Lizzo's performance at Atlantis comes as she is on the second leg of her tour - dubbed The Special 2our.
Prior to her one-night-only show at Atlantis, Lizzo, the American singer, rapper and classically trained flutist, whose music talks about race, sexuality and body confidence, will be on stage at The O2 in London, United Kingdom, for back-to-back shows before she performs again in April at the Thompson-Boling Assemble Center and Arena, in Knoxville, Tennessee.
Lizzo coming to the Atlantis follows in the wake of other hot artists that have recently graced the Atlantis LIVE stage in Ashanti and Robin Thicke, Little Big Town, The Chainsmokers, Sheryl Crow.
A portion of the proceeds from the Music Making Waves concert series will support the Atlantis Blue Project Foundation, a nonprofit, 501(c)3 organization, with the mission of saving marine life and their extraordinary habitats throughout The Bahamas and surrounding Caribbean seas.
Lizzo launched her solo career in 2013 after performing in The Chalice. She got her start by opening for bands like Har Mar Superstar, Sleater-Kneey and Haim. In 2018, she started making her mark by performing at several festivals like Lollapalooza and Outside Lands. In 2019, her third studio album "Cuz I Love You" made it into the Billboard Top Ten and landed her in the mainstream and she launched two concert tours in support. "Truth Hurts", the underperforming single, was featured in a movie and finally became a hit. In 2020, she performed at the Grammys and, to this day, Lizzo has played over 200 concerts in 16 countries.
