Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake have today announced a stadium tour for North America as part of a “Legends of Summer” tour kicking off in July and covering a dozen cities in two months. Special VIP tickets immediately went on sale via VIP Nation, with a broader pre-sale scheduled for Ticketmaster February 27th (code = LEGENDS). There is also a Citi pre-sale and Official Platinum Seats sale currently going on via Ticketmaster.
The Grammy Award-winning pair will launch the tour in Toronto and play the remainder of dates throughout the United States.
Timberlake’s third studio album, The 20/20 Experience, is due March 15th; the lead single, “Suit & Tie”, features Jay-Z.
The Rock Subculture Journal covered another joint concert tour by Jay-Z with Kanye West – “Watch the Throne” – in the UK last year.
