TOUR NEWS: Mary J Blige Australian Tour (postponed)

NOTE (June 6 2008): It is with great disappointment that Chugg Entertainment announce that the highly anticipated Mary J Blige tour, scheduled to commence in Perth on Tuesday 10th June will be postponed until November of this year.

“As a singer, Mary really is the heir to Aretha Franklin” – Sting

“The most important soul singer of our time” - The Independent (2006)

“She’s the premier RnB vocalist of her generation” - Rolling Stone (2006)

“This generation’s most distinctive singer” - USA Today (2003)

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

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 and the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Saturday 14th June.

The supremely stylish and exceedingly beautiful Mary J Blige is without doubt one of the greatest 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 R&B and inspired a generation of artists who have followed her lead. She has secured her place as one of the worlds top pop diva’s by appealing to older fans with her soul sensibility and maintaining youthful credibility with her Hip Hop savvy.

The album Growing Pains is out now through Geffen Records.

Tickets go on sale from 9am Friday May 16 through Ticketek (Perth, Melbourne, Brisbane) and Ticketmaster (Sydney).

Tour Dates:
Tuesday June 10 - Burswood Dome, Perth
