The rumor hinted at earlier this year has now been announced and confirmed: Kanye West has picked up Lady Gaga for massive a two month coast-to-coast tour. Having released the video for “Street Lights” a little over a week ago, Kanye West is still sailing on singles from last year’s release 808s & Heartbreak, but it wouldn’t be out of line to expect some new material to show up on the tour as Kanye’s record has shown a year to be far too long to be sitting on the same songs. So even if the prospect of watching Lady Gaga from 100 yards away on a giant screen doesn’t interest you, there might be some incentive in heading out to the show. The tour will swing through the Twin Cities for a date on October 13 at St. Paul’s Xcel Energy Center.
