Nicki Minaj has not announced any concerts in Europe for 2027. As of 6 October 2026 there is no tour, festival headline slot or one-off show on sale in continental Europe or Ireland. Her most recent European dates were part of the Pink Friday 2 World Tour, which crossed the continent between May and July 2024 and ended its European leg at Les Ardentes in Liège on 14 July 2024.
That tour was the biggest of her career. Running from March to October 2024, it became the highest-grossing tour by a female rapper in history, with more than $108 million from its first 70 shows, and it included headline slots at ten festivals. In Europe it mixed arena nights in Amsterdam, Paris, Cologne and Berlin with festival sets in Warsaw, Portimão, Ebreichsdorf, Frauenfeld and Liège, plus an open-air show at Malahide Castle near Dublin.
This page explains what is and is not known about her plans, and tells the full story of Nicki Minaj's concerts in continental Europe and Ireland, from her first club and theatre tour in June 2012 to the eventful European summer of 2024.
There is no official information about Nicki Minaj concerts in Europe in 2027. No dates, cities, venues or on-sale dates have been announced, and nothing has been published about a new world tour.
Her recording plans have also changed since the last tour. In September 2024 she announced that she had scrapped a planned deluxe edition of Pink Friday 2, to be titled Gag City Reloaded, in favour of making her sixth studio album. Historically her European tours have followed new albums: the Pink Friday Tour in 2012, The Pinkprint Tour in 2015, The Nicki Wrld Tour in 2019 after Queen, and the Pink Friday 2 World Tour in 2024. No release date for a sixth album or a tour to support it has been announced.
Her European visits have tended to come in spring or early summer. The 2015 arena dates ran in March, the 2019 tour in February and March, and the 2024 leg from late May to mid-July, with festivals filling the weekends. If a new tour is announced, this page will be updated with the confirmed dates. Until then, treat any list of 2027 dates, ticket offer or 'presale code' with suspicion.
Nicki Minaj's first European headline tour was the Pink Friday Tour in June 2012, two months after Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded. It played mid-sized venues: the Annexet in Stockholm on 8 June, the Oslo Spektrum on 9 June, the Falkoner Teatret in Copenhagen on 11 June, the Ancienne Belgique in Brussels on 13 June, the Tempodrom in Berlin on 16 June, the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam on 18 June and the Alcatraz in Milan on 21 June, with the Zénith in Paris following on 6 July 2012. The Paris set ran to 31 songs.
Ireland saw her twice that year: a short set at the Olympia Theatre in Dublin on 21 August 2012 and a full show at The O2 (now the 3Arena) on 5 November 2012, on the Pink Friday: Reloaded Tour.
The Pinkprint Tour moved her into arenas. In March 2015 she played the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam on 19 March, the Festhalle in Frankfurt on 20 March, the Palais 12 in Brussels on 22 March, the König-Pilsener-Arena in Oberhausen on 23 March, two nights at the Zénith in Paris on 25 and 26 March and the 3Arena in Dublin on 31 March. A summer leg followed in July 2015 with the Roman amphitheatre of the Arènes de Nîmes on 7 July, Milan on 8 July, Liège on 11 July and the Ferropolis site at Gräfenhainichen in eastern Germany on 12 July.
The Nicki Wrld Tour of 2019 was her widest European run. It opened at the Olympiahalle in Munich on 21 February and continued through the Atlas Arena in Łódź, the Budapest Sportarena, the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin, the Royal Arena in Copenhagen, the Oslo Spektrum, the Ericsson Globe in Stockholm, the Palais 12 in Brussels on 6 March and the AccorHotels Arena in Paris on 7 March. After the UK dates it returned for the Rockhal in Esch-sur-Alzette, the Festhalle in Frankfurt, the Lanxess Arena in Cologne, the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam on 25 March and two Swiss shows, at the Hallenstadion in Zürich and the Geneva Arena on 27 and 28 March 2019. The Brussels set in our archive has 40 songs.
The Pink Friday 2 World Tour reached Europe in May 2024. It opened at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam on 23 May, then played the Accor Arena in Paris on 1 and 9 June, the Lanxess Arena in Cologne on 5 June, the Uber Arena in Berlin on 7 June, the Royal Arena in Copenhagen on 11 June, the Tele2 Arena in Stockholm on 12 June and the Fiera Milano arena at Rho on 3 July. On 6 July 2024 she headlined Malahide Castle near Dublin, her first Irish show in more than nine years.
That leg was disrupted. On 25 May 2024 she was arrested in Amsterdam on suspicion of marijuana possession as she was about to fly to Manchester; the Manchester show was moved, a second Amsterdam date planned for 2 June was cancelled, and a Cologne show planned for 4 June was cancelled because of the rescheduling, although the 5 June Cologne date went ahead. A concert in Bucharest on 7 July was also cancelled after her security team advised her not to travel because of protests.
The table below lists 52 documented European concerts by Nicki Minaj between 2012 and 2024, with the most shows in Paris (6), Dublin (4), Milan (4), Amsterdam (4), Stockholm (3), Copenhagen (3). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

Across the 15 most recent documented European concerts with a full song list (21 February 2019 to 14 July 2024), these are the songs that came up most often. Titles only — set lists change from night to night.
