Kehlani Announces Blue Water Road Tour

Kehlani is getting ready to hit the road for a 28-date North American tour in support of their Blue Water Road album, the singer-songwriter announced on Monday (May 16).

The Blue Water Road tour, featuring special guest Rico Nasty, kicks off on July 30 at Red Hat Amphitheater in Raleigh, N.C. The jaunt will make stops in Miami, New York, Chicago, Las Vegas, Detroit, Toronto, Houston and other cities before wrapping up at the Oakland Arena in Kehlani’s hometown of Oakland, Calif., on Friday, Sept. 30.

Tickets go on sale on Friday (May 20) at 10 a.m. ET. However, Citi cardmembers get special access to presale tickets beginning on Tuesday (May 17) at 10 a.m. ET until Thursday (May 19) at 10 p.m. ET.

The European leg of the Blue Water Road tour begins in Copenhagen, Denmark, on Thursday, Nov. 17. Visit Kehlani.com/tour for additional information.

Kehlani’s Blue Water Road LP, which features appearances from Justin Bieber, Syd and Jessie Reyez, debuted at No. 3 on Billboard’s Top R&B Albums chart. The new release deviates into an unapologetically happier space compared to previous releases, the 27-year-old recording artist explained in a recent interview with NME.

“I lost my passion for a while,” admitted Kehlani. “I feel like there’s an erosion of an artist that happens in the music industry – you just get less and less shiny and really dull. I got really dull for a while and now I’m back feeling everything and expressing myself again. It’s pretty priceless.”
