(NEWARK, NJ) -- Two of hip-hop and R&B’s most legendary artists – Mary J.

The hitmaking heavyweights will be bringing a stacked setlist of songs spanning both of their careers that will make this one of the can’t miss shows of the summer.
The North American trek of the tour will see the two performing in a number of indoor and outdoor spaces across amphitheaters and arenas all summer long.

Blige is a figure of inspiration, transformation and empowerment making her one of the defining voices of the contemporary music era. With a track record of eight multi-platinum albums, nine Grammy Awards (plus a staggering 32 nominations), two Academy Award nominations, two Golden Globe nominations, and a SAG nomination, among many other accolades, Blige has cemented herself as a global superstar.
