Travie McCoy has announced his first-ever solo North American headline tour in support of his solo debut "Lazarus.""Sgt. Schlepper's Who Needs Hearts Club Band Tour" will hit the road beginning March 17th at the Opera House in Toronto, Ontario, and then travel through early April.
Joining McCoy on all dates will be a star-studded multi-artist line-up including Donnis, XV, Bad Rabbits, and on their first full-scale tour schedule, Black Cards, featuring Decaydance co-founder Pete Wentz.
Travie who is currently poised to enter the studio to begin recording Gym Class Heroes' hypely anticipated fifth album due for release later this year earned widespread acclaim and massive popular success with last year's groundbreaking solo debut, "Lazarus."
The album's latest single, "We'll Be Alright," is looking like yet another major CHR/Pop smash for the multi-talented McCoy, who recently rang in 2011 by performing the track on Fox's nationally televised New Year's Eve Live. "We'll Be Alright" co-produced by two of the world's hottest production teams in The Smeezingtons and Stereotypes has also drawn critical acclaim, with USA Today hailing it as "summery
almost Beach Boy-ish," and Spin declaring it an "ultra-catchy pop-rap jam
which hits the same mass-market pleasure center as B.o.B's mash-note smash, 'Nothin' On You.'"
