Missy Elliot Announces ‘Out of This World’ Tour
Over 30 years into her career, Missy Elliot is preparing for her first-ever headlining tour, featuring guests like Ciara, Timbaland, and Busta Rhymes.
On April 8, Elliot announced the dates for her “Out Of This World — The Missy Elliot Experience tour.” Kicking off on July 4 in Vancouver, the rapper will stop in cities around North America including Los Angeles, Houston, and ending in Rosemont, IL. Moreover, artists like Busta Rhymes, Ciara, and Elliot’s longtime musical producer Timbaland will support the summer tour.
The promotional video features Elliot, Rhymes, and Ciara decked out in futuristic leather clothes in front of a spaceship. “In 2024, these three icons come together to show you something you’ve never seen before,” Elliot states in a voiceover at the beginning of the clip.
Towards the end, she calls Timbaland on an old-school brick phone and tells him, “There will be no tour like it.”
“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. 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,” she discussed in an interview with Billboard.
Out Of This World will be co-produced by Live Nation and the rapper’s manager Mona Scott-Young, according to Billboard. “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,” Scott-Young shared.
The tickets will go on sale through a Verizon presale on April 9, and the general sale opens up on April 12. You can watch the Out Of This World sneak peek below.
