He doesn't have a new album yet but Josh Groban is itching to tour. So the operatic pop star has announced shows for the fall, including a Nov. 2 concert at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul.

Opening will be Minnesota's favorite Super Bowl singer Idina Menzel, which, no doubt, means cold weather will arrive as she sings "Let It Go" from "Frozen." It's guaranteed that the audience will get more than the one song that the Tony-winning star did this winter for Super Bowl Live on the Nicollet Mall.

Groban is filming his Netflix series, "The Good Cop," with Tony Danza in New York. He's also working on his eighth studio album, due later this year. He teased a new song, "Symphony," on Valentine's Day.

Tickets, priced from $55.50 to $205.50, will go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday at Ticketmaster outlets and the Xcel box office.
