Nicki Minaj announces Pink Friday 2 Tour: What you need to know, including tickets, dates

Nicki Minaj will hit the road next year for her first North American tour since 2016.

On Friday, the "Barbie World" rapper announced 40 cities she'll be visiting on the Pink Friday 2 Tour in North America and Europe.

Named after her upcoming album, set to be released on Dec. 8, the tour will mark her first since The Pinkprint Tour in North America in 2015 and 2016, and 2019's Nicki Wrld Tour with Juice Wrld in Europe.

According to her website, Minaj will make stops in Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Chicago, Las Vegas, Miami, Los Angeles and Brooklyn, New York. For the European leg, the rapper will hit Amsterdam, London and Paris.

Minaj urged fans not to panic as her website crashed with fans waiting for information on the tour. She wrote: "There were lots of ppl waiting on the site. About 30K ppl. Pls breathe."

The rapper is coming off of a Grammy nomination for her "Barbie" soundtrack contribution with Ice Spice, and a Vogue cover, where she discussed marriage, plastic surgery and motherhood. She shared how her son influenced "Pink Friday 2" during an episode of Vogue's "73 Questions" series.

"Some of the songs started off being written about four years ago, there were songs … I couldn't record sexually explicit songs while I was pregnant so I ended up just getting turned off for a very long time and I had writer's block for a while, even after I had the baby," she recalled.
