While the BAILE FUNK EXPERIENCE marks Anitta’s first string of North American dates, the GRAMMY-nominated star is no stranger to performing for her North American fans and the world. At the end of 2023, Anitta was a headliner at TikTok In The Mix, the first-of-its-kind live global experience on TikTok, where she performed to a sold out crowd of 17,000 fans at Sloan Park in Mesa, AZ and shattered viewing records with over 33.5 million viewers in total watching the broadcast. In 2022, Anitta once again made headlines and broke records as the first female Brazilian solo act to perform at Coachella. Following her performance, Variety proclaimed, she “wowed” the crowd with a set that featured a “mind-boggling mixture of genres, emphasizing the Brazilian and Latin music that rose her to stardom.”
The tour will follow the release of Anitta’s new album, Funk Generation, out April 26th via Republic Records/Universal Music Latin Entertainment. Pre-order/Pre-save Funk Generation HERE. Anitta recently gave fans a preview of what they can expect from the upcoming album, with the fiery lead single “Double Team” (ft. Brray & Bad Gyal) alongside an official music video – listen HERE and watch the video HERE. The single was produced by Botlok and the music video was directed by Sam Hayes.
Funk Generation follows Anitta’s three track bundle, Funk Generation: A Favela Love Story, which was released in 2023 as a precursor to the new album. The three tracks were “Funk Rave,” “Used To be” and “Casi Casi,”which became fan favorites. After the successful release, Anitta began to close out the year with “BELLAKEO”, a joint track with Peso Pluma – watch the official video HERE. “BELLAKEO” went on to become Anitta’s highest-charting entry on the Billboard Hot 100 to date. Anitta released “Joga pra Lua,” in collaboration with producers Pedro Sampaio and DENNIS. as her final single of 2023 to end the year with a bang.
