Multi-platinum, 13-time Grammy Award-winner John Legend today announced the “Get Lifted 20th Anniversary World Tour,” which will be heading to The O2 on Sunday 1 June 2025.

Backed by his full band, Legend's “Get Lifted 20th Anniversary World Tour” will showcase a set list celebrating the entirety of Get Lifted, which garnered eight nominations and won three Grammy Awards at the 48th Annual Grammy Awards, including Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for "Ordinary People," Best R&B Album for Get Lifted, and Best New Artist. Each night, Legend will deliver a mix of deep cuts, fan favorites, and fresh renditions of the album's beloved tracks like the Grammy-winning "Ordinary People" (his breakout hit that reached the Billboard Top 40 and the UK R&B Singles chart), "Used to Love U," "Number One," and "So High." In addition to honoring Get Lifted, the live show will feature Legend’s other career-spanning hits, showcasing the musical depth and storytelling that have been hallmarks of his artistry for the past two decades.

Recorded in a variety of studios across the U.S. from 2001-2004, Get Lifted was originally released in the United States through GOOD Music, Sony Urban Music and Columbia Records on December 28, 2004 (Legend’s 26th birthday). The album's uncanny melodic blend of R&B, neo-soul, hip-hop, cosmopolitan sophistication, and sly street smarts signaled the arrival of a new major artist with deep musical roots, an affinity for pop music, and a plan for the future.

With all songs written or co-written by Legend, who also served as co-producer on much of the album, Get Lifted introduced him to the world as a top-tier tunesmith with a lyrical sensibility that captured the full spectrum and emotional reality of human affairs, from the raunchy to the sublime.

A prodigious musical talent, singer/songwriter/pianist Legend had already made his mark on hit records before writing and recording Get Lifted. A sought-after behind-the-scenes talent, he played piano on Lauryn Hill's Everything Is Everything and sang backup vocals for Jay-Z and Alicia Keys. As the first artist to sign with Kanye West's GOOD Music, Legend quickly made his mark, breaking into the Billboard 200 Top 10 (#4) with Get Lifted, which also reached #1 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. The album entered the Billboard 200 at #7, selling 116,000 copies in its first week—his first Top 10 debut. Legend didn’t just cross over from R&B and hip-hop to pop; he both bridged and defied genres.

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has since certified Get Lifted as Double Platinum, with “Ordinary People” also earning Double Platinum status as a single.
