“Whitney Houston was a talent beyond words, and her influence and artistry transcended all boundaries. What we are creating here is a new type of theatrical concert experience designed to capture that magic. When she performed there was an unmatched level of charisma and emotion to it — that’s what we are going to bring to audiences,” BASE Hologram Chairman and CEO Brian Becker said in a statement.
The tour will launch on January 23, 2020 in Mexico and wrap up on April 3 in Minsk, Belarus, with stops in the UK, the Netherlands and Russia.
Although dates were announced in several European countries, BASE Hologram has yet to confirm whether the tour will hit North America reportedly in the fall of 2020.
Tickets for the UK shows will go on sale on September 20 at 9am (GST) at aneveningwithwhitney.com, where a full list of tour dates can also be found.
