Multi-talented Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter and producer Victoria Monét will head out on her first-ever solo headlining tour The JAGUAR Tour later this year to celebrate her new album JAGUAR II, arriving August 25 via Lovett Music/RCA Records. After quickly selling out the entire tour in minutes including her London show, today Victoria has announced the details of an extra date at The Roundhouse, London on Sunday 12th November 2023. Tickets go on sale Friday 21st July at 10am and will be available from www.gigsandtours.com
Due to the 2020 pandemic, she was unable to tour any songs from the critically acclaimed JAGUAR – this will be the first time any songs from JAGUAR and JAGUAR II will be toured. The announcement of The JAGUAR Tour follows the release of “On My Mama”— the 3rd single off of Monét’s upcoming album JAGUAR II. The summer empowerment anthem has already made a heavy impact with over 6 million streams within the first 3 weeks of its release. “On My Mama” was preceded by the dancehall-influenced smash “Party Girls” ft. Buju Banton. The Sean Bankhead-choreographed “Party Girls” music video garnered an incredible reaction to Victoria’s performance, leading to her trending for several days, hitting the YouTube Trending Top 15. “Party Girls” and early spring single “Smoke” ft. Lucky Daye both have garnered heavy praise from the likes of Billboard, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Flaunt, Nylon, Hypebeast, FLOOD Magazine, and more. All three singles mark the beginning of a new era for Victoria Monét, ending the long-awaited pause since her heralded 2020 solo project, JAGUAR.
Following the initial JAGUAR era, Monét turned up the heat with a string of releases including collaborations featuring Kehlani (“Touch Me (Remix)”) and a Spotify single with Bryson Tiller (“We Might Even Be Falling In Love (Duet)”). Additional tracks such as “Coastin” built the foundation of the JAGUAR sound and emphasised its staying power with impressive visuals all set in Monét’s signature brown tones and 70s influences. Monét’s breakthrough artistry led to appearances on The Late Night Show with Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Late Show With Stephen Colbert’s #PlayAtHome + festivals such as Made In America, Sol Blume, and Day N Vegas.
In March, Monét sold out her first-ever headlining show in Los Angeles at the El Rey Theatre in partnership with Spotify and Goldenvoice – which sold out in under one minute – and participated in one of CultureCon LA’s fireside chats on June 17th. As a new member of RCA Records, the superstar has been steadily turning up the heat in preparation for her upcoming projects. Whether it’s preparing for her very first headlining tour, or building anticipation for release of her much-desired album JAGUAR II, there’s no doubt that Victoria Monet is not cooling down anytime soon.
