this summer, which stops in Tampa this June.

The 44-year-old multi-faceted tenor took to Hudson’s talk show on Tuesday morning to co-announce the 16-date run of shows. “I am so honored to be able to hit the road with you this summer. To be able to travel the country, to be able to blend our voices. The duet possibilities!” he told the EGOT-winner during the announcement.

The news comes following a few years off the road—which was preceded by an incredible, Tony Award-nominated Broadway run as the titular character in “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street”—and in the midst of Groban promoting Hidden Gems, a new collection of ultra-deep cuts. Many of the songs on the record have never been widely available before, so while it technically isn’t a new studio album, non-ride-or-dies may as well consider it as one.

Tickets to see Josh Groban and Jennifer Hudson play Tampa’s Benchmark International Arena on Friday, June 19 go on sale tomorrow at 10 a.m., and start at $82.
