BLOOMINGTON - Carrie Underwood is bringing her "Blown Away Tour" to the U.S. Cellular Coliseum in May.

Her tour has been extended to 40 venues next year. Tickets go on sale Nov. 16 at 10 a.m. for the Bloomington show on May 2, 2013.

A $1 donation from each ticket sold will support 2013 Red Cross disaster relief.

Underwood's two previous headline tours, 2008’s “Carnival Ride Tour” and 2010’s “Play On Tour,” performed for a combined total of nearly 250 shows with 2.2 million fans in attendance, and she wrapped both years as the top-ranked female country touring artist.

This is Underwood's first performance at the coliseum.
