Worldwide cognac brand Hennessy has announced a four-city tour for its fourth annual Hennessy Artistry series. The event will be curated and headlined by rapper/actor Common, along with hip-hop band The Roots, who will also serve as the house band.

Each night, the event will feature performances from a variety of artists, including emerging talent, as well as high-profile special guests.

“Hennessy is the master of blending, and Artistry, is all about artistic blends of music genre, culture and style. The lineup is coming together nicely. The Roots and I are really collaborating to create a musical blend of talent that will do Artistry justice. We are planning some surprises as well, it should be quite an experience and I am thrilled to be a part of it,” says Common.

Hennessy Senior Vice President Andy Glaser stated, “Our vision is for each event to be a blend of musical, artistic, and cultural experiences that give our brand’s fans a once in a lifetime experience—a memorable legacy that will remain synonymous with Hennessy.”

Since its inception, The Hennessy Artistry series has featured a myriad of talent, both local and mainstream (Kanye West, LL Cool J, and Ne-Yo [curator of 2007 series]).

In the past 12 months, the event has taken place in various regions of the world such as Stuttgart, Sydney, Hong Kong, and Hanoi.
