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.

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