Grammy Award-winning singer Lizzo will perform at the CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore on May 9, 2023.

Lizzo is coming to Baltimore next spring, and in the words of the Grammy Award-winning singer herself: “It’s about damn time.”

Lizzo will perform May 9, 2023 at the CFG Bank Arena as part of her “The Special 2our.” General tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday.

The singer released her fourth studio album, “Special,” in July, and the first leg of her accompanying tour kicked off in September.
