Kanye West and Lady GaGa will tour together later this year.

West told the hosts of The View today (Wednesday) that he and the barely-clothed MuchMusic Video Awards performer and wannabe Jonas Brothers gangbanger would perform together on the tour.

"She's talented and so incredible that she's not an opening act," West said on the show, according to Rollingstone.com. "We're doing it together, with no opening act."

This tour isn't really that surprising and actually makes a lot of sense. Both artists are prone to wearing clothes that make them look like space cadets, and West revealed he's a GaGa fan when he called her this generation's Madonna last month.

"I LOOK AT OUR CURRENT SUPERSTARS LIKE LEGENDS IN THE MAKING..." he wrote in his typically restrained manner.

"LIKE JUSTIN [Timberlake] IS THE NEW MIKE [Jackson], BEYONCE'S THE NEW TINA TURNER, [Lady] GAGA'S MADONNA, JAY [-Z] IS [Frank] SINATRA... [Lil'] WAYNE IS [Jimi] HENDRIX, THOM YORKE IS [Pink Floyd's] ROGER WATERS, THESE ARE THE CHAMPIONS AND IT SHOULD BE DOCUMENTED AS SUCH."

No dates have been revealed for the tour yet, but you can see West at the Wireless Festival in London, England's Hyde Park on July 5.
