RuPaul’s Drag Race contestants hit the road for global tour

By Troy Nankervis

Contestants from RuPaul’s Drag Race are going on the road for the largest ‘Battle of the Seasons’ tour to date.

Now in its third consecutive year, series judge Michelle Visage joins past winners and runners up from each season of the talent contest for the tour, which will include Courtney Act, Jinkx Monsoon, Katya, Pandora Boxx, Sharon Needles, Violet Chachki and Willam.

“Last year, the world got merely a taste of RuPaul’s queens with the first global ‘Battle of the Seasons Tour’,” says Visage.

“This year we are back, and these bitches are bigger and badder than before! Get ready for the ultimate RuPaul’s Drag Race experience from the minute you walk through the doors. It is a once-in-a-lifetime extravaganza that you will not want to miss!”

The ‘Extravaganza’ tour will begin with a 14-city Europe cycle launching from Antwerp, Belgium on March 17, 2016 to Madrid, Spain on April 10, 2016, before starting a 43-city tour across North America.
