KANYE ANNOUNCES SAINT PABLO TOUR

Kanye West will go back on the road for the first time in three years in the name of his son, Saint.

The Saint Pablo Tour will be promoted exclusively by Live Nation, and kick off on 8/25 at Banker’s Life Arena in Indianapolis, Ind. The North American tour will take West through nearly 40 cities across the U.S. and Canada including dates in New York City, Los Angeles, Toronto, Chicago, Montreal, Detroit and Washington D.C.

G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam's Kanye has always pushed the boundaries when performing live; The Yeezus Tour was a costume and staging spectacle (remember the face mask?) with Kanye collaborating closely with award-winning designer Es Devlin on the show. And don't forget that dramatic presentation staged at Madison Square Garden for the Yeezy Season 3 Fashion Show, which concurrently served as The Life Of Pablo album listening event. Expect the superstar to deliver in equal measure on this newest outing.

But interestingly, it's Tidal members who will get the VIP pass for buying advance tickets in yet another added-value score for the streaming service, with a special pre-sale set up for Tidal subscribers that begins on 6/16.
