Queen of Quiet Storm Anita Baker sent her dedicated fans into a royal frenzy Thursday (November 10) when she – after months of teasing – confirmed that she’s set to bring her brigade of R&B classics to a venue near you on a newly-announced North American tour!
Details inside.
After rocking Las Vegas a second time via a top-selling residency earlier this year, Baker teased fans with news she would be bringing the critically acclaimed show to different cities across the continent.
Making good on that promise, the eight-time Grammy Award-winning superstar has announced a special run of live dates for 2023 set to kick off in Hollywood, FL on February 11. From there, the diva will touch down in major U.S. markets like Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Baltimore, and more before wrapping up the 15-date jaunt in Oakland’s Oakland Arena on December 23.
The tour will help celebrate the 40th anniversary of the release of her debut solo album, 1983’s ‘The Songstress’ (which features the classics ‘Angel,’ ‘You’re the Best Thing Yet,’ and ‘No More Tears‘), and marks the first time the previously-retired songstress has been on a full-fledged tour (not concert series) since 1995.
Tickets go on sale starting Thursday, November 17 at 10 AM local time on LiveNation.com. For complete presale details visit www.citientertainment.com.
