The Werq the World tour is an ongoing tour featuring drag queens from RuPaul's Drag Race. The tour, created by Brandon Voss and some input by Shangela, is produced by Voss Events in collaboration with VH1 and World of Wonder. It is known for its large-scale shows on stages with jumbotron screens, which give performances a concert-style feel.
Set in a dystopian future, the stars of RuPaul’s Drag Race must choose between the real world and the artificial world they have come to know. The 2023 show delivers an all-new Sci-Fi production specially designed for large venues and arenas.
“We’ve really elevated the show this year with a cohesive storyline that weaves theatre into large scale concert style performance. It’s a multimillion-dollar production that rivals the largest popstars in the world,” says Brandon Voss, the show’s producer.
Werq The World '23
“WERQ THE WORLD is the official RuPaul’s Drag Race tour for a reason,” says Jon Norris of Voss Events. “It is the biggest, most spectacular drag show on the planet. The music, sets, fashion, choreography and lighting in this production are like nothing fans of drag have ever seen before.”
The following queens will be in attendance: Sasha Colby, Mistress Isabelle Brooks, Daya Betty, Kandy Muse, Asia O'Hara, Lady Camden, Naomi Smalls, and Rosé.

Did you know? Nelson back in 1958 was a Houston resident or sort of he rented an apartment near Houston in Pasadena. It was the critical success of his album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978) that made Willie Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. Nelson was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed in the late 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana.
Last June Nelson's publisher Harper Horizon released his latest book written by Turk Pipkin, Willie Nelson's Letters to America. The publisher tells us, "Nelson digs deep into his heart and soul--and his music catalog--to lift us up in difficult times, and to remind us of the endless promise and continuous obligations of all Americans--to themselves, to one another, and to their nation." Nelson talks about his personal heroes, from our founding fathers to the leaders of future generations and to young songwriters as well as leaders of our future generations.
Nelson fans should realize he was born during the Great Depression and raised by his grandparents, Nelson wrote his first song at age seven and joined his first band at ten. During high school, he toured locally with the Bohemian Polka as their lead singer and guitar player. After graduating from high school in 1950, he joined the U.S. Air Force but was later discharged due to back problems. After his return, Nelson attended Baylor University for two years but dropped out because he was really into his music. During this time, he worked as a disc jockey in Texas radio stations and a singer in honky-tonks.
Nelson made his first movie appearance in the 1979 film The Electric Horseman, followed by other appearances in movies and on television. Nelson is a major liberal activist and the co-chair of the advisory board of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), which is in favor of marijuana legalization. On the environmental front, Nelson owns the biodiesel brand Willie Nelson Biodiesel, whose product is made from vegetable oil. Nelson is also the honorary chairman of the advisory board of the Texas Music Project, the official music charity of the state of Texas.
