Celebrated musician, Ja Rule, is currently embarking on a world tour in celebration of 25 years of success in the music industry. 

Dubbed The Sunrise Tour, the slate of shows is set to begin in the spring of 2024 and includes dates in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Scotland. 

Aside from Ja Rule, supporting acts on the tour include R&B stars such as Keri Hilson, Lloyd, and MYA.

Per the information available, general tickets for the tour are currently available at ticketmaster.com, and more global dates will be announced at a later date. 

The Sunrise Tour is designed to be a prelude to the 25th anniversary celebration of Ja Rule’s debut album, Venni Vetti Vecci, which was released on June 1, 1999, under the Murder Inc. Records and Def Jam. 

In its first week of release, the album debuted at No.3 on the Billboard 200, with 184,000 physical copies sold in its first week. 

Led by the hit single “Holla Holla,” which peaked at No. 35 on the Billboard Hot 100, the album was a critical and commercial success, selling over two million copies worldwide.

Ja Rule was at the height of his popularity in the following years, releasing a string of multi-platinum, chart-topping albums, such as Rule 3:36 and Pain Is Love.

Since then, he has released several successful projects such as The Last Temptation, Blood In My Eye, and R.U.L.E. His last studio album, Pain Is Love 2, was released in 2012 via Mpire Music Group.
