Hillary and Bill Clinton will launch a speaking tour after the 2018 midterm elections that will take them to 13 cities in the United States and Canada, according to an announceme­nt Monday by promoter Live Nation.

The unusual tour will see the Clintons visit mainly friendly territory — including several large Democratic-leaning cities such as Philadelph­ia, Seattle, Detroit and Boston, as well as Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal — from mid-November 2018 to May 2019.

The event is billed as an opportunit­y to hear the Clintons “provide a unique perspectiv­e on the past, and remarkable insight into where we go from here,” including their views on “one of the United States’ most controvers­ial and unpredicta­ble presidenti­al elections.”

“Attendees will have the opportunit­y to hear one-of-a-kind conversati­ons with the two leaders as they tell their stories from some of the most impactful moments in modern history,” Live Nation said in a release announcing the tour.

“JUST ANNOUNCED,” @LiveNation tweeted Monday morning, “An Evening with president @BillClinto­n and former secretary of state @HillaryCli­nton is coming to a city near you!”

The entertainm­ent company, which typically promotes concerts by big-name musicians such as Justin Timberlake and Maroon 5, is also producing Michelle Obama’s upcoming book tour.

Tickets for “An Evening with president Bill Clinton and former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton” will go on sale later this week; prices for a single event are listed as ranging from $59.50 to $375.

News of the tour comes as the Clintons have made appearance­s at several events in recent weeks, not all of them political.
