The global star will visit over 40 cities across two continents & The UK
Multi-platinum, 13-time Grammy Award-winner John Legend has announced the Get Lifted 20th Anniversary World Tour, bringing his acclaimed debut album back to the stage. Kicking off May 27th at OVO Hydro in Glasgow, UK—with select dates produced by Live Nation—the tour will visit over 40 cities across the UK, Europe, and North America, including stops at The O2 in London, Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam, Accor Arena in Paris, Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, and Barclays Center in New York, with additional dates to be announced soon.
Presales for UK and European dates begin tomorrow (Wed, Mar 19th) with general on-sale starting Friday, March 21st. North America presales begin Wednesday, March 26th, followed by general on-sale Friday, March 28th.
Backed by his full band, Legend’s Get Lifted 20th Anniversary World Tour will showcase a set list celebrating the entirety of Get Lifted, which garnered eight nominations and won three Grammy Awards at the 48th Annual Grammy Awards, including Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for “Ordinary People,” Best R&B Album for Get Lifted, and Best New Artist. Each night, Legend will deliver a mix of deep cuts, fan favorites, and fresh renditions of the album’s beloved tracks like the Grammy-winning “Ordinary People” (his breakout hit that reached the Billboard Top 40 and the UK R&B Singles chart), “Used to Love U,” “Number One,” and “So High.” In addition to honoring Get Lifted, the live show will feature Legend’s other career-spanning hits, showcasing the musical depth and storytelling that have been hallmarks of his artistry for the past two decades.
To celebrate the tour announcement, Legend will stop by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon this evening (Tues, Mar 18th) where he’ll appear as both a talk and musical guest, performing “Used to Love U” alongside Black Thought, backed by The Roots. Bringing a fresh take to one of the album’s essential tracks, Black Thought is featured on the remixed version of “Used 2 Love U,” which appears on the digital deluxe and 3 LP vinyl editions of Get Lifted (20th Anniversary), out now. In addition to Black Thought, the celebratory release features new contributions from other guest artists including Tems, Killer Mike, Lil Wayne, and Simi. Expanding the original album with 11 bonus tracks, Get Lifted (20th Anniversary) includes eight brand-new remixes, rare B-sides, and two previously unreleased studio performances recorded during the original Get Lifted sessions.
Recorded in a variety of studios across the U.S. from 2001-2004, Get Lifted was originally released in the United States through GOOD Music, Sony Urban Music and Columbia Records on December 28, 2004 (Legend’s 26th birthday). The album’s uncanny melodic blend of R&B, neo-soul, hip-hop, cosmopolitan sophistication, and sly street smarts signaled the arrival of a new major artist with deep musical roots, an affinity for pop music, and a plan for the future.
With all songs written or co-written by Legend, who also served as co-producer on much of the album, Get Lifted introduced him to the world as a top-tier tunesmith with a lyrical sensibility that captured the full spectrum and emotional reality of human affairs, from the raunchy to the sublime.
