Mary J Blige in NZ

Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome the Queen of hip-hop soul. The Icon. The Urban Diva. The Voice. The one and only, Mary J Blige.

Promoter Chugg Entertainment is thrilled to announce that Mary J Blige will perform four one-night-only concerts in her first ever tour of NewZealand and Australia next month.

The tour will commence at Perth’s Burswood Dome on Tuesday 10th June and will be followed by three East Coast performances at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on Thursday 12th June, Sydney Entertainment Centre on Friday 13th June, on Saturday 14th June the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, on Monday 16th June the Vector Arena Auckland and finally a very special intimate night at Wellingtons Town Hall on Tuesday June 17.

The supremely stylish and exceedingly beautiful Mary J Blige is also without doubt one of the great singers of our time. The proof is in the consistent worldwide #1 albums and singles, her 23 Grammy nominations and 8 Grammy wins, seven multi-platinum records and over 15-years of equal parts respect and adoration from the public, critics and fellow artists.

Mary J Blige has helped to redefine RnB and inspired a generation of artists who have followed her lead. She has secured her place as one of the worlds top urban diva’s by appealing to older fans with her soul sensibility and maintaining youthful credibility with her hip-hop savvy.
