Erykah Badu announces New Orleans concert

Neo-soul icon Erykah Badu will perform at the UNO Lakefront Arena on Sunday, May 28. The singer-songwriter, producer and actress last took the stage in New Orleans during the 2015 Essence Festival.

Badu will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of her 1997 debut album Baduizm, a Grammy Award-winning effort that featured the hit single “On & On,” when she hits the road this year. Her most recent official studio album, New Amerykah Part Two, was released in 2010, though plenty of new material appeared on her 2015 mixtape But You Can’t Use My Phone.

Tickets for Badu’s upcoming New Orleans show will go on sale this Friday, April 7 at 10am.
