Ciara Announces She'll Tour With Timbaland

Ciara has been laying low as of late, but that doesn't mean she plans to stay out of the limelight for long. The singer, who has recently been dealing with a bit of record label drama, announced her return to the stage, as she goes on tour this summer with rapper/producer/general superstar Timbaland.Ciara's leg of the tour will begin at the end of May, with stops in South Africa and Zimbabwe to promote the ZAR (Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek, the dutch term for the South African Republic and an acronym by which it is commonly referred).

Currently there are only four tour dates that have been officially announced: Johanesburg, Durban, Nelspruit, and Harare. The chance for additional dates to be added, however, seems rather high, especially given that Lil' Kim and Fat Joe are also signed on to be a part of the mini-tour.
