The 21-date Straight Up! tour, named after Abdul’s 1988 hit, will visit smaller BC cities such as Dawson Creek, Penticton, and Prince George. Throughout Canada, Abdul will perform in larger cities like Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, and Ottawa, as well as in smaller markets such as Regina, London, and Saint John.
Notably, Abdul will not be performing in Vancouver or Toronto.
The tour begins in Victoria on September 25, and tickets will be available on Abdul’s official website starting June 7 at 10 am local time. Abdul is also touring with New Kids on the Block this summer, and it appears she will have less than a month’s break before starting her headlining tour.

While an Abdul tour might seem unusual for the 61-year-old, many legacy and so-called nostalgia acts are hitting the road more frequently this summer with a lot of success.
Recently, Ice Cube performed in Victoria, and Victoria’s largest music festival, Rifflandia, has scheduled Ja Rule, C&C Music Factory, and TLC for this September.
