Special to Independent Newsmedia
Aminé will bring his tour across North America, the UK, and Europe to Phoenix later this year.
In support of his recently-released album “13 Months of Sunshine,” Aminé will kick off the tour in his hometown of Portland before arriving at Arizona Financial Theatre on Sept. 25. Lido will also appear at the Phoenix show.
Tickets will be available starting with an artist pre-sale starting at 7 a.m. Wednesday, May 28. Register at https://aminemusic.com/.
The general on sale begins at 9 a.m. Friday, May 30.
The tour announcement follows a pair of sold out release parties in Los Angeles and New York, where Aminé celebrated the release of the new album and debuted the songs live for the first time since its release. The title “13 Months of Sunshine” is a play on the Gregorian 13-month calendar that Aminé’s native Ethiopia and Eritrea follow, as well as a direct reference to the Western marketing campaigns to entice tourists to visit Ethiopia in the 60s and 70s.
“They came up with this slogan to show people that there was so much more to Ethiopia than what is advertised,” the rapper shared. “I related so heavily to it, because on this album, I am showing that there’s so much more than what everyone assumes about my music — myself included.”
