Backed by his full band, Legend’s “Get Lifted 20th Anniversary World Tour” will feature a setlist celebrating the entirety of Get Lifted, which earned eight Grammy nominations and won three awards at the 48th Annual Grammy Awards, including Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for "Ordinary People," Best R&B Album, and Best New Artist. Each night, Legend will perform deep cuts, fan favorites, and fresh renditions of the album’s beloved tracks, including the Grammy-winning "Ordinary People," "Used to Love U," "Number One," and "So High." Additionally, the show will showcase highlights from Legend’s illustrious career, spanning two decades of musical storytelling and artistry.

To commemorate the tour’s announcement, Legend will appear on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon this evening as both a talk and musical guest. He will perform “Used to Love U” alongside Black Thought, backed by The Roots. Black Thought also features on the remixed version of “Used 2 Love U,” included in the digital deluxe and 3LP vinyl editions of Get Lifted (20th Anniversary), available now. The special reissue boasts contributions from artists such as Tems, Killer Mike, Lil Wayne, and Simi, and expands the original album with 11 bonus tracks, eight brand-new remixes, rare B-sides, and two previously unreleased studio performances from the original Get Lifted sessions.

Originally recorded in various studios across the U.S. from 2001-2004, Get Lifted was released on December 28, 2004, via GOOD Music, Sony Urban Music, and Columbia Records—coinciding with Legend’s 26th birthday. Blending R&B, neo-soul, and hip-hop with cosmopolitan sophistication, the album marked the arrival of a new major artist with deep musical roots and crossover appeal.

All songs were written or co-written by Legend, who also served as co-producer on much of the album. Get Lifted introduced him to the world as a top-tier songwriter with a lyrical sensibility that captured the full spectrum of human emotion, from raw passion to profound reflection.

Before his breakthrough, Legend had already left his mark on the music industry, playing piano on Lauryn Hill's "Everything Is Everything" and providing backup vocals for Jay-Z and Alicia Keys. As the first artist signed to Kanye West’s GOOD Music, he swiftly rose to prominence. Get Lifted debuted at #4 on the Billboard 200 and reached #1 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, selling 116,000 copies in its first week. The album’s success cemented Legend’s ability to bridge genres and redefine contemporary soul music.

Certified Double Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), Get Lifted remains a defining moment in John Legend’s career. The single "Ordinary People" has also achieved Double Platinum status, solidifying its place as an enduring classic. Now, with the Get Lifted 20th Anniversary World Tour, fans have the opportunity to relive the magic of this seminal album live on stage.
