Josh Groban to round it up Oct. 19 at Target Center

The classical crossover star will perform on a stage in the middle of the arena, just like the rock bands do.

Metallica did it. Britney Spears and U2, too. Def Leppard might've been the first to popularize it. And now comes Josh Groban, who will perform "in-the-round" at Target Center on Oct. 19 as part of his cleverly named In the Round Tour. Classical music's favorite pop star – or pop music's favorite classical dude – will erect a stage in the middle of the arena that provides a 360-view onto the audience.

Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. for $99.50, $69.50 and $49.50. You can buy them at Target Center's Box Office, online at TargetCenter.com, AXS.com; www.livenation.com, or call 888.9.AXS.TIX. There should be plenty of room for the big circular stage: Groban's show in town drew a modest 7,000 fans to Target Center in 2011.
