Kanye West revealed in a recent TV appearance that he’ll embark on a joint tour with Lady Gaga later this year. West said, “She’s talented and so incredible that she’s not an opening act. We’re doing it together, with no opening act.” Perez Hilton says that Gaga and Yeezy will instead spend the entire show onstage performing together. One thing is certain: This show will definitely be one of the hottest backstage pass requests this year.
It’s no surprise that Kanye is a fan of Lady Gaga, who fronted Rolling Stone’s annual Hot Issue. West recently interpolated Gaga’s “Poker Face” hit into the Kid Cudi track “I Make Her Say” or “I Poke Her Face” as the kids on the streets call it. Kanye has even gone as far as saying Gaga is this generation’s Madonna. Kanye is also no stranger to recruiting the top talent on the charts to join him on tour, as his epic Glow In The Dark tour last year featured Rihanna, Chris Brown, N.E.R.D. and Lupe Fiasco.
The multiplatinum artists will unite for 34 shows in 34 cities, kicking off at the US Airways Center in Phoenix, AZ on November 10th and runs through January 24th at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.
