The princess of hip-hop and R&B is officially making her highly anticipated return Down Under. GRAMMY® Award-winning singer, songwriter, and actress Ashanti has announced she will be heading to Australia and New Zealand this November for her massive headline Rock Wit U Tour. Locking in a string of major theatre and arena stages, the tour marks a triumphant comeback following her massively successful international run, which included a recent viral UK arena tour alongside Sean Paul.
“Australia and New Zealand have always shown me so much love, and I’m so excited to be coming back this coming Fall for my ‘Rock Wit U’ tour,” “The energy, the fans, the memories—it’s always so amazing. I can’t wait to Rock with you all!”
Ever since her self-titled 2002 debut album skyrocketed her to global stardom—shattering records as the fastest-selling debut album by a female artist in history—Ashanti has remained a definitive pillar of modern R&B. Boasting over 30 million albums sold worldwide and a pristine star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, her upcoming live shows promise a heavy dose of nostalgia. Fans can expect an arena-sized setlist packed with her iconic solo anthems like “Foolish,” “Only U,” and the resurrected classic “Rock Wit U (Awww Baby),” alongside her legendary generation-defining collaborations with Ja Rule (“Always On Time,” “Mesmerize”), Fat Joe (“What’s Luv?”), and Fabolous (“Into You”).
The tour rollout moves quickly, with a limited pre-sale window launching on Tuesday, June 2nd at 1:00 PM local time. The general public ticket sale will follow on Thursday, June 4th at 1:00 PM local time.
Whether you are looking to relive the golden era of early-2000s R&B or catch one of music’s most enduring live performers in her element, this tour is shaping up to be an unmissable November highlight. Fans can register for exclusive presale access and grab tickets below.
