"This is an incredible time in my life as I am experiencing so many milestone ‘firsts.’ Being the FIRST female Hip Hop artist to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and now going out on my FIRST headline tour," Elliott, 52, said in a statement.
"Fans have been asking me to tour forever but I wanted to wait until I felt the time was right because I knew if I was ever going to do it, I had to do it big, and I had to do it with family," the "Work It" performer added.
Elliott and the three featured artists on the tour have a long history of collaboration.
She and Ciara worked together on songs like "1, 2 Step" in 2004 and "Lose Control" in 2005. Elliott and Busta Rhymes are long-time collaborators. Elliott and Timbaland have also collaborated extensively throughout their careers, including "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)" in 1997 and her 2001 song "Get Ur Freak On."
Presale tickets will become available starting on April 9, with additional presales happening throughout the week ahead of general onsale tickets on April 12 at 10 a.m. local time.
