Grammy-Award winning rapper Missy Elliott plans to take fans to another planet with the announcement of her first-ever headlining tour, Out of This World.
Elliott announced plans for the 24-city North American tour on Monday, April 8, and confirmed that she’s bringing Busta Rhymes, Ciara, and her hitmaking partner in crime, Timbaland, along for the summer excursion.
“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,” Elliott said via statement.
“Fans have been asking me to tour forever,” she continued, “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!” Elliott concluded.
The tour is set to kick off on Independence Day in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, before hitting several major U.S. markets, including Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, and more.
A special Verizon presale of tickets runs from April 9-11 before the general sale begins on April 12.
