JoJo Siwa brings 'Karma' to the stage at Newport in July
Do you want to be a dream guest for JoJo Siwa?
The 21-year-old "Dance Moms" alum has announced her North American tour, which will give fans the chance to experience the roadie life, lugging and setting up equipment, observing soundcheck, sitting in the DJ booth and more.
The catch? You'll shell out more than $800, since the experience is part of the Dream Guest VIP package for the 18-city tour that will bring Siwa to Newport Music Hall on July 19.
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday at bit.ly/4l5roKD. General-admission tickets cost $50.50 in advance and $55.50 the day of the show. The Dream Guest VIP package costs $850.50; the Ultimate VIP package is $383.83; and the VIP meet and greet is $217.17.
A wealth of other perks come with the Dream Guest VIP package, including the chance to offer input on the setlist, a Q&A session with Siwa and exclusive autographed memorabilia to be worn during the show.
The unfettered, unfiltered (and perhaps slightly unhinged) Siwa boasts almost 70 million followers on social media. At 16, she was the youngest artist to headline and sell out the U.K.’s famous O2 arena.
Siwa was the first contestant to perform with a same-sex partner on "Dancing with the Stars," appeared on seasons 17 and 18 of "So You Think You Can Dance" and was saluted as one of TIME magazine's “100 Most Influential People” in 2020.
Last year, the singer-dancer released a single, "Karma," that trended at No. 1 on YouTube and led to a five-song EP, "Guilty Pleasure." Her latest single release is "Choose UR Fighter."
