The R&B and soul singer famed for her electrifying performances, Patti LaBelle, is scheduled to go on tour in 2023. Up to date at the age of 78, Patti has not lost the ability to mesmerize her fans with her great voice and spectacular performance. This new tour will see Patti move around the United States and Canada, entertaining her fans with songs she has done throughout her more than fifty-year singing career.
Concert tours are always expected with great expectations since Patti is popular for her energetic performances that portray passion. Even though she has been in the music industry for more than forty years, she still has a strong voice and she sings songs with passion like how she used to do in the 1960s when she was singing for the Bluebelles. Viewers can look forward to chilling ad-lib, passionate ballads, and some groovin’ uptempo when Patti and her band hit the stage.
It starts on the 1st of March in Richmond, Virginia before moving up to Pittsburgh, Toronto, Chicago, Denver, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Houston, and other cities. During the spring and summer season, she will be performing in theaters and arenas across the country. The last point until further notice is Atlantic City, New Jersey on August 12th.
Patti is on the road promoting her new album which was released in 2022 and titled Good to Be Here. Of course, her setlists will include some of her greatest hits such as ‘If Only You Knew,’ ‘On My Own,’ and ‘New Attitude,’ but two or three songs from this new record are expected to be part of the performance. Good to Be Here was quite a soulful album where Patti went back to her R&B style with contributions from major producers including Babyface, Raphael Saadiq, and Tayla Parx. Songs such as ‘Somebody Loves You Baby (You Know Who It Is)’ or the groovy and swinging title track must feature on the list.
Of course, anyone who has seen Patti LaBelle in concert would not be surprised if she walked into the audience and started singing. This is not a rare occurrence for Patti to leave the stage with her microphone in hand dancing and hugging people in different parts of the auditorium. Her jokes and dialogues with the audience are new every time as she depends on the audience’s response. And her repartee is as good as the songs she sings, she makes humorous remarks in between songs.
Patti’s goal throughout her sets is to give thousands of her audience this feeling of a private show while singing. That is why she is considered one of the most outstanding live performers. Regardless of whether she is performing a soft pop ballad or a passionate funky soul song, there is something undeniably personal about Patti and her connection with the audience that makes the audience feel as if she is singing to them. Audiences leave her shows exhilarated and encouraged - and possibly with sore vocal cords or tired dancing calves from pandering to Patti’s non-stop high-energy performance that seems to emanate plentiful youthful liveliness.
However, for the most part, fans looking to see Patti on this current string of dates have been able to secure tickets instantly at most of the tour stops. It is also advisable to keep on visiting the venue box offices closer to show dates as they may release more tickets. Second-hand tickets are also still an option as well Tickets bought from other people also remain an option too. Considering the fans who followed Patti’s tours for years, a ticket may become available closer to the event’s start that someone else can grab.
Sixty minutes into the revered performer’s nearly six-decade career that continues to thrive, the audience is witness to a quintessential Patti LaBelle concert. Her 2023 tour will in one way or the other come up with more magical experiences and moments in her career. It is a golden opportunity for the fan base of all generations and people who are discovering her artistry to have a direct experience of watching a legendary icon – Patti LaBelle who still graces stages with her dazzling light.
