Catch 'The Evolution' in Progress with 'Ciara: Live In Concert'

In the weeks leading up to the release of her highly anticipated sophomore album, Ciara: The Evolution (La Face/Zomba Label Group), multi-platinum R&B/Pop sensation Ciara will take the show on the road with a kinetic 16-city club tour accompanied by four major radio concert stops. Each hour-long high-energy club date will feature fan favorites, #1 singles "Goodies," "1, 2 Step," and "Oh," as well as current hit "Get Up," new single "Promise," and other never-before-heard cuts from her new album, Ciara: The Evolution, due out December 5th.

"Previewing the new record in a small setting gives my fans an exclusive experience where they can truly hear and see exactly where I'm going with Ciara: The Evolution," Ciara explains. "It's about so much more than just my personal growth - it's about the evolution of music, the evolution of dance, the evolution of fashion. I want to bring a taste of all that to the fans in a one-on-one environment to get them excited for Ciara: The Evolution."

Fans are already excited by the soon-to-be major hit, first single "Promise." "Promise," written by Ciara and produced by Polow (Fergie's "London Bridge," Pussy Cat Dolls' "Buttons"), will impact radio October 16th. The video, directed by Diane Martel, will debut on BET's Access Granted on October 25th, which is also the star's 21st birthday! Alongside "Promise," current hit "Get Up" will be included on Ciara: The Evolution.

Below is the schedule of tour dates for the "Ciara: Live In Concert" club tour; dates subject to change.
