Janelle Monáe is releasing a new album, The Age of Pleasure, on June 9 via Wondaland Arts Society/Atlantic. Now she has announced a late summer and fall North American tour in support of the album. The tour stretches from late August to mid October. Check out all the dates below.

The general onsale for tickets is next Wednesday, June 7, at 10 a.m. local time, with various presales starting today.

In February Monáe shared The Age of Pleasure’s opening track, “Float,” which features Seun Kuti and Egypt 80. Then in May, when the album was announced, she shared its second single, “Lipstick Lover,” via a NSFW music video. “Lipstick Lover” was one of our Songs of the Week.

It’s been five years since Monáe’s last album, 2018’s Dirty Computer. But since then she’s kept busy acting, such as co-starring in the 2022 Netflix movie Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.
