Six-time Grammy Award winner and Multi-platinum recording artist John Legend will perform at the Fabulous Fox Theatre on June 30 at 8 p.m. with special guests India Arie and Vaughn Anthony. Tickets are on sale now and prices are $50, $45, $40 with a limited number  of Gold Circle seats also available. All prices are subject to change. Presented by Fox Concerts.

Having just completed his most successful international tour to date, John Legend will bring his show to St. Louis in support of his chart-topping album EVOLVER. Known for connecting with fans during his dynamic live shows, Legend's concert will feature many of his biggest singles - from EVOLVER's "Green Light" and "Everybody Knows" to the classic songs from his previous albums - all backed by an extraordinary 11 piece band.

The summer tour comes after EVOLVER debuted in the #4 slot on the Billboard Top 200 Album chart
late last year. A crossover sensation, EVOLVER has already reached the #1 position on America's R&B Album chart, #1 on the Album Retailer chart and #1 on the Digital Albums chart. The first single "Green Light" was a Top 10 hit on the Rhythmic Top 40 radio chart, while also reaching the Top 5 at Urban Mainstream Radio.

One of the top releases of 2008, EVOLVER is John Legend's first full-length studio album in two years. Guests on EVOLVER include Estelle, OutKast's Andre 3000, R&B/pop superstar Brandy and John's longtime collaborator Kanye West.

Songs on EVOLVER include the hit singles "Green Light" (featuring Andre 3000) and "Everybody
Knows," as well as "It's Over" (featuring Kanye West), "No Other Love" (featuring Estelle),
"Satisfaction," "This Time," "Cross The Line," "I Love, You Love," "Good Morning," "If You're Out
There," and "Quickly" (featuring Brandy).

Special guest, Grammy winning singer/songwriter India Arie will perform in support of her latest
album Testimony: Vol. 2, Love & Politics which debuted at #3 on the Billboard charts. Opening for
both India Arie and John Legend is R & B singer Vaughn Anthony.

John Legend will team up with non-profit, REVERB, to help "green" this tour. Their environmental
efforts will include coordination with venues and local caterers to ensure and facilitate the use of green
products and practice, along with neutralizing CO2 emissions from venue energy use, hotels, flights,
and touring vehicles. The tour's "carbon footprint" was calculated by REVERB and neutralized by
financially supporting the construction of new renewable energy projects such as wind farms. As well,
eco-friendly merchandise options will be available for fans and the John Legend On-line Ridesharing
Service will encourage and assist carpooling to shows. A John Legend Greening Website will include
tips and calls to action for fans with prize incentives.

Tickets for John Legend with special guests India Arie and Vaughn Anthony are on sale now at the
Fox Theatre box office and all MetroTix locations. To charge by phone call MetroTix at 314/534-
1111 or online at www.metrotix.com. For more information please visit www.johnlegend.com.
