Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are going on a world tour to deliver a slew of live events across the globe.
On Tuesday, the Smith’s announced that their co-created holding company Westbrook Inc. has teamed up with Apollo World Touring to produce a multi-genre event series that will travel around the world, Billboard reports. The tour will visit a variety of national and international cities, including Montreal, Berlin, Milan, Seoul, Taipei, Osaka, and Miami. Each show will reportedly feature high-profile artists, local talent, and some of the biggest DJs in the dance music scene.
