Jill Scott concert chronology

Summer Block Party is a music concert tour by American R&B/soul artist, Jill Scott. Primarily visiting the United States, the tour supported her fourth studio album, The Light of the Sun. The tour was hosted by Doug E. Fresh and featured sets by DJ Jazzy Jeff, giving the tour the "block party" vibe.[1] With 18 shows in 2011, the tour was extended with additional dates for a one-month run in June of 2012.[2]

Background

The tour was announced on Scott's official website on June 2, 2011.[3] Sponsored by famed concert series "Budweiser Superfest", the outing played amphitheaters in the U.S. during the summer season. On June 17, 2011, fans were given the opportunity to purchase concert tickets and pre-order Scott's album through Live Nation.[4] The success of the 2011 show prompted Scott to add shows during the summer of 2012. Joining the singer on tour are Kem, Salt-n-Pepa and Eric Roberson. Additionally, Scott launched a contest for an opening act for her show in Atlanta.[5]
