Mary J. Blige‘s latest album, ‘Gratitude,’ may be her first studio effort to miss the Billboard 200, but her commercial relevance at touring box offices remains unchallenged.

Just ask the thousands of fans who quickly snapped up tickets to her forthcoming ‘For My Fans Tour,’ which saw its official dates released ahead of the LP’s arrival.

Now, weeks before its January kick off, Mary has announced intent to expand the list of stops due to overwhelming demand.

Details inside.

MJB added nine dates to her highly anticipated ‘Fans Tour’ – a North American jaunt produced by Live Nation that will see her joined by special guests Ne-Yo and Mario.

The 36-city trek kicks off in Greensboro, NC, on January 30 ahead of making stops in Chicago, Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles, New York, and more before its slated wrap up in Philadelphia, PA on April 17.
