Missy Elliot along with some high-profile support acts will embark on a tour of arenas in 24 cities this year. Surprisingly, this is the first headline tour she has ever done since her explosive 1990s debut. Supporting her along the way will be a trio of figures that are also instantly recognizable to anyone who knows Elliott’s career: Busta Rhymes, Ciara and Timbaland
The tour — “Out of This World: The Missy Elliott Experience Tour” — begins July 4 in Vancouver and wraps up Aug. 22 in Rosemont, Illinois. Key stops include shows on July 11 at L.A,’s Crypto Arena, Aug. 9 at Newark, NJ’s Prudential Center, and Aug. 12 at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center. The outing will also take her to cities including Boston, Detroit, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Las Vegas, Oakland, Seattle, Austin, Houston, Tampa, Baltimore, Montreal and Toronto.
The tour was teased Monday with a sci-fi-oriented clip, directed by famed music video director Dave Meyers, starring three of the four principals.
