Mary J. Blige, a dynamic superstar widely known as the “Queen of Hip-Hop Soul,” has added some dates to her 2025 tour and Alabama is on the list.

Blige, 53, is set to perform on Feb. 15 at the Legacy Arena at the BJCC, with opening acts Ne-Yo and Mario. Tickets for the 7 p.m. show go on sale Friday, Dec. 13, at 10 a.m. CT via Ticketmaster, after a round of pre-sales. Ticket prices are $69.50, $89.50, $99.50, $159.50, $199.50 and $279.50, plus service charges, according to promoter Live Nation.

Pre-sales start on Tuesday, Dec. 10, at 10 a.m. CT and end on Friday, Dec. 13, at 9:45 a.m. CT, according to the ticket listing.

Blige, a nine-time Grammy winner and 2024 inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, is touring on a new album, “Gratitude,” released in November. “The tour and album are both a celebration of the love and gratitude that Mary has towards her life, family, friends and her beloved fans,” a press release says.

Blige’s “For My Fans Tour” runs from Jan. 30 at Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina, through April 17 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, according to Live Nation. More than 35 dates are on the agenda, including nine new shows announced on Monday. (See the full list of tour dates here.)

The New York native burst onto the music scene in 1992 with the album “What’s the 411?” and continued to earn fame with records such as “My Life,” “Share My World,” “Mary,” “No More Drama,” “The Breakthrough” and more. Blige has many hit singles to her credit, including “You Remind Me,” “Reminisce,” “Real Love,” “Not Gon’ Cry,” “Seven Days,” “Family Affair,” “One,” “Be Without You,” “I’m Goin’ Down” and more.

“Mary J. Blige’s anthems of resilience and empowerment have inspired a legion of loyal fans — particularly women — while influencing virtually every R&B artist of the last 20 years,” the Rock Hall’s website says. It also praises Blige for “crafting an indelible sound all her own,” fusing rap and soul while following in the footsteps of blues legends such as Billie Holiday, Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith and Nina Simone.

Blige has many music accolades to her credit, including a Emmy for Outstanding Variety Special for her performance at the Super Bowl LVI halftime show in 2022. She also received Billboard’s prestigious Icon Award in 2022, joining an elite list of “artists who have achieved excellence on the Billboard charts and have made an indelible mark on music itself,” the magazine said. (Previous recipients have included Prince, Stevie Wonder, Cher, Janet Jackson and Garth Brooks.)

Blige has performed in Birmingham before, including shows at the former Birmingham Heritage Festival, Boutwell Auditorium and Legacy Arena. One notable standout: Her June 2013 concert at the arena, which earned a five-star rating from AL.com.

“Blige is an immensely gifted R&B singer, with power and precision and emotional heft at her disposal. She’s also a dynamic entertainer, capable of connecting with her audience members (especially female ones) in potent and meaningful ways,” the review said. “True, attending one of Blige’s shows is like being in a therapy session. It’s all about loving unworthy men, leaving them in the dust, searching for respect and maintaining dignity in the midst of strife. That’s part of the appeal, though.

“With eloquence and street smarts, Blige expresses ideas that strike at the hearts and minds of ordinary women. Their problems are her problems, stardom notwithstanding. … Blige — resplendent in a series of skintight catsuits and sky-high stilettos — kept the sisterhood vibe going strong at the BJCC. She strutted. She preached. She confessed. She rejoiced. At one point, she fell to her knees, apparently overcome with feeling.”

Although best known as a singer and songwriter, Blige also has forged a career as an actress, appearing in movies such as “Rock of Ages,” “Respect,” “Betty & Coretta” and “Mudbound.” She’s appeared on several reality TV shows, including “The Voice” and “American Idol,” and was a recurring cast member on the daytime drama “One Life to Live,” from 2006 to 2008.

Blige offered insight into her career philosophy during her Rock Hall induction speech, cited by many as a highlight of the event on Oct. 19.

“Sustaining comes from having humility, and the way you treat yourself and others,” Blige said. “Life is full of peaks and valleys. So be careful how you treat others, because you never know who you’re gonna need on your way up or on your way down. So I say this: Move with grace. Trust the process of your journey. Share your wisdom and love and respect with all who crosses your path. Offer forgiveness because we all are works in progress. You don’t have to wait until you’re perfect to feel worthy. You are worthy.”
