Lizzo, Paramore to perform at Coachella Valley Acrisure Arena. Here's where to get tickets

Attention, Lizzo fans: the singer and rapper who is no stranger to the desert is set to perform on June 2 at Acrisure Arena.

Lizzo is currently on tour promoting her album "Special," which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart. Atlanta rapper Latto is also scheduled to appear.

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 18 at ticketmaster.com.

The singer's third album "Cuz I Love You" was well-received by critics and fans after the commercial success of the singles "Juice" and "Tempo." The album debuted in April 2019 at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 and remained in the Top 10 for 15 weeks.

Lizzo performed in 2019 at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Her Weekend 1 performance was plagued by technical issues. During Weekend 2, Lizzo made it almost through the entire set when there was some sort of glitch halfway through related to the ear piece she was using.

She stopped the song, said something to the effect of "Oh, hell no! I'm not letting this happen again." And she continued the song using just her voice, her DJ's voice and the overflowing Mojave tent crowd to fill in the rest. It turned into a fun singalong.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Lizzo joined Elton John during his iHeart Living Room Concert for America, a musical event to raise funds for first responders during the coronavirus pandemic, and she talked about the importance of social distancing from Palm Springs. Lizzo did not say where or why she was in Palm Springs.

Lizzo appeared as a surprise guest during the second weekend of the 2022 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival during Harry Styles' headlining set. She and Styles sang Gloria Gaynor’s classic 1978 disco anthem "I Will Survive" and the One Direction megahit “What Makes You Beautiful” while donning matching furry coats.

In September, Lizzo received an Emmy Award for her Amazon series “Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls," which chronicled Lizzo's search for backup dancers to join her world tour.

Lizzo also used the moment to highlight the importance of on-screen representation.

"When I was a little girl, all I wanted to see was me in the media … someone fat like me, Black like me, beautiful like me," she said. "If I could go back and tell little Lizzo something, I'd be like 'You're going to see that person but (expletive), it's going to have to be you.' "

Later that month, Lizzo — who’s also a classically trained flautist —  played a crystal flute gifted to President James Madison in 1813 during a concert in Washington, D.C. The opportunity came via the Library of Congress, which houses the precious flute and agreed to let Lizzo play it at her show.

The rock band Paramore is also performing on July 15 at Acrisure Arena with special guest Foals. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 18 at ticketmaster.com. The band has sold over 7 million albums since its inception in 2004.

Acrisure Arena will be the home of American Hockey League team the Coachella Valley Firebirds. Ground broke on the Thousand Palms facility in June 2021 with a price tag of $250 to $300 million. In August, the concrete was poured to form the main ice rink, and a ceremonial first seat was installed.

The 10,000-seat arena can be opened to 11,000 seats for concerts.
