The Barbz are in for an exciting 2024.

Shortly after releasing her highly anticipated album Pink Friday 2 on Dec. 8, Nicki Minaj announced she’s taking the new project out on the road. On Monday, the Queen of Rap, 41, shared that she’s setting out on tour across the globe in 2024 on the Nicki Minaj Presents: Pink Friday 2 World Tour.

The rapper will begin her run of live shows with the North American leg in the spring. The outing kicks off on March 1 in Oakland, California and will stop at major arenas in cities like Las Vegas, Atlanta, Philadelphia, New York City, Chicago and more. After 28 dates in North America, including the final show on May 12 in Austin, Texas, the hip-hop superstar will take the tour abroad to the U.K. and Europe through late spring.

In the midst of the tour, she’ll also make headlining stops at Rolling Loud California in Inglewood, California and Dreamville Festival in Raleigh, North Carolina on March 15 and April 7, respectively.

At her upcoming shows, fans can expect her to transform the stage into Gag City — the hot pink, utopian metropolis featured in her new album’s promotional materials — and perform both new hits and classics.

The “Super Bass” artist herself posted to Instagram to announce her string of live performances and how excited she is to hit the road. “BARBZZZ!!” she wrote in the caption, addressing her legion of devout fans. “It’s time for the #GagCity TOUR. So excited to see you guys!!”

Support for Nicki Minaj Presents: Pink Friday 2 World Tour has yet to be announced.

Ahead of its release in an Instagram Live, the “Red Ruby da Sleeze” rapper called the album an “incredible body of work that I am so proud of.”

She added, “This entire album will be the biggest gift I have ever given humanity thus far. I can stand by that. I will bet any amount of money that Pink Friday 2 the album is going to make people fall in love immediately.”
