Run the Jewels Will Open For Lorde’s North American Tour
By Brian Josephs
Run the Jewels have spent this past year extensively touring, and it looks like they’ll be doing some more of that in 2018. It’s been announced that their next job will be opening for Lorde on her upcoming North American tour, which begins on March 1 at Milwaukee. Swedish singer Tove Styrke and Mitski will also join as supporting acts on select dates.
The reveal may be a bit of surprise: Run the Jewels haymaker raps and Lorde’s luscious pop don’t fit together at first glance. But Killer Mike and El-P are veterans and they’ve made themselves comfortable in various settings, including an opening gig for Jack White’s 2015 Madison Square Garden performance. Read their dates with Lorde below.
