Tinashe announces ‘Joyride’ world tour...

Tinashe announces the first string of world tour dates for 'Joyride.' The 28-date North American leg kicks off February 28th.

Following the American leg, she will then head overseas to Europe, Asia, and Australia in the spring. British DJ duo Snakehips will serve as her support act, and tickets go on sale January 15th (this Friday). Announcing a tour before an album release is the new thing now it seems. This actually works for established artists who actually have a hardcore following. Tinashe on the other hand? Could this move be a tad bit premature for the budding newcomer?

Check out the first round of dates below.
