Missy Elliott to embark on her debut headline tour alongside Ciara, Timbaland and Busta Rhymes
Celebrating 30 years in the music industry, Missy Elliott has announced her debut headline tour, OUT OF THIS WORLD — The Missy Elliott Experience.
The pioneering female of Hip Hop/R&B will perform in arenas across North America this summer with Busta Rhymes, Ciara, and Timbaland.
“This is an incredible time in my life as I am experiencing so many milestone ‘firsts.’ Being the FIRST female Hip Hop artist to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and now going out on my FIRST headline tour,” says Elliott. “Fans have been asking me to tour forever but I wanted to wait until I felt the time was right because I knew if I was ever going to do it, I had to do it big, and I had to do it with family! So get ready to be taken OUT OF THIS WORLD with me, Busta Rhymes, Ciara, and Timbaland! We can’t wait to share this experience with the fans!”
The 24-city run blasts off on 4 July at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, making stops across North America in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Brooklyn, and more, before wrapping up in Rosemont at Allstate Arena on 22 August.
Mona Scott-Young, CEO of Monami Entertainment adds: “Missy has always been an iconic groundbreaker and continuously pushes herself to be bolder and go where she has never been before – and surprisingly, one of those places is headlining her own tour! For decades, fans and peers worldwide have clamored for Missy to tour and they’re finally going to get what they’ve been asking for as she teams up with Ciara, Busta, and longtime partner-in-rhyme Timbaland, to deliver a start-to-finish, nonstop, high-octane, OUT OF THIS WORLD concert experience. This will be one for the books, so trust me, you don’t want to miss it!”
Tickets will be available starting with Verizon pre-sale on 9 April. Additional pre-sales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale beginning Friday 12 April at 10am local time via Missy-Elliott.com.
