For the first time in four years, Destiny's Child are hitting the road for a full-fledged North American tour.
The mega-platinum group's Destiny Fulfilled ... And Lovin' It Tour — brought to you by McDonald's — kicks off July 9 in
St. Louis and makes stops in 32 additional cities before coming to an end on September 10 in Vancouver, British Columbia. According to the band's publicist, more dates could be forthcoming.
Opening acts on the tour will vary from city to city, and will include Destiny's labelmate Amerie, smooth R&B crooner Mario and masked fast-food enthusiast the Hamburgler. (Not really.)
House of Dereon, the clothing label founded by Beyoncé and her mother, Tina, will be designing the costumes for the tour.
Destiny's Child are currently in the midst of a world tour (see "Destiny's Child's Tour Bus Likely To Smell Like Fries"), belting out tunes and visiting McDonald's in places like Dubai, United Arab Emirates; Geneva; and Rotterdam, Netherlands. That leg comes to an end on June 11 in Barcelona, Spain, and the group will use the time off to recuperate and rehearse.
