The Wild Card Tour was the eighth concert tour by American singer Ledisi, in support of her ninth studio album The Wild Card (2020).

Background and development

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Ledisi was unable to tour to support the release of her album The Wild Card. On June 18, 2021, Ledisi announced the Wild Card Tour via her Facebook account.[1] [2] Kenyon Dixon and Stout were also announced as the tour's opening acts. In response to the restrictions being lifted, Ledisi stated, "After bringing the show to my audience virtually and in a recording, I’m so excited to be back performing the shows live and in person!".[3]

The concert run began on October 13, 2021, at Paramount Theatre in Austin, Texas. The tour concluded on November 18, 2021, at Carolina Theatre in Durham, North Carolina.[1] The set list of the shows included songs from all of Ledisi albums, with the exception of Soulsinger (2000) and Feeling Orange but Sometimes Blue (2002). Tickets were distributed through Ticketmaster. Taft Theatre in Cincinnati, Ohio, held a contest to giveaway two reserved tickets for her show on November 5, 2021.[4]

Recordings

On September 12, 2020, she gave on a free virtual concert titled This One's for You: A Night of Ledisi Live,[5] which was orchestrated due to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. The in-studio concert was recorded at the Troubadour in West Hollywood, California and released as a live album titled Ledisi Live at The Troubadour on April 30, 2021.[6]
