John Legend fills out summer tour

John Legend has tacked on more arena shows to his summertime run behind his latest release, last fall's "Evolver."

The 17-city trek now begins June 27 in Muskegon, MI, before heading to New Orleans for a July 3 headlining gig at the Essence Music Festival. From there, the Grammy winner will work his way from east to west, stopping by amphitheaters nationwide through the final stop Sept. 1 in Los Angeles. Details are included below.

"Evolver," the singer/songwriter/pianist's third studio album, debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart last October. The record's first single, "Green Light," features special guest Andre 3000 on the album, though Legend performed the track at this year's Super Bowl XLIII alongside T-Pain.

Other guest vocalists that contributed to the singer's latest release include fellow chart-toppers Brandy, Estelle and Kanye West, who also helped on the production side as well.

Legend, who recently wrapped up tours in Europe and Asia, made a surprise appearance last Saturday at Indio, CA's Coachella Festival. MSTRKRFT performed their remix of the singer's single, "Green Light," with Legend stepping out before the crowd to contribute vocals.
