Streisand announces Summer Concert tour, new album release

Barbra Streisand announced this morning that she will kick off a 'mini summer tour' this August, covering major US cities and Toronto. This will coincide with the release of her newest album she's been recording this past winter, titled: "ENCORE: Movie Partners Sing Broadway".

Streisand's last album, 'Partners' debuted at #1, making her the only artist to have a #1 album in six consecutive decades (60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s). Her last concert tour was in 2012, titled 'Back to Brooklyn'. The current concert will have a songlist of her hits from the past six decades, as well as new songs recorded for the new album.

The tour dates announced so far:

August 2 / Los Angeles
August 4 / San Jose
August 6 / Las Vegas
August 9 / Chicago
August 11, 13 / Brooklyn
August 16 / Boston
August 18 / Washington D.C.
August 20 / Philadelphia
August 23 / Toronto

Tickets go on sale to the public May 25, but AMEX card holders can pre-purchase a week earlier. Ticket buyers will also get a free copy of her newest CD with their purchase. No official release date for the album has been released, but it's expected to hit stores during her three week concert tour.
