Nicki Minaj Will Bring Gag City to a Town Near You on Her 2024 Tour
Barbz, get those credit cards out — the mayor of Gag City is going on tour! On Monday, Live Nation announced Nicki Minaj‘s headline arena tour in support of Pink Friday 2, which arrived Friday, Nov. 8. The tour includes stops at festivals Rolling Loud California and Dreamville Festival.
Minaj will commence her tour in Oakland on March 1. She’ll stop in cities such as Phoenix, New Orleans, Atlanta, New York City, Washington, D.C., Columbus, Milwaukee, and Montreal, before closing the North American tour in Austin. The rapper will then head overseas for a series of shows in Europe in early June.
On May 29, Minaj unveiled additional North American dates bringing the Pink Friday 2 world tour to 22 cities in September and October 2024. The new slate of shows include stops in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Philadelphia, Miami, Birmingham, and more. Minaj will perform a headlining show at New York’s Madison Square Garden and UBS Arena, located in her hometown of Queens.
Tickets for the newly added North American dates go on sale to the general public on Friday, May 31 at 9 a.m. local time. Citibank cardholders will have access to a presale starting Wednesday, May 29 at 2 p.m EST.
The tour will also offer VIP packages, including the Gag City Headquarters package, which includes a ticket in the first 10 rows, two drinks, a press-on nail station, photo backdrops, VIP merchandise, and a Call of Duty gaming station. (The package name is a reference to the AI world that Minaj’s fans created to promote the project.)
Minaj released Pink Friday 2 to mixed reviews. The LP features tracks such as “Let Me Calm Down” with J. Cole, “Needle” with Drake, and “Everybody” featuring Lil Uzi Vert. “Pink Friday 2 attempts to balance the expectations attached to naming itself after its groundbreaking 2010 predecessor with Minaj’s spirit of constant reinvention and confrontational persona,” Rolling Stone said in the review of the album.
