Mary J. Blige has been making rounds to promote her new album, Strength of A Woman, and simultaneously open up about splitting from her husband after 13 years of marriage and now she’s taking her show on the road. ESSENCE Festival 2017 single-night tickets and ticket packages are on sale now! For more info and the latest news, visit our Festival page here. Her album carries themes of love, heartbreak and hidden strength and the 2017 ESSENCE Festival performer is bringing all of that plus more to stages around the world with a little help from fellow Festival artist Lalah Hathaway. Mary took to social media with a trailer in support of the tour announcement on Monday morning as you might imagine, fans are elated.

Be sure to grab your tickets to see Mary J. Blige and Lalah Hathaway light up the stage, alongside more of the biggest names in music, at the 2017 ESSENCE Festival in New Orleans this July.
