With growing critical acclaim from fans and industry insiders under its wings, ‘Sum of My Music’ (in stores now) – the long-awaited debut album from Jussie Smollett – is about to see its content take flight to a number of stages around the world.
The 34-year-old actor/singer/songwriter – who recently lifted a visual for one of the LP’s standout cuts, ‘Hurt People’ (click here to watch) – announced his inaugural tour will see him visit several corners of the United States, Europe, Africa and Asia in its support. Kicking off April 20 in Dubai, the trek has scheduled touchdowns in Germany and France before heading to major U.S. cities Los Angeles, Houston, Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, and more ahead of its wrap up at the New Orleans-hosted Essence Festival on July 7th.
As complaints from UK and South African fans came rolling in after the dates’ initial unveiling, Smollett took to Twitter to ensure announcements regarding stops in both countries are forthcoming. Until news on that, look inside to see if the singer’s first leg of touring will roll into your town:
