North West announces concert tour with Molly Santana

North West is going on her first concert tour.

The 13-year-old daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, is launching a co-headlining summer tour with Japanese African-American rapper and singer Molly Santana.

Following West and Santana's performances at Lyrical Lemonade's Summer Smash last week in Chicago, they have announced their plans to go on tour together in August this year. The tour will kick off in Dallas, Texas on 5 August and take in big cities including New York City, Chicago and Toronto, wrapping up in Los Angeles, California on Thursday 27 August.

West is the eldest child of Kardashian and the artist now known as Ye. Born in June 2013, she released her debut EP, N0rth4Evr on 1 May, and has recently been making headlines for her creative piercings and fashion influence.

West's music career is rapidly taking off, with the young teen recently signing with independent music company Gamma. She has also stepped into the production side of the music business, successfully producing beats for other young hip-hop artists.

Kardashian and her rapper ex have three younger children: son Saint, who was born in December 2015; and daughter Chicago, eight, and son Psalm, seven, who both joined the family via surrogate.
