Mary J. Blige has announced her For My Fans Tour dates, which will begin next year. Blige will stop at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena on Feb. 3. Ne-Yo and Mario are the tour’s opening acts.
The 27-date tour kicks off in Greensboro, North Carolina, in January and concludes in Boston, in April. On Nov. 15, she’ll drop her 15th studio album “Gratitude.” Blige said the upcoming tour is an ode to her supporters throughout her extensive career.
“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 press release. “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.”
Artist presale tickets for the tour will be available starting Tuesday. General tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. via LiveNation.com .
Blige previously performed in Atlanta last year for her Strength of a Woman Festival , which was held at State Farm Arena (the annual festival moved to New York City this year). Next month, she’ll be inducted into Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
