From a press release:

It was announced today that multi-platinum-selling singer/songwriter Jason Mraz will perform at the Hershey Theatre on Sunday, Dec. 2 at 7 p.m. as part of a special fall tour.

Live in Stereo will see the multiple Grammy Award winner partner with longtime percussionist Toca Rivera for intimate acoustic performances beginning on Nov. 23 and continuing through late December.

Tickets for this show, which range from $35-$89.50 (processing fees apply), go on sale this Friday, June 22 at 10 a.m. and will be available at the Hershey Theatre box office (15 E. Caracas Ave., Hershey), online at hersheyentertainment.com and ticketmaster.com, and by phone at 717-534-3405 and 800-745-3000.

The announcement of Live In Stereo comes on the heels of the upcoming release of Jason Mraz’s hugely anticipated new studio album, “Know.” The follow-up to 2014’s “Yes!” arrives at all music retailers and streaming services on Friday, Aug. 10; pre-orders are available now.

Mraz’s first full-length studio recording in over four years, “Know” is heralded by Mraz’s current smash single, “Have It All,” which he performed last week on the nationally syndicated “Live with Kelly and Ryan.” Currently ascending the Top 15 at Hot AC radio outlets nationwide while also earning more than 4.5 million streams in the U.S. alone, “Have It All” is joined by a very special acoustic version of the song, available for purchase.

Since getting his start 15 years ago performing in coffeehouses in his adopted city of San Diego, Mraz has brought his positive message and soulful folk pop sound to audiences around the world through his recordings, vibrant live performances, and philanthropic efforts. Along the way, he has earned two Grammy Awards, as well as platinum and multi-platinum certifications in more than 20 countries for his releases, sold 48 million singles, and made pop history with his record-breaking classic single “I’m Yours.” He’s also won a prestigious Hal David Songwriter Hall of Fame Award, performed in amphitheaters and arenas across the globe, and sold out such iconic venues as the Hollywood Bowl, Madison Square Garden, and London’s O2 Arena.

While best known for songs like “The Remedy,” “I Won’t Give Up,” and “Love Someone,” as well as the mega-hit ”I’m Yours,” Mraz has branched out into acting and recently concluded his starring role as Dr. Pomatter in “Waitress the Musical” on Broadway with Sara Bareilles. Renowned worldwide for his humanitarian efforts, he established the Jason Mraz Foundation in 2011 to sustain organizations aligned with his four pillars of service: human equality; environment preservation; arts and education; and recovery and assistance. Organizations supported by the foundation include the VH1 Save the Music Foundation, Free the Children, Surfrider, and MusiCares, all of which support a mission of creating inclusive programming for artistic training, social development, and personal expression.

The wristband policy will be in effect for this concert. Fans are permitted on the Hershey Theatre property beginning at 7 a.m. on June 22. Two hours prior to the on-sale, fans will be directed in front of the Hershey Theatre box office, where they will be issued a numbered wristband. Wristbands are available for one hour and, at the conclusion of that hour, a selected fan will randomly choose a wristband that will determine the line order. Once the line is in place, fans arriving after the wristbands were issued will be escorted to the end of the numbered line.
