Work hard, play hard. Ne-Yo and Akon are joining forces to hit the road for a co-headlining global trek later this year, which was announced on Tuesday (Jan. 27). According to the press release, the two hitmakers will be sharing the stage with a “dynamic back-and-forth set throughout the show stacked with era-defining hits, sing-along anthems and club classics.”
The Nights Like This Tour will is slated to kick off across the pond with a show in Dublin on April 17 and will be making European stops in the U.K., Paris, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Prague, Berlin and Vienna before wrapping up the Euro leg in Lodz, Poland, on May 31.
Ne-Yo and Akon will be bringing a heavy dose of nostalgia and their hit-filled catalogs to the U.S. this summer as the North American leg begins north of the border with a show in Vancouver, B.C., on June 17.
The 57-city trek also includes shows in Montreal, Canada; Atlanta; Charlotte, N.C.; Tampa Bay, Fla.; Hartford, Conn.; Toronto; Syracuse and Long Island in New York; Dallas; Kansas City, Mo.; Houston; Las Vegas and Phoenix, and finishes in Los Angeles with an arena date at the Intuit Dome on Aug. 21.
For U.S. fans, Citi card members will have access to presale starting on Wednesday (Jan. 28), and the general public will have their chance on Friday (Jan. 30) starting at 10 a.m. local time.
