After three long years away from touring, The Queen of Hip-Hop Soul is reclaiming her rightful throne.
Mary J. Blige just announced she’ll hit arenas all over the U.S. and Canada on her ‘For My Fans Tour’ with special guests Ne-Yo and Mario from January through April 2025.
Toward the end of the 27-concert run in support of her upcoming album “Gratitude,” the 53-year-old NYC native is scheduled to make five (!) New York and New Jersey stops.
First, Blige drops into Buffalo’s KeyBank Center on March 22.
After that, the nine-time Grammy winner hits Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall on March 28, Newark’s Prudential Center on April 6, New York City’s Madison Square Garden on April 10 and Belmont Park’s UBS Arena on April 11.
“I am so excited to kick off this tour,” Blige shared in a statement. “I have amazing fans and am so grateful for all of the love and support they have given me throughout the years. This tour is for them, and I cannot wait to be able to travel to all these cities and see everyone.”

Mary J. Blige new music
A little over a month ago, Blige released the rapturous single “Breathing” featuring Fabolous.
The 3.5-minute track samples the horn-heavy Scream Jay Hawkins classic “I Put A Spell On You,” expertly marrying the past, present and future of music.
Although it takes a while for Blige’s vocals to kick in, once they do, it’s well worth the wait. She sounds as fresh, urgent and powerful as she does on classics like “Family Affair” and “Real Love.”
Blige’s album “Gratitude” hits shelves on Nov. 15.
