Missy Elliott Embarks On First-Ever Headlining Tour: Tickets, Dates & More

It is quite possible that we see another woman in hip-hop rival Nicki Minaj’s latest feat of having the highest-grossing tour by a female rapper with Missy Elliott as a top contender. The iconoclast and Virginia multi-hyphenate announced her first-ever headlining tour, the 2024 OUT OF THIS WORLD tour, set for summer 2024. The upcoming 2024 tour will certainly be monumental for Missy Elliott, especially since she’s bringing along a handful of close collaborators including Busta Rhymes, Ciara, and Timbaland.

The Groundbreaking Tour

Despite being one of the most influential rappers, Missy Elliott has yet to embark on a headlining tour. The upcoming OUT OF THIS WORLD tour arrives following a string of milestones, including an induction into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame (as the first female Hip-Hop artist ever to do so), a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, and becoming the recipient of the 2019 Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at teh VMAs. 

“This is an incredible time in my life as I am experiencing so many milestone ‘firsts.’ Being the FIRST female Hip Hop artist to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and now going out on my FIRST headline tour,” shares Elliott in a press release. “Fans have been asking me to tour forever but I wanted to wait until I felt the time was right because I knew if I was ever going to do it, I had to do it big, and I had to do it with family! So get ready to be taken OUT OF THIS WORLD with me, Busta Rhymes, Ciara, and Timbaland! We can’t wait to share this experience with the fans!”
