The North American leg of the Baile Funk Experience Tour will kick off May 18 at Salon LA in Mexico City and wrap June 2 at the Brooklyn Paramount in New York City. Anitta’s itinerary will also include stops in Miami, Orlando, Boston, Toronto, and Chicago. (While this marks Anitta’s first official North American tour, she has played plenty of one-off gigs and festivals here over the past several years, including Coachella in 2022.)

Tickets will go on sale for all shows April 12 at 10 a.m. local time (except the Mexico City gig, which will go on sale April 11 at 10 a.m. local time). There will be several different pre-sales as well, starting tomorrow, April 9. Full info is available on Anitta’s website.

Following Anitta’s North American trek, she’ll play a handful of shows in South America before heading over to the U.K. and Europe. The run wraps July 8 in Ibiza, Spain.

Anitta is set to release Funk Generation on April 26 via Republic Records/Universal Music Latin Entertainment. The album marks her sixth studio effort and will follow 2022’s Versions of Me. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the musician spoke about how a cancer scare in 2022 compelled her to overhaul her management and label teams so she could focus on making an album steeped in Brazilian funk (a.k.a. “funk carioca” or “baile funk”) — a frenetic mix of hip-hop, African rhythms, and electronic music.

“I was thinking I was going to die,” she said. “And I said, ‘You know what? I’m going to do an album for myself in case it’s the last thing I do — not worrying about what’s going to happen after the album, not worrying about if the album is going to be good, if people are going to like it, if it’s going to be on the charts.’”
