Jhené Aiko is set to cast her musical spell over the Footprint Center in Phoenix this summer, bringing her "The Magic Hour Tour" to town on August 1. The six-time Grammy nominee isn't rolling alone; she's bringing a power-pack of artists with her, including Coi Leray, Tink, UMI, and Kiana Ledé, a Valley native.

Fans can look to ABC15 for the announcement, which includes ticket sales opening to the public this Friday, March 29, at 10 a.m. This tour marks a nationwide trek across 27 stops, promising to quickly turn each venue into a fan-packed fiesta that, Aiko aficionados hope, to more firmly entrench her as a mainstay in the progressive R&B scene.

Aiko, who last blessed fans with her critically acclaimed album "Chilombo" in 2020, has kept her momentum going with a selection of new singles dropped over the past year. According to Variety, Aiko has shared tracks like "Sun/Son," a dedication to her one-year-old, and others such as "calm & patient" and "alive & well (gratitude mantra)."

With her previously planned "The Magic Hour" tour nixed due to pandemic disruptions, fans are eagerly waiting to snap up tickets and see Aiko back on stage to basically capture the magic she's known for delivering live. The tour, which starts on June 19 in Detroit, will swing through major cities including Brooklyn, Las Vegas, and Atlanta, before wrapping up in Columbus, OH, on August 22. For eager fans, a presale opportunity to secure tickets began on March 27 at 10 a.m. local time.

 "The Magic Hour Tour" is billed to be one of the can't-miss events of the summer. As additional acts hit the Phoenix Footprint Center later this year, including Chris Brown, Usher, and Jennifer Lopez, it's safe to say that the Valley will be the place to be for music lovers. Those interested in attending Aiko's entrancing evening can visit her official website for ticket information. With the tour lighting up venues across the nation, fans can finally bask in Aiko's long-awaited return to the stage.
