Lizzo will be at The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas on Friday, October 25th. Doors open at 7:00pm, show starts at 9:00pm.
Joining Lizzo for her Las Vegas show is the soulful Ari Lennox. The neo-soul singer's fusion of old-school and contemporary R&B, jazz, pop and hip-hop creates a sound as unique as Lennox herself. Never shy to speak her mind, Lennox keeps things real with her audience between songs.

Minneapolis rapper and singer Lizzo arrived in the Twin Cities with a hard sound and stance, thanks to her Texas roots and time learning the ropes with crews like Atlanta's Crime Mob. Born Melissa Jefferson in Houston and raised in Detroit, Lizzo earned her moniker when she joined the uniformly named members -- Lexo, Nino, and Zeo -- of the Cornroll Clique. A 2011 move to Minneapolis found her fronting Lizzo & the Larva Ink while joining the neo-TLC-type group the Chalice. Her work began to intertwine with the city's indie scene, which included artists like Gayngs, Doomtree, Marijuana Deathsquads, and Har Mar Superstar; listening to a copy of Doomtree producer Lazerbreak's album Lava Breaks brought her out of a long case of writer's block.
In October 2016, Lizzo made her major-label debut with the EP Coconut Oil, which was released by Atlantic's Nice Life imprint. The following year she released singles "Water Me" and "Truth Hurts," with "Fitness" and "Boys" arriving the following year. In February 2019, Lizzo issued the title track from her full-length Cuz I Love You.
