The Pink Friday 2 World Tour is the upcoming fourth solo, and fifth overall, concert tour by Trinidadian rapper Nicki Minaj, in support of her fifth studio album Pink Friday 2 (2023). The tour will commence on March 1, 2024, in Oakland, United States, and is set to conclude on June 9, 2024, in Paris, France. More dates will be announced soon. It is her first concert tour in five years, since The Nicki Wrld Tour (2019).

Background

On June 29, 2023, Nicki Minaj announced her fifth studio album Pink Friday 2.[1] The album was originally slated for release on October 20, 2023, but was eventually delayed to November 17.[2] In her announcement, Minaj revealed that a concert tour supporting the album would begin "around the first quarter of 2024". During an Instagram live stream on October 11, she stated that the "approach" and "feel" of the tour would be "very different". She said: "This will be a very different feeling tour, even if you've been to every Nicki Minaj tour that's ever existed".[3]

In late October, she announced that the album's release was ultimately delayed to December 8, 2023;[4] and that details of the tour would be revealed on November 17 – the previously iterated release date of the album.[5]

On November 17, 2023, Minaj announced the Pink Friday 2 Tour and released a roster of 40 cities in the United States, Canada, and Europe that the tour would visit in 2024.[6] A webpage on her website and Laylo, a fan engagement online platform, was made available for fans to sign up for the ticket presale.[7] Minaj's website crashed for a short time, minutes after her announcement. She stated that "about [thirty thousand] [users]" were on the virtual queue of the sign-up page. Alec Ellin, CEO of Laylo, revealed via his social media that it "drove the single most site traffic we've ever seen at once" and "hundreds of thousands of fans" signed up within the first hour of the announcement.[8] The rapper revealed that dates, venues, and the ticket sale for the tour would be announced in December.

On December 7, Minaj announced the European tour dates via her Twitter account, beginning in May 2024 in Manchester and ending in June in Berlin.[9] Presale for the European dates commenced exclusively to fans who signed up, on December 8, 2023.[10] Tickets went on general public sale on December 15, 2023.[11]

On December 11, 2023, Minaj announced the US and Canada dates. The North American leg includes her headlining slots at the Rolling Loud California and Dreamville festivals in March and April 2024.[12] Citi cardholders were granted presale access on December 12, followed by a Live Nation presale which was held on December 14.[13][14]

On December 14, second dates were added in Boston, Chicago, Amsterdam, and Manchester due to high demand.[15] Public on-sale for the North America leg began on December 15 via Minaj's website and Ticketmaster.[11] A second Paris date was added on December 18; it went on sale the day after.[16]
