Lizzo has recently come out to reveal that she will be performing in concerts again in 2023.
Following her most recent news album, The Special, and viral hit About Damn Time, Lizzo has booked a brand-new performance calendar for 2023. Beginning in February, the 34-year-old pop sensation will start her tour in Europe and then go to North America in April for the second half.
Lizzo is scheduled to conduct more than thirty events in Europe and North America under the continuous "The Special Tour." She will be playing in prominent cities like Toronto, New York, Los Angeles, Paris, and London. Two evenings at the esteemed Madison Square Garden in New York City also constitute part of the North American leg.
Lizzo expressed her excitement about the gigs on Twitter, saying "I can't wait to see my loves in Europe and North America! This trip will be unique. The psychological help. The affection support. CANNOT WAIT TO SEE YOU THERE!
It follows Lizzo's fourth studio album, "Special," which came out in July of this year. Reaching second place on the Billboard 200, this encouraging and motivating CD turned out to be her best-selling record at the time. Since then, Lizzo has been nominated for Album of the Year and Record of the Year multiple times at Grammy Awards.
The album’s opening track ‘About Damn Time’ also marked Lizzo’s second Hot 100 chart-topper, following her debut hit ‘Truth Hurts’ in 2019. Both songs embody Lizzo’s ability to craft catchy, fun, sing-a-long pop bangers about empowering yourself.
Nevertheless, Lizzo dreams of becoming a global pop star overnight in 2019 despite the fact that she has been seriously building her career for over a decade. She relocated to Minneapolis, Minnesota as a young rapper and singer in 2011 and started releasing several albums independently which showcased her voice and ability to leave encouraging messages in her songs.
Coconut Oil, an EP released in 2017, was her initial attempt towards chart success with ‘Good As Hell’ gradually trending on the internet. However, it was not until the third album Cuz I Love You released in 2019 that Lizzo became an international sensation. The album was an immediate success and critics’ darling; Lizzo received eight Grammy nods and the release solidified her niche.
Musically, Lizzo combines her signature pop choruses with elements of R&B, soul, and funk. Her voice has been described as strong and soulful, similar to the legendary singers Aretha Franklin and Chaka Khan. What has helped Lizzo build one of the most dedicated fanbases in music, however, is her technical skill, stage presence, and empowering lyrics.
In her live performances, Lizzo is famous for preaching the message of self-acceptance and self-celebration. Her concerts are more like a unity rally where everyone is encouraged to celebrate who they are. They are also packed with fragments that prove the singer was a very talented flute player.
The next 2023 tour promises to become one of the most grandiose performances of Lizzo. Well, going by previous concerts, the audience should be prepared for a lively and enthusiastic performance with well-timed, energetic dance numbers, heartfelt slow tracks, a good measure of flute work, and Lizzo’s uplifting speeches.
There will also be likely to expect some of the surprise guests during the tour as well. Recent live shows and television performances have included cameos from such iconic rappers as Missy Elliott, SZA and Cardi B In social networks people are already discussing who can appear in ‘The Special Tour’.
It seems fitting that with Lizzo now established as one of pop’s most magnetic performers, the 2023 tour comes off as a victory lap for her ascent to superstardom. Lizzo has worked tirelessly, and after years of inspiring people to embrace their bodies and love themselves, she deserves her place as a pop star with multiple platinum albums.
Her rapid rise to stardom is all the more a good example of hard work and commitment in equal measure. And so, when Lizzo goes on ‘The Special Tour’ next year, she’ll surely be performing to some of her largest audiences. They will arrive to sing and dance to the catchy pop hits but they will leave uplifted after another Lizzo love gospel.
Typically, tickets for her shows sell out within record time, especially after her recent performance at the Apollo Theater in New York, fans are encouraged to get their tickets as soon as they are on sale this week. Undoubtedly ‘The Special Tour’ is going to be one of the most sought-after shows next year!
So prepare yourself, world – Lizzo and her hordes of admirers are going to launch a colossal worldwide crusade for self-appreciation. And, of course, everyone is welcome to join what will undoubtedly become a vibrant celebration of joy and optimism!
