RuPaul’s Drag Race will bring the third edition of its Battle of the Seasons tour to New Orleans’ Joy Theater on Saturday, June 25.
Based on the popular TV series RuPaul’s Drag Race, the Battle of the Seasons is the largest touring drag revue in the world. This year’s 2016 Extravaganza Tour will make stops in 57 different cities across Europe and North America between March and June.
The tour will once again be hosted by RuPaul’s Drag Race judge Michelle Visage and will feature a cast of winners, runners up and fan favorites from past seasons of the program. Performers at the New Orleans show will include BenDeLaCreme, Ginger Minj, Ivy Winters, Jinkx Monsoon, Katya, Manila Luzon, Sharon Needles and Violet Chachki, among others.
“Last year the world got merely a taste of RuPaul’s queens with the first global Battle of the Seasons Tour,” said Visage. “This year we are back, and these bitches are bigger and badder than before! Get ready for the ultimate RuPaul’s Drag Race experience from the minute you walk through the doors.”
Tickets for the New Orleans stop will go on sale this Friday, January 29 at noon.
