ahhh man these shows are gonna be flippin great!
I saw the word London and my heart skipped a beat for a hot second then I came back down to earth and thought durrh it’s a North American tour.
Anyone in north America that doesn’t go is just stuupid!
Even though I won’t be there well done guys these shows are gonna be awesome be sure to post loads of great pics.
ohhh I’m just gonna go kick rocks with frustration!
Is N.E.R.D really doing this Oct 23 Powerhouse date???
I don’t want to pay and there is no NERD, Wale, or J. Cole. I love Jay but didn’t want to put out the money to sit through Jeremih, Keri Hilson and the rest. They’re cool but hey I don’t want to pay this $250(not trying to sit in the nose bleed section) and all I see is Jay. Sorry Hov love ya but NERD sealed the deal for me.
Just got my Nov 7 tics in my hometown…can’t wait!!!
what about florida?
No dates in New York around December times? Possibly might come from London to be there to see a friend in Brooklyn.. do you guys want to be super nice & perhaps pursuade Jigga to do a date there?
I will love you guys much more! Dont worry Melly Mel! You can come too we already discussed that LOL
Lauryn x

I love BC, whistler the most. Maybe next time. It’s hurts. Cali forever!
solid line up!
I think I might’ve just shit my pants as I read this… This might’ve just made my year! Shit is gonna be crazy!!!
WTF! livenation says you guys will only be in Ohio…Ohio!! if y’all are going to be in cali i’ll take a road trip but Ohio? That state is almost as bad as Arizona.
Y DONT U EVERRR COME TO NEW ORLEANS!!!!!!
Damn what happened to NYC?
Ya’ll forgot about the LA show!
Pharrell what about Va Beach??

A HOME SHOW WOULD BE NICE.
