Janelle Monáe Announces ‘Age of Pleasure' U.S. Tour — Here's When She'll Be in NYC

Janelle Monáe is going on tour.

The American singer, rapper and actress has announced that she will be going on a North American tour in support of her upcoming album — "The Age of Pleasure" — which is due out on June 9 via Wondaland Arts Society/Atlantic Records. This marks the 37-year-old singer's first album in five years since 2018’s "Dirty Computer."

The 26-city trek, which is titled the "Age of Pleasure Tour," will kick off on August 30 in Seattle, Wash., winding through a total of 26 U.S. and Canadian cities before wrapping up in Inglewood, Cali., on October 18.

So when will the artist be coming to New York City? Monáe has a show on Sept. 26 at Radio City Music Hall in Manhattan, as well as a Sept. 28 show at the Kings Theater in Brooklyn.

Monáe recently told Rolling Stones in an interview that “being an artist gets lonely” and the new album has helped to calm her anxiety.

“I think being an artist gets lonely,” Monáe said. “Most people don’t understand what’s going on in my brain. Community has been so helpful to me; it’s beautiful that I have a title called The Age of Pleasure because it actually re-centers me. It’s not about an album anymore. I’ve changed my whole f------ lifestyle.”

Presale for tickets will go live on Thursday, June 1 for Verizon subscribers, while the general sale will begin Wednesday, June 7 at 10 am, just two days before the album itself drops.
