Multi-platinum hip-hop star Megan Thee Stallion will kick off her first-ever headlining tour May 14 at Minneapolis’ Target Center.
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday through Ticketmaster. Neither the venue nor the promoter announced prices. Memphis rapper GloRilla (“Tomorrow,” “Yeah Glo!”) opens.
Born Megan Jovon Ruth Pete, she first gained attention through videos of her rapping that went viral on Instagram. That led to a record deal in 2018 and her breakthrough 2019 hits “Hot Girl Summer” (featuring Ty Dolla Sign and Nicki Minaj) and “Cash S—” (featuring DaBaby).
Her 2020 debut album “Good News” spawned the No. 1 hit “Savage” as well as “Girls in the Hood,” “Don’t Stop,” “Body” and “Cry Baby.” Her 2022 follow-up “Traumazine” found similar success with “Sweetest Pie,” “Plan B,” “Pressurelicious” and “Her.” She’s perhaps best known for guesting on Cardi B’s notoriously explicit 2020 smash “WAP,” which topped the charts around the world.
“Hiss,” her most recent single, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and also became the first-ever solo female rap song to debut No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200, giving Megan the record for the biggest first week for a solo female rap song in history.
Previously, the rapper opened for Meek Mill and Future in 2019 and Dua Lipa in 2022 and has played numerous festivals, including Coachella, Austin City Limits, Outside Lands, Rock in Rio and the Reading and Glastonbury fests.
