Tony/Grammy/Emmy Award winner Billy PorterGrammy/Emmy/Tony Award-winner Billy Porter has announced his first-ever career-spanning pop music concert tour – The Black Mona Lisa Tour: Volume 1.
For six weeks this spring, Billy will grace stages in 25 U.S. cities, kicking off on April 29 in Seattle, WA at Paramount Theatre.
The tour will continue visiting major markets across the country such as New York, NY and Los Angeles, CA as well as his hometown of Pittsburgh, PA.
Expect a full band, backed by a video installation, fronted by Billy telling his life story through song.
The 90-minute powerhouse event will feature his chart-topping hits “Love Is On the Way” and “Love Yourself,” along with a tinge of Broadway, a nod to Pose, and stunning performances of future pop classics from his forthcoming new album, Black Mona Lisa.
“It’s really the first time that I’ve been able to fully express myself and who I am through my music – through my mainstream pop music space,” Billy shared about the upcoming tour. “It’s like my magnum opus. It’s everything to me. You’ll really get a glimpse into who I am even deeper with this music.”
Billy announced the tour during an appearance on The TODAY Show this morning, as well as the release date of his new single, “Baby Was A Dancer,” arriving March 24.
Tickets for The Black Mona Lisa Tour: Volume 1 go on sale beginning Friday, March 10.
