On July 4, global superstar and music pioneer Missy Elliott made her historic debut headline tour, Out of This World – The Missy Elliott Experience. The sold-out show took place in Vancouver and has been named a must-see tour by various publications. Read more about the impressive tour and an upcoming open-to-the-public dance challenge Missy’s hosting in Los Angeles.

Missy started her 30 city tour in Vancouver to a sold-out crowd. The launch set an electrifying tone for the remaining dates across the countyr. Before the award-winning talent graced the stage, DJ Navarris made sure fans were hype. Following his set, there were back-to-back high-octane sets from Missy’s friends like mega producer Timbaland, multi-platinum selling superstar Ciara and legendary hip hop artist Busta Rhymes.

The show is a full on Missy production boasting an impressive ensemble of 25 dancers including ballerinas and a tap dancer. Each performance is interwoven and elevated by intergalactic set themes, state-of-the-art visuals, and cutting-edge illuminations. Elliott shared an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the making of the tour to her personal Instagram account on July 5 after the first show.

Missy shared her extensive iconic catalog that spans three decades. She starts the set with “Throw It Back,” and supercharged the packed house with fan favorites like “Sock It 2 Me,” “Get Ur Freak On,” and “Hot Boyz,” before wrapping on a high note with “Ching-A-Ling,” “Bring the Pain,” and “Work It.”

Dressed in custom designs from longtime friend, celebrity super-stylist, and 2024 NAACP Image Awards Fashion Vanguard Award recipient June Ambrose, Elliott has countless costume changes throughout the show, from a blinged-out astronaut suit to an exclusive all-black latex style ensemble and unique outfits inspired by graffiti art.

Out of This World — The Missy Elliott Experience is produced by Live Nation in association with Mona Scott-Young, Elliott’s longtime manager and CEO of Monami Entertainment, and represented by Seth Shomes through Day After Day Productions (DADP).

Hosted in partnership with The Music Center and Gloria Molina Grand Park, Elliott is further celebrating her upcoming back-to-back headline dates at Crypto.com Arena (July 11 and July 12) with MISSY ELLIOTT PRESENTS PARTY ON THE PLAZA: AN OUT OF THIS WORLD EXPERIENCE. Held on Jerry Moss Plaza at The Music Center, the FREE event on July 10 is open to the public and starts at 7 p.m. PST. Encouraging everyone to participate in the OUT OF THIS WORLD Dance Challenge (see here) and tag her on their video posts (learn the dance), Elliott will join fans in person for a cosmic dance party featuring live DJs and her tour dancers who will lead the Dance Challenge, plus a special spectacular surprise that will have all eyes on the sky! Fans can RSVP here.
