GENA Announce Tour of North America and United Kingdom

GENA, the new duo consisting of Liv.e and Karriem Riggins, have announced their first tour. The pair are gearing up for 16 dates across North America and the United Kingdom to celebrate the release of their debut album, The Pleasure Is Yours.

The tour launches on April 3rd, making stops across key US cities before wrapping up on the other side of the pond. Liv.e and Riggins will bring the experience to three festivals: Culture & Arts Festival in Gainesville, Florida, We Out Here Festival in Dorset, England, and London’s Rally Festival. One date will feature a solo live performance from Liv.e.

GENA, short for “God Energy, Naturally Amazing,” is a collaboration between the singer-songwriter Liv.e and drummer Karriem Riggins. Traversing alternative R&B, funk, and hip-hop, their new album is a follow-up to Riggins’ soundtrack for the Netflix series, Mo. Liv.e released her last album, Past Futur.e, in 2024.
