Mary J. Blige, the “Queen of Hip-Hop Soul,” adds nine additional dates to “The For My Fans Tour,” which was first announced in September and begins Jan. 30 at Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina. She’s joined on the tour by special guests Ne-Yo and Mario. The Grammy and Emmy-winning and Oscar-nominated Blige was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in October.

Blige released Gratitude Nov. 15 through her own Beautiful Life Productions and in partnership with 300 Entertainment. In August, she dropped the first single off the album, “Breathing” featuring Fabolous.

The tour will also offer a variety of different VIP packages and experiences for fans to take their concert experience to the next level. Packages vary but include premium tickets including reserved booths & tables, access to the VIP Lounge, exclusive VIP merch item, limited edition VIP poster & more.
