Produced by Live Nation, the 22-city trek will kick off in the fall with a September 25 stop in Hollywood, Florida, at the Hard Rock Live at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.

Aguilera’s tour includes dates in Boston, Detroit, Denver, Los Angeles and Atlanta before wrapping up in St. Petersburg, Florida, on November 13.

The tour will offer Aguilera’s fans a chance to see her in relatively intimate venues, including New York’s Radio City Music Hall and the Chicago Theatre.

The singer’s new album, Liberation, will be released on June 15 and every online ticket purchased for the tour will include a standard CD copy of the release.

The first song from the collection, “Accelerate,” (featuring Ty Dolla $ign and 2 Chainz), dropped last week and she will perform the new track “Fall in Line” with Demi Lovato at the Billboard Music Awards on May 20.

American Express card members can buy tickets before the general public beginning on Monday, May 14 at 10 a.m. local time through Thursday, May 17 at 10 pm ET. Tickets will go on sale to the general public starting Friday, May 18 at 10 am ET here.

Louis C.K. Looking to Make History at Madison Square Gardem with His Comedy Tour

Louis C.K. is looking to go three for three at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.

The 47-year-old actor and stand-up comedian emailed his subscribers on Monday to announce a January 24 show at the iconic New York venue.

He previously sold out two Madison Square Garden shows this month, and if he sells out the third, he’ll be the first comedian to sell out the venue three times in one month for the same tour.

Louis C.K. sold out the first two shows without marketing or publicity, aside from an email he sent to his mailing list. January 24 will mark his final show of the tour, and he will begin production on his Emmy-winning FX‘s comedy series Louie shortly after the tour’s conclusion.

Louis C.K. was nominated for best actor in a TV series, musical or comedy at Sunday’s Golden Globes for the critically acclaimed series. Season five is expected this spring.

He has a history of marketing directly to his fans. In 2011, he sold a comedy special taped at New York’s Beacon Theatre on his website for $5. Sales topped $1 million.

His latest tour also saw him sell out the Chicago Theatre four times last week as well as the Forum in Los Angeles.
