Winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race season five and All Stars 7, Jinkx Monsoon is launching a brand-new solo tour for the summer of 2023.
Fresh off her run as Matron “Mama” Morton in the Broadway production of Chicago, Monsoon is now getting ready to embark on an extended summer tour that will reach over 40 cities in North America. The Queen of All Queens will be touring in cities that she’s never performed in before, making this particularly exciting for her fans.
The Jinkx Monsoon: Everything at Stake tour will start June 12 in Victoria, British Columbia and run through August 14 in Portland, Oregon. Monsoon will be touring alongside her longtime musical partner Major Scales. Together, they will be performing covers as well as original music from Monsoon’s discography.
“It's all been building to this,” Monsoon said of the upcoming tour. “Everything at Stake marks my biggest concert tour ever – where I get to flex every one of my performance muscles with my musical partner in crime, Major Scales. What’s most exciting is, we’re coming to over 40 cities across North America, many of which will be for the FIRST TIME! I know, crazy, right? In these tumultuous times, it’s important to unapologetically claim our space as queer and trans people; to celebrate the revolutionary act of drag and living one’s truth. I’m getting my broom ready, I can’t wait to see you soon. Mama loves you.”
The Everything at Stake tour will feature music from Monsoon’s studio albums like 2014’s The Inevitable Album, 2018’s The Ginger Snapped, and 2022’s The Virgo Odyssey. But given that this tour will encapsulate all of Monsoon’s talents, fans can also expect comedy, acting, and some witchery in the live shows.
This is Monsoon’s biggest tour to date, building up on the momentum from winning All Stars 7, going on another successful holiday tour with BenDeLaCreme, and getting cast in Chicago on Broadway. Jinkx Monsoon is truly unstoppable, and we have to stan!
