John Legend’s Get Lifted Turns 20—And He’s Taking It Back on the Road

John Legend’s influence extends beyond music; it’s a lesson in longevity. As Get Lifted turns 20, the multi-platinum artist is taking his breakthrough album on the road with a world tour that spans over 40 cities, including stops in London, Amsterdam, Paris, Los Angeles, and New York. The tour, which kicks off May 27, will see Legend performing the full album alongside a curated setlist of career-spanning hits.

Originally released in 2004, Get Lifted was a genre-defying debut that blended R&B, neo-soul, and hip-hop with a sophistication that set Legend apart. The album earned three Grammy wins, including Best R&B Album and Best New Artist, with singles like “Ordinary People” and “Used to Love U” cementing his status. Two decades later, the Get Lifted 20th Anniversary edition revisits those songs with fresh perspectives, featuring contributions from Black Thought, Tems, Killer Mike, Lil Wayne, and Simi.

A new generation will now experience the album in a live setting, where Legend’s signature mix of intimacy and polish continues to define his stage presence. This tour isn’t just about nostalgia—it’s about the evolution of an artist who, 20 years on, still commands attention. With presales beginning March 19 for UK and EU dates, and March 26 for North America, the Get Lifted 20th Anniversary World Tour promises to be a defining moment for both long-time fans and newcomers alike.
