Lil Nas X comes on big tour - Two concerts planned in Germany
Rapper Lil Nas X, who has often commented on his homosexuality, will begin his major world tour in September 2022. From November, there will also be some concerts in Europe. In Germany, two concerts are planned in Berlin and Hamburg.
The "Long Live Montero" tour: the fans are happy
The world tour will run under the name "Long Live Montero". This is the first tour of this magnitude for the rapper. In addition to Germany, performances are also planned in Switzerland, Austria, Amsterdam and Paris.
On his Twitter account, he invites everyone to attend his concert, otherwise he says he will be forced to start a livestream on Instagram in which he cries. The artist is known for his humor and sarcasm. Accordingly, his fans certainly know how to classify this statement.
Rap meets country music - A concept that works
Lil Nas X is one of the young people who combine modern rap music with classic American country music. He became famous especially for the track "Old Town Road", which he recorded with country star Billy Ray Cyrus. The combination of country and rap has excited many people,. That's why the track made the charts in many countries. In addition, the LGBTQI+ community has found a successful representative in Lil Nas X.
The video for the song "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)" also caused quite a stir. Here the artist is damned and sent directly to hell.
In this context, he puts on a show at the pole dance and then offers the devil a hot lap dance. All to kill him afterwards and become the ruler of the underworld himself.
The song gained a lot of attention through the platform Tik Tok, among others. The scandalous video provided a lot of inspiration for funny clips. Often, the corresponding Tik Toks were about lost souls in hell comfortably going about their daily lives and Lil Nas X rushing past them on the pole.
Lil Nas X: A hot candidate for the 2023 Grammys?
The Grammy Awards are the Oscars® of the music industry and on their stage the 22-year-old rapper was allowed to perform some of his songs. His hit "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)" was of course one of them, but also "Industry Baby" and "Dead Right Now" were presented.
In 2022, he was nominated for a total of five of the coveted awards. However, this year he (still?) had to go home empty-handed. Perhaps that will change in the coming years. Experience shows that there should be no lack of self-confidence.
What will the tour be like? Fans can certainly look forward to many surprises
Anyone who wants to see the musician who polarizes so much live on stage now can buy a concert ticket on the Internet and at ticket counters. Advance sales for the German concerts have already begun.
But what can fans expect? Anyone who knows Lil Nas X knows that it can make sense to expect anything here. Presumably, many fans from the LGBTQI+ community are likely to be in the audience again. Because one thing is clear: If you are looking for a role model who is openly queer and co. and at the same time still likeable-cheeky and provocative, Lil Nas X is definitely the right address.
