Grammy-winning music superstar of the 2000s Nelly is embarking on a world tour in 2025, with 54 dates across the globe including a stop in the Chicago area, according to an announcement from Live Nation.
The "Where the Party At Tour," kicking off March 21, in New Zealand, will celebrate the 25th anniversary of his debut studio album, Country Grammar, the announcement said. The tour, which will feature special guests on select dates including Ja Rule, Eve, St. Lunatics, Fabolous, Jermaine Dupri and Chingy, will stop on Aug. 13 at the Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre in Tinley Park.
The tour will take fans on a "journey through Nelly's career," including popular songs like Hot in Herre, Dilemma and Ride Wit Me, the announcement said.
"Known for his larger-than-life personality and ability to bridge genres from hip-hop to country, Nelly promises a show packed with surprises," Live Nation said.
Nelly's tour announcement comes on the heels of other major artists touring in 2025 with stops in Chicago, including Keith Urban and AC/DC.
