MISSY ELLIOTT MAKES TRIUMPHANT RETURN TO EARTH AFTER HISTORIC DEBUT HEADLINE TOUR OUT OF THIS WORLD

Spaceship757 has officially completed its mission. For the first time in her stellar 30-year career, global superstar and Hip-Hop/R&B pioneer Missy Elliott took a voyage to 29 arenas across North America for her debut headline tour, OUT OF THIS WORLD — The Missy Elliott Experience. 

Landing onstage in a virtual spacecraft, Elliott invited sold out crowds to join her on an immersive intergalactic expedition across four different dimensions of her hit-making catalog.

The history-making tour experience included: 

• 4,000 hours spent executing Elliott’s creative vision – from choreography to content – spanning animators, multiple moving video screens equipped with real-time tracking technology, a flying stage that levitated above the audience, four orbital video pods, sonic booms (high-powered fog that resembles cryo), and state-of-the-art lighting design – with over 1,003 light fixtures in total. 
• Conceptualized by Elliott, June Ambrose designed 240 costumes for Elliott and her 25 backup dancers, with 1.2 MILLION hand-placed rhinestones and custom sublimated graffiti fabric with hand-painted details.

Produced by Live Nation in association with Mona Scott-Young, Elliott’s longtime manager and CEO of Monami Entertainment, the space-age spectacular was supported by Hip-Hop legend Busta Rhymes, Multi-Platinum selling superstar Ciara, and mega producer Timbaland. Further ushering in the next generation of talent, both Rhymes and Timbaland introduced their respective sons – with Rhymes welcoming Trillian to appear at select shows and Timbaland’s Demetrius serving as his DJ for the full run. Likewise, surprise guests popped up throughout including Lil’ Kim, Monica, Trina, and Tweet with Elliott; Ding Dong, LL COOL J, O.T. Genasis, Rah Digga, RJMrLA, Ty Dolla $ign, and 310babii with Rhymes; and BossMan Dlow, Chamillionaire, Lady London, and Lola Brooke with Ciara.
