The Pink Friday: Reloaded Tour was the second concert tour and debut arena tour by Trinidadian-American recording artist Nicki Minaj to promote her second studio album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded and its re-release Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded – The Re-Up. It followed her first concert tour, Pink Friday Tour, which was extended with the Reloaded Tour due to high demands with fans wanting her to tour their cities.
This tour will be a more grand production than the Pink Friday Tour. Amendments will include a more theatrical show, a bigger set, bigger stage, more dancers, and it will be much more synchronized including a story line and video content. Nicki stated that this tour will be like her "Pink Friday Tour on steroids." With the tour kicking off in Nottingham, England, the tour has currently received favorable reviews from critics, praising the vibe and production of the tour. But as it kicked off, the tour has also managed to generate controversy. The tour grossed $10 million.
It was announced via Minaj's Twitter that British singer-songwriter and the UK's X Factor Semi-finalist Misha B, will be opening for her in the United Kingdom and that Tyga, Nicki's Young Money label mate, will be an opening act for the European leg for this tour as well.
On August 1, 2012, Minaj announced that the tour would start later than planned and this would affect the October dates in Australia, Paris, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Belgium. Minaj said the reason she had to postpone these dates were because she was working on a 'secret project,' later revealed to be American Idol and international scheduling conflicts that would also effect Nicki's European dates. Live Nation.com officially announced the rescheduled dates for the Oceania leg for the Reloaded Tour August 6, 2012 on their website.
Tyga, who is the opening act for both Australia and New Zealand announced that he cancelled his appearance in New Zealand. Live Nation Entertainment, who sponsored the tour announced via their Twitter that Tyga was unable to attend the concert. They confirmed he was unable to attend due to complications with travel arrangements, and that his touring party did not manage to be there in time for the concert. He apologized the same night, but Live Nation confirmed he would continue to tour Australia. New Zealand artist Zowie and DJ Tim Phin replaced him for the performance.
