2014 North American Tour
Kicks Off February 21st in Atlanta
New Markets Announced

[Publicity Shot 2 LR]January 13, 2014 - Following the release of his best selling, GRAMMY nominated new album, Blurred Lines, Robin Thicke will kick off his highly anticipated Spring 2014 North American tour on Friday, February 21st in Atlanta, Georgia at the Fox Theatre. Robin will be joined by special guests DJ Cassidy and K. Michelle on select dates. New markets have been added to the exclusive 19 stop tour which will continue through the spring (please see full routing below). K. Michelle replaces Jessie J, who will be in the U.K. recording her album and cannot make it over to the U.S. Robin is teaming up with Tickets-for-Charity to offer fans some of the best seats in the house to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). These special tickets are available exclusively at www.ticketsforcharity.com<http://www.ticketsforcharity.com>. There are also a limited number of VIP packages available for purchase on www.robinthicke.com<http://www.robinthicke.com>.
The tour announcement comes on the heels of Robin receiving the honor of top-selling single of 2013 for "Blurred Lines" with 6.5 million units sold. The bestselling track also became one of the few songs to sell more than 6 million in 2013, and is additionally among only 26 singles to have moved more than this many units in the history of the Billboard charts.
This past summer marked the debut of Robin Thicke's highly anticipated sixth studio album, Blurred Lines (Star Trak/Interscope Records). The collection debuted at #1 on Billboard Top 200 while, "Blurred Lines," the single, continued its 12-week reign on the Billboard Hot 100 chart making Robin the first artist to take the top spot on both lists since December 2012 and only the 17th act to earn the distinction in the past ten years. "Blurred Lines" scored the highest audience ever recorded and broke records by climbing to #1 on 5 radio charts simultaneously (Top 40, Rhythm, Urban, Hot AC & Urban AC) - the first time this has ever been done by an artist. New York Magazine called the album, "A great record. Period," while Rolling Stone said, "Robin Thicke sings, writes, produces, plays keyboard and even raps a little on his excellent sixth album." Most recently, Robin received three GRAMMY nominations including "Record of the Year," "Best Pop Vocal Album," and "Best Pop Duo/Group Performance." The third single off of the Blurred Lines, "Feel Good," is available now.

Born in Los Angeles, Robin taught himself to play piano at the age of 12 and by 16 was writing and producing songs for top R&B artists. By the age of 21, he had written and produced songs on over 20 gold and platinum albums including Michael Jackson, Marc Anthony, Pink, Christina Aguilera and others. One year later he signed with Jimmy Iovine and Interscope records. Today, Robin has established himself as one of the most respected singer-songwriters in soul and R&B music today. The musician, composer, and actor, released his critically acclaimed debut album, A Beautiful World, in 2003 under the name "Thicke." Soon after, he came out with his breakthrough second release, 2006's The Evolution Of Robin Thicke--now on the way to double platinum status. The award-winning multiplatinum superstar returned to center stage in 2008 with Something Else, a joyful and modern tribute to the '70s soul and pop records that was revered by critics as one of the best soul albums in years. In December of 2009 Robin released Sex Therapy. The title song was hailed by critics as "the sexiest song of the year." Robin's fifth studio album, Love After War was released in December of 2011.
