Jill Scott Announces Summer Tour
Grammy award-winning artist Jill Scott announced Monday that she will be heading out on tour this summer, which kicks off July 13 in Pittsburgh. The tour consists of 25 concert dates and will conclude on August 28 in Phoenix.
On Monday, Scott also dropped a new single titled “Fools Gold.” The new song will be on her upcoming fifth studio album, which is currently untitled and does not yet have a release date. It is her first album since the release of The Light of the Sun in 2011.
“Fans have patiently waited four years for new music,” Maverick management partner and Scott’s longtime business partner Shawn Gee said in a statement. “When they hear Jill perform live this summer … it’ll be worth the wait.”
Tickets for the tour go on sale to the public on May 15th.
