Support the independent voice of Houston and help keep the future of Houston Press free.
Fresh off of a trio of wins and a live performance at the Grammy's and a year filled with skyrocketing success, Houston's own Lizzo will perform at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Friday, March 13 as part of Black Heritage Day.
The talented singer (and flautist) has taken the world of pop and hip hop by storm since her 2019 release Cuz I Love You. The album featured hits like "Juice," "Good as Hell" and the number one "Truth Hurts." In addition, she has been a champion for the LGBTQ+ community and been outspoken on social justice issues.
Not only are her songs huge radio hits, but they are frequently featured in television commercials and in films and TV shows. She recently appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone and seems to be only growing in popularity with each day.
While she wasn't born in Houston, she grew up in Alief and began her career in music here.
Tickets, likely to go extremely quickly, go on sale Thursday, Feb. 6, at 10 a.m. on the Rodeo Houston website.
Keep the Houston Press Free... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Houston with no paywalls.
