As first reported here earlier this month, Kanye West will launch a fall tour with Common, Fantasia and Keyshia Cole. The Touch the Sky trek will begin Oct. 11 in Miami and run through Dec. 11 in Vancouver, and includes multiple-night stands at New York’s Theatre at Madison Square Garden and Los Angeles’ Universal Amphitheatre.
“I love performing,” West recently told Billboard. “I love the feeling of these tracks playing, getting the opportunity to hear them really loud and see what’s connecting with people the most.”
West is the hottest artist in the country right now, boasting the No. 1 album on The Billboard 200 with “Late Registration.” The Island/Def Jam set has already sold more than 1.14 million copies in just two weeks. Tomorrow, he will also begin a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Gold Digger” featuring Jamie Foxx.
