N.E.R.D. Joins Kanye West's Glow In The Dark Tour

Kanye West has historically toured extensively in the summer. Whether it was as an opening act for U2 in 2006, or his appearances at festivals, one of the biggest entertainers in Hip Hop was predicted to do bigger things for the summer tour season. Even lately, as West has appeared in smaller spot dates alongside A-Trak and Kid Sister, many eyes are on summer's epic production shows.

On Kanye's blog [click here], the super-producer and emcee indicated that longtime supporters N.E.R.D. will be joining him on this summer's Glow In The Dark Tour. The trio of Pharrell Williams, Chad Hugo and Shay Haley is said to be finishing up their third album, N.3.R.D. The group has taken a four-year hiatus from their previous two gold efforts.

The tour, as of last May, was also said to feature choreography from Jamie King of Madonna fame. West, an admitted frequent concert goer of the legendary Pop star, said that he was so moved by Madonna's stage show that he wanted the direction for himself.

It is likely that G.O.O.D. Music acts Common, Consequence, Malik Yusef and others would also be part of the tour, though no formal details have been released.
