The untold story of Kanye's "Glow in the Dark" tour-- aside from the nice looking lineup-- is the re-emergence of N.E.R.D., the Neptunes' rock trio. To add to the reunited good vibes, Pharrell, Chad Hugo, and pal Shay Haley will prove they can stand on their own six feet with a month of headlining shows before joining up with Kanye, Lupe, and Rihanna.

The freshly minted tour fills out the group's March schedule, includes multiple performances at SXSW, and wraps up in Alabama. Then, it's on into the "Dark"!
