The Oscar-winning animated movie "Encanto" and its vibrant songs are hitting the road for a one-of-a-kind concert event.
Disney Concerts announced Tuesday it is teaming with Live Nation for the upcoming "Encanto: The Sing-Along Film Concert Tour," which begins this summer. The tour starts in Ridgefield, Washington, on July 18 and spans 32 North American stops before coming to a close on Aug. 28 in Chicago. Other stops include Phoenix; Dallas; Tampa, Florida; and other major American cities.
What makes this event unique is that concertgoers will be able to watch "Encanto" in full on the venue's gigantic screen. While everyone is encouraged to sing along with the film's original songs, an on-stage band will also provide live music to make the experience more immersive.
The iconic songs, all of which were written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, quickly took over social media. In particular, the record-breaking "We Don't Talk About Bruno" topped Billboard's Hot 100 chart for five weeks, the longest No. 1 streak of any Disney song in history.
In addition, the "Encanto" soundtrack topped the Billboard 200 chart for nine nonconsecutive weeks. Other standout songs from the soundtrack include "Surface Pressure" and the Oscar-nominated track "Dos Oruguitas."
Tickets for "Encanto: The Sing-Along Film Concert Tour" go on sale starting Friday, April 29 at 10 a.m. local time on Live Nation, which also lists the full schedule of dates.
Disney is the parent company of ABC News and "Good Morning America."
