ST. LOUIS • Donald J. Trump is bringing his show to St. Louis.

The GOP frontrunner will hold a rally at downtown's Peabody Opera House at 12 p.m. on Friday, his campaign announced Tuesday.

Trump has drawn large crowds, sometimes numbering as high as 35,000, throughout the United States. This will be the billionaire's first visit to Missouri and St. Louis since announcing his campaign.

Attendees must get tickets through the Eventbrite website.

The Missouri and Illinois Republican primaries are next Tuesday, March 15. That night, Trump plans to hold a press conference in Florida following voting in Michigan, Mississippi, Hawaii, and Idaho.

He currently has an 84-delegate edge over his closest Republican rival, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas.

Fifty-two delegates are up for grabs in Missouri and 69 in Illinois. Florida is considered the biggest prize of next week with 99 winner-take-all delegates.
