Erykah Badu plots massive world tour, hopes airlines get their shit together before it starts

Put down your The Weeknd records and get those ticket-buying bots ready, kids; because classic neo-soul is back courtesy of the timeless Erykah Badu and her newly-announced world tour!

It’s called the “Badu Vs. Everythang Tour,” and true to its name, it’s hitting just about every place human civilization has ever touched, including Japan, France, Italy, and, heck, even Newark. Badu’s international odyssey will also take her to major festivals around the globe, including more jazz and funk fests than anyone probably knew existed. Scan all the dates below to find a township, district, or municipality near you.

In case you forgot, Badu’s last release was the brilliant 2015 mixtape But You Caint Use My Phone, which earned a soft spot in our hearts (and a hard spot on our Favorite Mixtapes of November 2015 column). But heck, you should probably just brush up on the rest of her back catalog while you’re at it.
