D'Angelo's Back At It, Announcing Spring 2016 Tour Dates In Australia & Japan

D'Angelo's & The Vanguard's Legendary Forest Hills Performance As Told By Nelson George, Greg Tate & Anthony Demby [Photos & Recap]

Following a slew of cancellations a few months back, D'Angelo appears to be back in the game, folks. He may have had to sit out what would have certainly been an epic evening with Bill Withers at Carnegie Hall, but now that he appears to be in better health (and holding 3 Grammy noms for Black Messiah in his back pocket) it appears we'll be seeing his mighty funk & soul revue back on the road next year. Today, he's announced a grip of new tour dates (six, to be precise) in both Australia & Japan. It should be noted, that the show at Byron Bay Bluesfest finds D'Angelo sharing the bill with Kendrick Lamar (amongst a ton of others) which could prove to be the perfect testing ground for a collaboration if such a colossal thing could even exist. Peep the full tour itinerary down below and hold tight for what could be an unholy union of the some of the game's best. Might be time to revisit Black Messiah, y'all.

Tour Dates:

March 17 - Wellington, NZ - Arena

March 19 - Melbourne, Australia - Palais

March 21 - Sydney, Australia - Sydney Opera House

March 24 & 26 - Byron Bay, Australia - Byron Bay Bluesfest

March 28 - Yokohama, Japan - Pacific National Hall

March 29 - Osaka, Japan - International Convention Center
