Another day, another concert announcement. National promoters have been busy in the last few weeks, and this morning is no exception.

On Wednesday, Live Nation announced that it will bring Christina Aguilera's 2018 tour to St. Petersburg's Mahaffey Theater. The November 13 show is part of a 24-date, 22-venue run that is the 37-year-old pop singer's first tour in 10 years. The jaunt comes on the heels of Liberation, Aguilera's first album since 2012's Lotus.

Liberation is set to be released on June 15 and the album's lead single "Accelerate" also features production from Kanye West plus cameos from Ty Dolla $ign and 2 Chainz. 

"Kanye and Christina met to work on the song at Rick Rubin’s California studio shortly before the release of The Life of Pablo," wrote P4K. "The other track Ye produced for the LP is 'Maria,' which interpolates the Sound of Music song of the same name and samples Michael Jackson."

Ticket prices have yet to be announced, but you can snag a seat starting Friday, May 18 at 10 a.m. Watch "Accelerate" and get more info below.
