The openers on the Vacancy tour are PHABO and Lekan, two talented rising R&B artists. PHABO drew in the crowd for covers of some R&B favorites after playing his own music. Lekan showed off his silky smooth and soulful vocals.

Vacancy Tour Set List

Rather than playing songs in full, Lennox opts for shortened snippets of a large portion of her discography on this tour. She focuses on favorites from her new album, but late in the concert she pays homage to her debut EP, PHO, and her breakthrough album, Shea Butter Baby.

At the Denver show, Lennox also included some spontaneous Michael Jackson and even pulled off a moon walk after spotting a man in the crowd with a silver sparkling MJ-style glove. She pulled the man onto the stage and he danced to ”Billy Jean.” These improvised moments were when Lennox's star power shone through most, as she effortlessly riffed on the fly.

What Time to Arrive at the Vacancy Tour

The show starts at 8:00 PM at most stops, with doors opening at 6:30 or 7:00 PM. If you want to catch openers PHABO and Lekan, arrive at least 15 minutes before showtime to allow for parking and security. PHABO performs for about 25 minutes, followed by Lekan after a short break. Ari Lennox took the stage around 9:20 PM at the Denver show and performed until a little after 11:00 PM.
