Michelle Obama Coming To Philly For Book Tour

PHILADELPHIA — Former First Lady Michelle Obama is coming to Philadelphia for her new book tour.

Obama will be at The Met Philadelphia on Friday, Nov. 18 to support her upcoming book titled "The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times."

The stop is one of a six-city tour.

Fans can register now through Monday, Sept. 26, for the Verified Fan presale online here.

Verified Fans who receive a code will have access to purchase tickets before the public on Wednesday, Sept. 28, at 10 a.m.

Only fans that have received a unique code will have the chance to purchase tickets on a first come, first served basis.

All tickets will be made available during the Verified Fan presale; any remaining tickets will be sold at the public on sale beginning Friday, Sept. 30, at 10 a.m.

That’s why, in partnership with Live Nation, Obama is giving away a select number of community member tickets in each market. Additional details are forthcoming.

"The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times," will be released globally on Nov. 15.

In this new book, Mrs. Obama offers readers a series of fresh stories and insightful reflections on change, challenge, and power, including her belief that when we light up for others, we can illuminate the richness and potential of the world around us, discovering deeper truths and new pathways for progress.

Drawing from her experiences as a mother, daughter, spouse, friend, and First Lady, she shares the habits and principles she has developed to successfully adapt to change and overcome various obstacles—the earned wisdom that helps her continue to "become."

She details her most valuable practices, like "starting kind," "going high," and assembling a “kitchen table” of trusted friends and mentors.

With trademark humor, candor, and compassion, she also explores issues connected to race, gender, and visibility, encouraging readers to work through fear, find strength in community, and live with boldness.

"I am so excited to share that I will be heading across the country soon to talk with you all about my new book, The Light We Carry," Obama Said. "I'm looking forward to making some new connections — and of course, seeing some familiar faces from the last tour. This book means so much to me—it’s a collection of perspectives and practices I’ve used to keep me afloat amid uncertainty. On this tour, I’ll be sharing some personal stories and lessons that have helped me along my path, and I can’t wait to tell you more."
