Janelle Monáe is making 2018 her year. The Grammy-nominated songstress will be releasing her anticipated third studio album Dirty Computer on Friday (April 27), and today she has announced her return to the stage with the official “Dirty Computer Tour.”
The 27-city North American tour will kick off June 11 in Seattle, WA. Produced by Live Nation, the outing will travel across the country making stops in famous amphitheaters and theaters in Los Angeles, Detroit, Nashville, New York, Atlanta, Miami and more before wrapping August 4 in Atlanta, GA. Monáe’s Wondaland Arts Society group, St. Beauty, will support as the tour’s opening act.
Monaé’s new album has already been preceded by the hot singles and visuals “Make Me Feel,” “Django Jane,” and “PYNK.” To accompany the tour announcement the revered performer has also premiered the music video for her latest single, “I Like That.”
The creative visual gives fans another look into her multifaceted ability as a creative, featuring the star sitting beside a peacock, in a bathtub around flamingos, or surrounded by other versions of herself. Monáe professes self-love throughout, telling you what she enjoys while diffusing sexual tension in the air.
