Lupe Fiasco & N.E.R.D. to Join Kanye’s Glow in the Dark Tour

 •  XXL Magazine  •  by XXL Staff  •  18 Comments

In a posting on his blog at kanyeuniversecity.com on Tuesday (January 29), Kanye West finally revealed the lineup for the next leg of his “Glow in the Dark” tour. A Star Wars inspired flyer depicting Kanye bathed in a glowing metallic liquid announces that Lupe Fiasco, Pharrell Williams’ group N.E.R.D. and pop princess Rihanna will be joining the Louis Vuitton Don on what is sure to be one of the biggest tours of the year. N.E.R.D., which consists of Pharrell, Chad Hugo and Shay Haley, are currently prepping their third studio LP, N.3.R.D., and they recently leaked the first single, the Timbaland assisted “Everyone Nose” onto the internet. In November, ‘Ye kicked off the first leg of the tour with a string of European shows that included space-age themed stage sets and exotic lighting displays. While few details have been revealed, the Chicago native has repeatedly hinted that the next stage of the outing will be monumental. Tour dates and show locations are anybodies guess at this point as no official schedule has been announced. According to Nielsen Soundscan, Yeezy’s acclaimed third LP, Graduation, has moved 1,958,201 units to-date.
