Chris Brown seems unable to escape controversy in his personal life. On Tuesday, a judge ordered him to stay 100 yards away from his ex-girlfriend after she accused him of physical abuse and threats.
But that hasn’t prevented the R&B singer from announcing a new tour that will kick off March 31 in Baltimore.
Brown's "The Party Tour" will span more than 30 shows, where he will be joined by 50 Cent, Fabolous, O.T., Genasis and Kap G. The shows will feature Brown being joined throughout the night by his musical friends.
“The Party Tour” swing through Philips Arena at 7:30 p.m. May 2.
Tickets are on sale now through a Citi cardmember pre-sale (visit www.citiprivatepass.com). On Feb. 23 at 10 a.m., pre-sales through Ticketmaster, Live Nation and Spotify begin. The general public on sale is 10 a.m. Feb. 25. Tickets are $39.95-$249.95 and can be purchased at the venue box office, www.ticketmaster.com and by calling 1-800-745-3000.
Brown's current single, "Party," features Atlanta's Gucci Mane and Usher. Considering that R. Kelly, B.o.B. and Keith Sweat were surprise guests at Brown's last outing at Philips Arena in March 2015, there's a good chance some Atlanta artists may join this Party.
