Yahoo! made a huge announcement at South by Southwest Interactive (SXSW) this week.
The web company is launching a six-week international tour featuring some of the hottest musicians in hip hop, RnB and pop music. In addition 10 comedians and “1 yodeler” will also be performing on the tour. The “Yahoo! On the Road Tour” starts this spring and will feature Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis and “special guests” Justin Timberlake, Frank Ocean and Trey Songz.
A definitive line-up and schedule has not been released yet, however the 21-day international tour will make stops at 14 cities within the United States kicking off in New York City on May 3 and ending in San Francisco in May 31. It will also make seven stops in Europe including Berlin and London throughout the summer. The London show will coincide with the annual Yahoo! Wireless Festival which both Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake will be headlining.
“We’re passionate about adding a little more Yahoo! to your day. So this summer we’re hitting the road to bring music, laughs, and lots of yodeling to people around the world,” states Yahoo! on music.yahoo.com. “New York to San Franciso. Berlin to London. May 3 – July 14. Join us.”
