The Rock Hall of Famer plans to embark on her first tour in
eight years beginning October1 at the Sprint Center in Kansas
City, Mo.
The arena tour will be promoted by AEG Live and will
include about three dozen shows in North America, likely to be
followed by engagements in Europe and other international
dates.
Turner announced the tour at a taping of "The Oprah Winfrey
Show" set to air Thursday. She said tickets will go on sale May
12.
Turner's 2000 tour, billed as her last, was the
top-grossing jaunt of that year, according to Billboard
Boxscore.
It grossed almost $110 million from 89 shows and drew more
than 2 million people, averaging more than 24,000 a night in
attendance. At the time it was the top-grossing tour ever by a
female artist. The record has since been topped by Cher and
Madonna.
