Following last Friday's release of Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday 2, previously billed as the "biggest gift" the artist has "ever given humanity," a much-anticipated run of tour dates has been announced.
Monday, Minaj announced that she would soon be hitting the road on a tour that's set to make stops in Oakland, Atlanta, Philly, and more. As Minaj previously explained in a tweet, her prior tour-related announcement was merely focused on which cities she would be performing in “along [with] the approximate dates.” From there, fans were able to signup for pre-sale access. Per Minaj, additional cities would then be added to the routing “if there’s a demand.”
Now, the full lineup of tour dates has been unveiled to the public, revealing a March 2024 start of a journey that will keep Minaj on the road through at least June.
Below, see the full list of Pink Friday 2 dates. A Citi presale is set to kick off on Dec. 12, followed by a series of additional presale events leading up to a Dec. 15 general sales launch.

Originally due in October, the album was ultimately pushed back to Dec. 8, Minaj’s birthday, in part due to vinyl production issues. In a message to fans announcing the change, Minaj assured the Barbz that her latest album (and first since 2018's Queen) would be worth the longer-than-expected wait.
"I will bet any amount of money that Pink Friday 2, the album, is going to make people fall in love immediately," Minaj, whose Ice Spice and Aqua-featuring "Barbie World" was recently nominated for the Best Rap Song Grammy, predicted in a since-removed video.
