After opening for Haim at Massey Hall last summer, Lizzo will be back for her own headlining show at Danforth Music Hall this May.
The Minneapolis rapper/singer is the musical equivalent of feeling yourself – irrepressibly funky anthems of self-love, independence and kiss-offs to people not worth her time.
Lizzo recently announced her new album Cuz I Love You, out in April, after an energetic performance of her new single Juice on Ellen, complete with a flute solo. So when she struts into Toronto, she’ll have a whole arsenal of new tunes.
This is her first album on a major, and she deserves it – her songs are one ad placement or celebrity endorsement away from being huge. Just wait.
May 16 at Danforth Music Hall (147 Danforth), doors 7 pm, all ages. $TBA. On sale February 8. ticketmaster.ca
