KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Janelle Monáe is returning to her hometown this fall.
The singer and actress is bringing her “Age of Pleasure” tour to Kansas City’s Midland Theatre on Sept. 9.
Monáe will kick off her 26-city tour in August in Seattle and wrap it up in October in the Los Angeles area.
Just a few months before the tour, the Kansas City, Kansas, native will releases her first album in five years, “The Age of Pleasure,” on June 9. She’s already dropped her first single from the album, “Lipstick Lover.”
Monáe is known for hits like “Cold War,” “Make Me Feel” and “Tightrope,” plus featured vocals on Fun’s “We Are Young.” Her last album “Dirty Computer” was nominated for Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards.
She’s also had standout roles in multiple films, including “Hidden Figures,” “Moonlight” and “Glass Onion.”
