Kris and band return to Hershey, PA (first place I ever saw them play back in 2010!) for a free New Year's Eve celebration. Their set will end just before the clock strikes midnight.

Updated 1/5/2018: Happy New Year! Cold but that didn't keep the people of Hershey from turning out and taking quick videos, photos and giving FULL SET LIST (THANK YOU) before frostbite set in! For that they will earn #gavegoodlist. :)

2016 for Kris Allen and Fans - a Wrap-Up Post

It is time for one of those year-end posts all the blogs do! I thought this year I'd take a look back at some of my favorite Kris performances and memories. On Twitter, I invited you to do the same, and you came through big time with some great photos, videos and tweets! I'll be including them in this post. Not to mention that I actually got in three Kris concerts in person in one year, tying my record for that! (Some of you really put me to shame with how many shows you get to!) So let's take a look back at 2016 for Kris Allen and fans.
