Drag Race winner Jinkx Monsoon announces “biggest tour” to date
Jinkx Monsoon says her entire career has been “building” towards her upcoming concert tour, titled ‘Everything’s At Stake’. Announced this week via Entertainment Weekly, the highly-anticipated tour will perform in 44 cities across the U.S.
and Canada from 12 June to 14 August. Jinkx, her “musical main squeeze” Major Scales and a “full rock band” will perform music from the star’s lauded first two albums, The Ginger Snapped and The Inevitable Album, as well as new tracks from her upcoming three-part album The Virgo Odyssey. “It’s all been building to this! ‘Everything at Stake’ marks my biggest concert tour ever— where I get to flex every one of my performance muscles with my musical partner in crime, Major Scales,” Jinkx said in a statement. “What’s most exciting is, we’re coming to over 40 cities across North America, many of which will be for the FIRST TIME!
I know, crazy, right?” In her interview with EW, Jinkx revealed that the tour’s theme originated from the “fan reaction” to her All Stars 7 runway, which took inspiration from “witch hunts that existed in the olden days”.
She highlighted the parallels with the witch trials and what’s “happening right now with the queer, trans, and LGBTQIA+ community — the witch hunt we’re experiencing as we take on the patriarchy.” “It’s Everything at Stake because this is the most attention I’ve had on me in some time, and I want to show the world why I deserve that attention.
