Bill and Hillary Clinton are going on a stadium tour


The Clintons are headlining their own stadium tour. And before you ask, saxophones are not involved.
Following in the footsteps of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, the political power couple will take "An Evening with President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton" to 13 cities starting later this year. The duo will share "stories and inspiring anecdotes that shaped their historic careers in public service" throughout the tour, detailing "how they shaped our world today and where we go from here," promoter Live Nation announced Monday.
The Clintons will visit four North American cities this year, starting in Las Vegas, moving onto Toronto and Montreal, and rounding off December in Texas. Then, they'll hit another nine cities in 2019, including stops in New York and Inglewood, California, per The Associated Press. Tickets have been spotted as cheap as $70 at some venues and as expensive at $699 in others, CNN says.

Given the Clintons' long careers and Live Nation's vague announcement, it's not clear exactly what topics will be on the table at each tour stop, or if their discussions will change with the news cycle. Unfortunately for Democrats, the couple's sudden return to the spotlight may dredge up Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign loss as her party aims for a comeback in 2018's midterms, AP suggests. But it's worth noting the Clintons' California stop will follow a Fleetwood Mac appearance at the same venue, and we all know how well that worked for Bill Clinton 25 years ago.
