2nd John Legend show added for Oahu

Advertiser Staff

A second John Legend show on Oahu has been added, BAMP Project announced today. The popularity of the Evolver World Tour has gained so much momentum that it has been extended in Hawaii and into other cities throughout the fall on the Mainland.

A portion of the Hawaii ticket sales from all three shows will go to John Legend's "Show Me Campaign," a nonprofit charity organization that funds underdeveloped African villages. The money will help to provide healthier living conditions for these villages, such as mosquito nets to curb the millions of avoidable deaths from malaria, free meals to children attending school and clean water sources.
