Following a series of successful and historic South American dates, Lenny Kravitz' US leg of his world tour, ELECTRIC CHURCH: ONE NIGHT ONLY!, will kick off this evening in Dallas, TX, on April 5th. The 27-city tour will feature Kravitz performing a series of EXCLUSIVE theater dates across the US and Canada. These one-time-only shows promise to be must-see experiences for fans in the US, who have never been able to catch him perform live in such a raw and intimate setting.

Kravitz's US concert dates follow his historic South American tour that hit multiple cities throughout Latin and South America. It was the largest tour by an international artist ever and culminated with a rocking performance in front of over 500,000 fans at the 440th anniversary party of Rio di Janeiro at Copacabana Beach -- the largest international free concert ever produced.

Lenny Kravitz will be performing both new and classic material from his expansive career at his limited 27 North American engagements. Kravitz is looking forward to hitting the road again in the States and says of the tour, "I haven't been able to play for my fans in the US since 2002, so I'm really looking forward to these shows. When I was planning my American tour, I decided that I wanted to get back to my roots, strip down the production and do something different. I haven't played theaters in years, and don't know when I'll be able to do it again, so this tour is going to be a great way to get out there and really connect with my fans."

Following the US dates, Lenny Kravitz will head to Europe for the next leg of his world tour. Dates include rarely toured markets such as Poland, Estonia, Russia and Finland in addition to France, Spain, England and Italy. The announcement of Kravitz's European tour has left fans clamoring for tickets across the continent.

Lenny Kravitz's would tour is happening in conjunction with the release of his 7th studio album "Baptism." The album features the chart-topping singles "Where Are We Runnin," and "Lady."
