Robin Thicke will take “Blurred Lines” on the road early next year.
The theater tour starts Feb. 21 at Atlanta”s Fox Theater, before wrapping five weeks and 15 dates later in March 29 at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco. The tour is concentrated primarily on the east coast, although it does hit a few midwest cities before ending on the west coast. Missing? Cities like Los Angeles and any city in the south.
Opening the shows will be Jessie J and DJ Cassidy.
Tickets go on sale Sept. 20 at 10 a.m. If you feel like combining your love for Thicke with your love for good causes, Thicke has partnered with Tickets for Charity to sell specific seats with proceeds going to St Jude Children”s Research Hospital and Natural Resources Defense Council. Those can be found at www.ticketsforcharity.com.
In related “Blurred Lines” news, co-writer (and performer) Pharrell told the Associated Press that he sees no similarity between the mega hit, which spent 12 weeks atop Billboard”s Hot 100, and Marvin Gaye”s “Got To Give It Up.” Thicke has filed a lawsuit asking a judge to preemptively rule that “Blurred Lines” does not infringe on the Gaye classic. “If you read music, all you have to do is read the sheet music. It”s completely different,” Pharrell said.
