The nationwide tour begins May 12 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, after which DJ Cassidy will then host one-night-only events throughout the year, each with a different lineup.
“I am overwhelmed with excitement and emotion as I announce the first in a series of one-night-only’ Pass The Mic Live!’ events,” DJ Cassidy said in a press release. “Transforming a show that began in my living room into a live arena concert is simply surreal. I am so honored to be uniting yet another iconic list of my musical heroes, this time live on stage, and I am so grateful for the Black Promoters Collective, whose grand vision, foresight, and experience, is my guiding light.”
The president of the Black Promoters Collective, Shelby Joyner, added: “DJ Cassidy is a shining light in pop culture, and we are honored to partner with him on what is sure to be one of the most epic tours of the year.”
Fans looking to attend can get presale tickets that are currently on sale with the code SJPRESENTS. General sale will start on Friday (March 9) at 10:00 a.m. ET on Ticketmaster.
