Background

On July 7, 2012, after Blige's concert at the Essence Music Festival in New Orleans, she told Rolling Stone a 20 date tour in the states was in the works. Tickets for four shows went on sale a few days after.

During a four night stint at Caesars in Atlantic City (June 29, 30 & July 3, 4), Blige gave fans a peek of what was to come on the tour.

During the tour, VIP Nation also offered fans VIP Packages for the tour.

Opening acts

  • Melanie Fiona
  • Starshell

    • Additional notes

  • Blige performed "Mary Jane (All Night Long)" only in Washington, D.C. replacing "Midnight Drive".
  • "Why" was cut from Blige's setlist at some shows.
  • D'Angelo's setlist was changed often for selected dates during the tour.
  • "Brown Sugar" was his opening song at the Los Angeles show, and at select cities.
