Wichita music venues packed with big-name shows this weekend, starting with Blake Shelton

It’s a good weekend to catch a show at one of Wichita’s many bigger venues. Nearly all of them have big-name musicians or recognizable comedians gracing their stages either Friday or Saturday, starting with mega-star Blake Shelton at Intrust Bank Arena on Friday.

If you’d rather hunt for eggs or see the Easter Bunny, the Eagle has already published a long list of Easter-related activities, which you can find at www.kansas.com/entertainment/holidays/
