Grammy-winning a capella group Pentatonix, featuring Owensboro native Kevin Olusola, announced a stop in Evansville for The Most Wonderful Tour Of The Year tour. The event will be November 30, and tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday on Ticketmaster.
The tour announcement accompanies the release of their new holiday greatest hits album, “The Greatest Christmas Hits (RCA).” The coast-to-coast tour launches in mid-November, stopping in several significant markets before landing at the Ford Center in downtown Evansville.
Pentatonix also partnered with Superfan to offer vans unique VIP experiences during the holiday season. Fans can purchase VIO Superfan packages that include exclusive merchandise items, a group photo with the group, an intimate Q&A session, and exclusive access to the band’s “Holidays Around the World” VIP pre-show party.
The new album marks the group’s 12th overall full-length and seventh-holiday album. It features 23 of the band’s top holiday songs and eight new tracks, including one-holiday original.
Last year’s tour was the group’s highest-attended and most successful ever, selling out at several stops. The band wants to carry that momentum into the Pentatonix The Most Wonderful Tour Of The Year tour.
Pentatonix received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this past February.
Olusola, 34, was raised in Owensboro after moving here in his early childhood. He attended Owensboro High School for two years before enrolling at Phillips Academy Andover in Massachusetts during his junior year. After graduating from Andover, Olusola attended Yale University, where he graduated in 2011 with a degree in East Asian Studies. Olusola also has a star on the Owensboro Walk of Fame. That was unveiled in June 2017 at ROMP Fest.
