You Don’t Want to Miss Janelle Monáe’s Dirty Computer Tour
Entertainment & Sports April 23, 2018 Frederick J. Goodall
Janelle Monáe is awesome. When I listened to her first album, The ArchAndroid, I was amazed by her musical talent. Even Prince became fan. But it wasn’t until I saw, Monáe in concert that I realized what an incredible performer she truly is. I saw her at the Day For Night Fest in Houston, TX which featured other performers such as New Order, the Phillip Glass Ensemble, Mystikal and Kendrick Lamar.
Although Lamar was the headliner,Monáe put on the most memorable performances. She sang, danced, and challenged the audience to stand up to social injustices. It was one hour of pure energy, excitement, joy. Also, her band was tight!
To support her new album, Dirty Computer (set for release on Friday, April 27th), the GRAMMY-nominated singer-songwriter, producer, actress, and activist is preparing to hit the road again with her upcoming North American Dirty Computer Tour.
The 27-city tour produced by Live Nation will kick off June 11th in Seattle, WA and wrap up on August 4th in Atlanta, GA. Fellow Wondaland artists Alexe Belle and Isis Valentino, known together as the soulful duo St. Beauty, will join the tour as a special guest.
Tickets will go on sale to the general public beginning Wednesday, May 2 at LiveNation.com. Every online U.S. ticket purchased for Janelle Monáe’s 2018 Dirty Computer Tour includes a standard digital copy of her new album.
