KANYE WEST’S “GLOW IN THE DARK TOUR” HEADED TO THE FRANK ERWIN CENTER APRIL 30

Tickets go on sale Saturday, March 1 at 10AM

AUSTIN, TEXAS – Two weeks after Kanye West put a concert poster on his blog for the upcoming “Glow in the Dark Tour,” co-starring Rihanna, N.E.R.D and Lupe Fiasco, his label, Def Jam, made the official announcement and the tour will be headed to the Frank Erwin Center April 30.

West, Rihanna and Fiasco are heading out on tour fresh off Grammy wins. West took home multiple awards, including Best Rap Album for Graduation while Lupe Fiasco won in the Best Urban/Alternative Performance category for “Daydreamin'” and Rihanna took home the Best Rap/Sung Collaboration award for “Umbrella.”

Currently, Fiasco is on a tour of his own, while the Pharrell-led N.E.R.D is putting the finishing touches on their latest album, N*3*R*D. Rihanna, meanwhile, is in the studio working on the follow-up to her breakthrough album, last year's Good Girl Gone Bad.

West recently finished up the European leg of his “Glow in the Dark Tour,” where he made numerous headlines. The outspoken rapper and producer delivered his first words about the sudden death of his mother, Donda West, during the string of shows and at the Grammy’s with his performance of “Hey Mama,” a tribute to his mother who passed away late last year.
