Chris Brown tour plots fall dates with T-Pain, Kelly Rowland
R&B artist Chris Brown is hitting the road with a trio of his peers this fall. T-Pain, Kelly Rowland and Tyga will all appear as special guests on Brown’s upcoming F.A.M.E. Tour, which begins next month.
The fall trek kicks off September 12 at Molson Canadian Amphitheatre in Toronto, ON, and wraps over a month later on October 30 at the XL Center in Hartford, CT. In all, 28 concert dates have been confirmed for the North American outing.
Along the way, Breezy will take the stage September 17 at Verizon Center in Washington, DC; September 28 at 1st Mariner Arena in Baltimore, MD; October 15 at Gexa Energy Center in Dallas, TX; and October 20 at Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA.
Aside from the opening night, no other Canadian markets have been announced for Brown’s tour at this point. More tour details are available on the artist’s official Web site.
Presales begin this Friday, August 12, with public onsales opening early next week on August 15. Current listings on Ticketmaster.com and LiveNation.com reflect a wide array of ticket prices between $25 and $150 in a handful of markets.
“This tour will allow me to paint a picture musically,” Brown said in a prepared statement about the F.A.M.E. Tour. “I want to bring a lot of energy and excitement to all the fans. It’s going to be a great show.”
Brown released his fourth studio album, “F.A.M.E.,” in mid-March.
The singer’s career took a major blow after he pled guilty to the 2009 assault of then-girlfriend Rihanna. But a solid core of supporters helped the early spring 2011 album move about 270,000 units, earning the performer his first No. 1 notch on the Billboard 200.
