While the industry collectively gasped at the first week sales of Nelly Furtado‘s latest album ‘The Spirit Indestructible’, the singer is not letting the fact she sold just 6000 copies halt her hustle.
For, in the spirit of pressing on, the 33 year old has announced that she is embarking on a tour in support of the album in January.
Details after the jump…
As per Furtado’s official website, the Canadian songbird will set sail on ‘The Spirit Indestructible Tour’ in home territory. Peep the dates below…
Nelly Furtado, The Spirit Indestructible Tour dates:
January 8th Save On Foods Memorial Centre, Victoria
January 9th Orpheum Theatre, Vancouver
January 12th Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium, Calgary
January 14th Esplanade Arts and Heritage Centre, Medicine Hat
January 15th Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium, Edmonton
January 18th MTS Centre, Winnipeg
January 19th Thunder Bay Community Auditorium
January 21st National Arts Centre, Ottawa
January 24th Sony Centre For The Performing Arts, Toronto
January 26th The Colosseum at Caesar’s Windsor, Windsor
January 28th Hamilton Place Theatre, Hamilton
January 29th Centre In The Square, Kitchener
January 30th Théâtre St-Denis, Montreal
*********
Affordable in some respects (ticket prices start at $45), the trek does raise eyebrows in that front-section tickets cost $100 a seat. Common logic immediately begs the question: “if essentially no one bought your $10 album, why would they spend $100 on seats to your small-venue tour?”
Still, we have buckets of love for Nelly’s talent and are keen to see her establish at least one successful “face” to this project – the most plausible being the route she’s going down now – touring. Thereafter, once re-grouped, she and her team can put the wheels in motion to ensure she delivers an album worthy of the strong push ‘TSI’ got. And not six years from now either.

You don’t need a #1 album to sell out tour seats, just ask Rhianna, Madonna, Janet, etc.

A flop album don’t mean a flop tour….thats the same logic behind fact nobody buys madonna’s MDNA for $2 dollars and yet buying her $300 dollar tickets

You don’t only perform songs from a newly released album while on tour silly people. You perform hits as well, and nelly has enough of those to cover a few shows. Give her a break!
