Legendary pop icon Jennifer Lopez has announced her highly anticipated return to touring with the “This Is Me… Now” North American tour, her first in over five years. The Live Nation-produced trek will kick off on June 26th in Orlando and make stops in over 30 cities across the US and Canada before wrapping up in Houston on August 31st.
The tour comes on the heels of Lopez’s ninth studio album “This Is Me… Now,” set for release on February 17th. The record marks a triumphant follow-up to 2002’s “This Is Me… Then,” which chronicled her high-profile relationship with Ben Affleck during their initial courtship. After nearly two decades apart, Bennifer found their way back together last year, making this album and tour announcement particularly momentous.
“This is the best album I’ve ever made,” Lopez stated in a recent interview with Zane Lowe. She added, “I’ve taken my time with this record, ensuring each lyric, melody, vocal inflection and production element realize a singular vision. I have fine-tuned and persevered each component with love and dedication like never before.”
The upcoming tour promises to take fans on an electrifying musical journey through Jennifer’s storied career. Along with new songs from “This Is Me… Now,” the setlist will feature smash hits like “Waiting For Tonight,” “I’m Real,” “Jenny From the Block,” and other fan favorites that rocketed her to international superstardom.
True to her iconic roots, Lopez plans to incorporate razzle-dazzle production elements and choreography into the live show extravaganza. Her world-class team of dancers, musicians, designers, and technicians will collaborate to create concert magic at each tour stop. Fans can expect over-the-top glitz, glamour, fashion moments and maybe even a surprise guest or two throughout the evening.
