R&B Powerhouse Ari Lennox Hits the Road With Her Critically Acclaimed Album ‘Vacancy’

Ari Lennox has a third album that’s been turning heads since it dropped, and now she’s bringing it to 31 cities across North America. The “Vacancy Tour,” produced by Live Nation, kicks off April 12th in Seattle and runs through June 6th in Charlotte. This is a proper full-scale tour, and it’s been a long time coming.

‘Vacancy’ is the album behind it all, a record three years in the making that finds Lennox operating with full creative autonomy. Standout singles include “Twin Flame,” produced by Tommy “TBHits” Brown and Leather Jacket, “Under the Moon,” and the title track “Vacancy,” which reunites her with Grammy-winning hitmakers Jermaine Dupri and Bryan-Michael Cox, the same duo behind her RIAA platinum-certified smash “Pressure.” The album delivers on every level.

Lennox’s 2023 sophomore album ‘Age/Sex/Location’ sent her on a sold-out tour across Los Angeles, Atlanta, Boston, and beyond. ‘Vacancy’ raises the stakes considerably, with a larger routing and rooms that match where she is as an artist right now. Massey Hall in Toronto. The Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. Brooklyn Paramount. These are landmark venues, and she’s filling them.

The tour covers virtually every major market on the continent, wrapping a six-week run that makes stops in Los Angeles, New Orleans, Atlanta, Miami, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, and more. Canadian fans get their moment too, with Lennox landing at Toronto’s Massey Hall on May 20th.
