Victoria Monét has officially announced that she will be going on tour and will be the headliner for the first time in her career.
Inspired by the name of her critically acclaimed EP, Jaguar, the tour will feature Monét performing songs the album as well as its soon-to-be-released sequel.
Expected to begin on Sept. 6 in Detroit, Monét’s tour will traverse 22 cities across the nation. Some of her major stops will include Toronto, Atlanta, Las Vegas and Los Angeles, before she concludes in Chicago on Oct. 22. Tickets for The Jaguar Tour will be available to the public starting Friday, July 14, at 10 a.m. local time on her artist website.
The second installment of Jaguar, Jaguar II, is projected to drop on Aug. 25 through Lovett Music/RCA Records.
The first installment came out in 2020 and it’s been a lengthy wait for her new project. Monét is fully cognizant of this and is just as excited as her fanbase is for it to be released.
“We’ve waited 3 years, don’t let this flop,” she wrote on Instagram last month in conjunction with the announcement.

The LA-based singer-songwriter seemingly cannot lose right now. This year alone, she’s already dropped three notable singles: “Smoke” ft. Lucky Daye, “Party Girls” ft. Buju Banton, and “On My Mama.”
During a recent appearance on The Ebro Show on Apple Music 1, Monét elaborated on where she’s at right now mentally amid the process of crafting new tracks for her upcoming project.

“I was really having a hard time. I had postpartum depression, I was still breastfeeding, just adjusting to the life, but also in the midst of COVID,” explained the mother of one during the show. “So we’re in a pandemic, everything’s a little bit risky, scary to even be in the studio with a child. And ‘On My Mama’ was the first record I did that I actually liked. But it came while I was in a place of disbelief in what I was actually saying. So it’s almost like I had to speak it into existence.”
