If you’re a music lover and determined to be outside this summer, then allow me to give you a few options to indulge in: Lizzo’s Special Tour and Lil Nas X’s Long Live Montero Tour.
Per Variety, the “About Damn Time” singer will be hitting the road for a 25-city North American tour beginning this fall. She’ll start off in the Sunshine State of Florida and stop at major U.S. cities like Philadelphia, Chicgo, Nashville, Atlanta and Houston before closing it out in the City of Angels a.k.a. Los Angeles. She’ll also be joined by “Big Energy” rapper Latto. The tour will be produced by Live Nation with public onsale tickets set to be available for purchase Friday, April 29 at 10am ET.
“3 years since my last tour…and I’m finally coming back to YOU! So excited to announce the SPECIAL TOUR ‘22,” Lizzo wrote in a tweet sharing the news on Monday.
As previously reported by The Root, the tour will coincide with her upcoming Special album release, which is expected to hit streaming platforms July 15. Describing the forthcoming project as “musically badass,” Lizzo explained:
“Broadly, I’ve been working on this album since the summer of 2018. It has evolved to a place where I’m proud. It’s one of the most musically badass, daring and sophisticated bodies of work I’ve done to date. I am not done. I’m still pushing out the hits, baby. And I hope that it is some of the most useful pieces of music to ever exist. All I want to do is help people through my music.”
Additionally, per a press release sent to The Root, Lil Nas X will also be bouncing from city to city and from country to country for his Long Live Montero Tour. The “Scoop” artist teased a forthcoming special announcement on Monday and now fans and followers will have to hurry and collect their coins if they want a chance at grabbing tix.
North American presale begins Thursday, April 28 at 10 a.m. local time. Tickets for the European dates will be available for purchase May 6, at 10 a.m. local time as well. For more information, head on over to longlivemontero.com.
