Grammy and Emmy award-winning and Oscar-nominated, “Queen of Hip-Hop Soul,” Mary J. Blige announced her 2025 “The For My Fans Tour” on Monday, September 30th, with special guests NE-YO and Mario. The tour comes on the heels of her new album “Gratitude,” released on Friday, November 15th. Blige will release her new studio album, “Gratitude,” through her own Beautiful Life Productions and in partnership with 300 Entertainment. In August, she dropped the first single off the album, “Breathing” featuring Fabolous.
The tour and album are a celebration of the love and gratitude that Mary has towards her life, family, friends, and her beloved fans. Produced by Live Nation, the 27-city tour kicks off on January 30th at Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, NC making stops across North America in Atlanta, Los Angeles, New York, and more before wrapping up in Boston, MA at TD Garden on April 14th.
The tour included three dates in the Tri-State Area, Sunday, April 6th in Newark, NJ at the Prudential Center, Thursday, April 10th in New York City at Madison Square Garden, and Friday, April 11th in Elmont, Long Island, NY at the UBS Arena. See the full list of tour dates in the photo below.
“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,” said the Yonkers native. “This tour is for them, and I cannot wait to be able to travel to all these cities and see everyone. I am in such a place of immense gratitude and peace at this moment, so also having the chance to release my new album “Gratitude” on November 15th ahead of this tour is really special to me.”
Mary’s tour announcement comes ahead of her October 19th Class of 2024 induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame — the latest honor for the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul.
