Jill Scott announces "To Whom This May Concern" world tour with 4 nights in Philadelphia
Pre-sale tickets for R&B legend and Philadelphia native Jill Scott's world tour are now available. Pre-sale tickets went live at 10 a.m. Tuesday.
The three-time Grammy-winner released her sixth studio album, "To Whom This May Concern," nearly a month ago. The project marks Scott's first studio album in more than a decade.
The album includes several nods to her hometown, especially on the track "Norf Side," in which Scott sets aside her signature vocals to trade rap verses with fellow North Philadelphian Tierra Whack.
General public ticket sales began Wednesday morning.
When does Jilly from Philly return home?
Fans will get a chance to see Scott for three nights at The Met Philadelphia on July 24, 25 and 27 at 8 p.m. Tickets range from $77 to $655 on Ticketmaster.
On March 11, additional shows were added in several cities along the tour, including a fourth show in Philly on July 29, due to high demand.
Scott's performances add to an already busy summer schedule for the city. MLB All-Star Game festivities at Citizens Bank Park are scheduled a week before the singer comes to town, and rap giant J. Cole will be touring his farewell album, "The Fall-Off," just days before Scott on July 20 and 21 at the Xfinity Mobile Arena.
Her tour will also include international stops in cities such as London, Berlin and Paris before wrapping up in South Africa.
Those lucky enough to secure a ticket for her show should expect to have their phones locked up.
Scott requested a phone-free experience, so phones and other recording devices, including smart glasses, will be prohibited and locked in Yondr pouches, according to Ticketmaster. Guests will still maintain possession of their belongings and can access their phones at designated phone-use areas inside the venue.
The "Hate On Me" singer's world tour kicks off March 26.
