SAN DIEGO — Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees Bonnie Raitt and Mavis Staples are teaming up for a 2022 summer tour that will open July 19 in Cincinnati and conclude Sept. 27 in San Diego at the Rady Shell at Jacobs Park.
Billed as the "Just Like That ...," the tour takes its name from Raitt's upcoming album, which is due out this spring. The tour will include performances in 28 cities across the nation and follows a spring tour by Raitt, without Staples, that begins March 28 in Modesto.
"To celebrate finally being able to play live concerts again by reuniting with my dear friend and inspiration, the great Mavis Staples, is a thrill words can't really express," Raitt said in a statement released Tuesday morning.
"Mavis and her band are at the top of their game and I know they feel the same about us. Hope you can experience the magic when we come through on tour this summer!"
Raitt is due for two major honors this year. On March 2 she will receive Billboard magazine's Icon Award in a public ceremony at the YouTube Theater in Los Angeles. She is also set to belatedly receive the Recording Academy's 2021 Lifetime Achievement Grammy at an event that was pushed back from last year. The 2022 makeup date has not yet been announced.
Tickets for the general public for Raitt and Staples' summer tour, including their Sept. 27 San Diego concert, go on sale at 10 a.m. local time Friday at ticketmaster.com. A presale for Raitt fan club members begins at 10 a.m. local time Wednesday.
Prices for Raitt's San Diego concert range from $40 to $160, plus service fees. Her performance is being presented as part of the San Diego's Symphony's summer season at its year-old $85 million outdoor venue, the Rady Shell at Jacobs Park.
As she has done in the past, Raitt will — in conjunction with The Guacamole Fund and her Green Highway campaign — donate one dollar from every ticket purchased for her tour to local, regional and national grassroots organizations that focus on safe and sustainable energy, environmental protection, social justice, human rights, and blues and music education.
Raitt's fall tour will begin Sept. 30 in Phoenix and conclude Nov. 9 in Clearwater, Florida. No ticket sale dates have been released yet for that leg of the tour.
