The Queen of Hip Hop Soul Mary J. Blige plans to hold court in New York during a new tour next year.
Kicking off Jan. 30 in Greensboro, North Carolina, the 27-city For My Fans Tour is scheduled to make stops at Newark’s Prudential Center (April 6), New York City’s Madison Square Garden (April 10) and Elmont, NY’s UBS Arena (April 11).
Before wrapping in Boston on April 14, other dates include Atlanta (Feb. 3), Los Angeles (March 1), Chicago (March 15) and Atlantic City (March 28). Tickets go on sale to the general public Oct. 4.
R&B crooners NE-YO and Mario will serve as special guests.
“I am so excited to kick off this tour. I have amazing fans and am so grateful for all of the love and support they have given me throughout the years,” Blige said in a statement Monday.
The singer, 53, also announced that she’ll release a new album entitled “Gratitude” on November 15 ahead of the 2025 tour.
