Some of my favorite artists are on tour and I am super excited! Here are some highlights for the upcoming concert season:
Kendrick Lamar Tour
Kendrick Lamar, also known as K. DOT, kicked off his “Kendrick Lamar Tour” on Feb. 8 in Germany. The tour is not set to end until June 29, where he will perform his last show at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Lately, I’ve really been enjoying Lamar’s music. I love how raw he is, lyrically, and I love that he is not afraid to show emotion in his songs. Many rappers today only talk about material things, but Kendrick speaks to me on another level. He’s more of a poet to me and he kind of reminds me of Tupac Shakur. The stories that Kendrick tells through his songs bring a sense of nostalgia to me that I can relate to.

Legends Of The Summer
Recently it was announced that Justin Timberlake and his royal highness Jay-Z would be going on tour together. Rumors of the tour started to float around a few days after the Grammys, according to the entertainment section of the Huffington Post. However, it has now been confirmed. Some of the tour locations include places like the Yankee Stadium in New York, the Rose Bowl in California and Fenway Park in Massachusetts.
This tour should be interesting since Justin and Jay are kind of an unique duo. I don’t know why, but their union is kind of random and unexpected to me. Either way, they are making good music, so I’m not complaining.

The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour
Everyone slick down your edges and grasp them real tight because, come April 15, all wigs will be snatched and all lives will be slayed. Mother Bey announced her tour dates right after her glorious halftime show at the Superbowl held in New Orleans. She has been kicking it into high gear to prepare for it since then.
The tour will be making stops in places like Belgrade, Amsterdam, Berlin, London, Canada, California, New York and, of course, Georgia.
I am so excited about this tour! I’m glad that Beyonce is making a return since she was kind of M.I.A. for a year after the birth of her daughter, Blue. It must be such an exciting time for her. She gets to share the touring experience with her daughter.

Road Trippin’
My favorite hippie is currently on tour right now, spreading all kinds of peace, love and positive energy around.
Mod Sun (Movement On Dreams Stand Under None) is an artist who is up and coming. The Minnesota native has coined a new genre of music called “Hippy Hop,” and I think it’s super cool. I love his heart and his message. His main goal is for everyone to experience true happiness and he describes his music as an “audible smile.”
The tour entitled “Road Trippin’” consists of artists like Cisco Adler, Pat Brown, Tayyib Ali and Choo Jackson. If you are interested, all of the tour dates can be found on Modsunmusic.com. Check them out!