Festivals were a large part of the 2024 European leg. According to the tour's Wikipedia article she played the Orange Warsaw Festival on 8 June, Afro Nation in Portimão on 27 June, Rolling Loud Europe at Ebreichsdorf in Austria on 5 July, Openair Frauenfeld in Switzerland on 13 July and Les Ardentes in Liège on 14 July 2024. Her 22-song Liège set is the last Nicki Minaj concert in continental Europe in our archive.
Before that, festival appearances were rare. The 2015 summer dates in Nîmes, Milan, Liège and Gräfenhainichen were open-air events with shorter sets of 19 to 26 songs. She also performed with Little Mix at the 2018 MTV Europe Music Awards near Bilbao, a two-song appearance at the Bizkaia Arena in Barakaldo on 4 November 2018.
Onika Tanya Maraj was born on 8 December 1982 in Trinidad and raised in New York City. She began rapping professionally in the early 2000s and built a following with three mixtapes between 2007 and 2009. Her debut album, Pink Friday (2010), topped the US Billboard 200 and produced 'Super Bass', and in 2011 she opened for Britney Spears on the Femme Fatale Tour.
Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (2012), led by 'Starships', took her into dance-pop and reached No. 1 in the UK. She returned to hip-hop with The Pinkprint (2014), home to 'Anaconda', and with Queen (2018), which included 'Chun-Li'. Her guest verse on 'Bang Bang' with Jessie J and Ariana Grande gave her a first UK No. 1 single in 2014.
She scored her first US No. 1 singles in 2020 with 'Say So' and 'Trollz'. Pink Friday 2, released on her birthday, 8 December 2023, debuted at No. 1 in the US and made her the female rapper with the most US No. 1 albums; it reached No. 3 in the UK. 'Super Freaky Girl' became her first solo US No. 1.
With more than 100 million records sold, Minaj is the best-selling female rapper. Her awards include a Brit Award, eleven BET Awards, eight MTV Video Music Awards and twelve MTV Europe Music Awards. In 2023 Billboard and Vibe ranked her the greatest female rapper of all time.
| Album | Year | Chart peak |
|---|---|---|
| Pink Friday | 2010 | UK 16 |
| Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded | 2012 | UK 1 |
| The Pinkprint | 2014 | UK 22 |
| Queen | 2018 | UK 5 |
| Pink Friday 2 | 2023 | UK 3 |
Amsterdam has played a bigger part in Nicki Minaj's European touring than any other city. She has headlined there on every tour since 2012: the Heineken Music Hall in June 2012 and the Ziggo Dome in March 2015, March 2019 and May 2024, where the 23 May 2024 show opened the European leg of the Pink Friday 2 World Tour.
It was also in Amsterdam, two days later, that she was arrested on suspicion of marijuana possession before a flight to Manchester. The consequences were felt across the tour: the Manchester show was postponed, a second Amsterdam date on 2 June was cancelled and the first of two planned Cologne dates was dropped.
Paris is the city she has played most often in continental Europe. She headlined the Zénith in July 2012 and for two nights in March 2015, and the AccorHotels Arena (now the Accor Arena) in March 2019. In 2024 she played the Accor Arena twice, on 1 and 9 June, with 32 and 31 songs.
The second Zénith night in March 2015 had 34 songs, one of the longest European sets in our archive. No Paris date has been announced for 2027.
Irish fans have seen her four times: the Olympia Theatre in August 2012, The O2 in November 2012, the 3Arena in March 2015 and Malahide Castle on 6 July 2024. Malahide Castle, north of Dublin, was her first open-air headline show in Ireland.
The Malahide set had 22 songs and closely followed the festival version of the 2024 show, opening with 'I'm the Best' and 'Barbie Dangerous' and closing with 'Moment 4 Life', 'Starships', 'The Night Is Still Young' and 'Everybody'.
Germany is her most visited country by number of shows: Berlin in 2012, Frankfurt and Oberhausen in 2015, Gräfenhainichen in July 2015, Munich, Berlin, Frankfurt and Cologne in 2019, and Cologne and Berlin again in 2024. Copenhagen, Stockholm and Oslo have been on three of her European tours.
Central and eastern Europe came later. The Nicki Wrld Tour added Łódź and Budapest in February 2019, and the 2024 leg played Warsaw and Ebreichsdorf near Vienna. A Bucharest show planned for 7 July 2024 was cancelled on security advice.
A Nicki Minaj headline show in Europe has run between about 25 and 40 songs, often cut into short versions and medleys. The 2019 arena shows had 36 songs in Munich, Berlin and Paris; the 2024 arena shows had 27 to 32, and festival sets 22 to 26.
Across her European concerts the most played songs are 'Moment 4 Life', 'Super Bass', 'Starships', 'Anaconda', 'Feeling Myself', 'Pound the Alarm' and 'Turn Me On'. The 2024 shows leaned on Pink Friday 2: 'FTCU', 'Beep Beep', 'Big Difference', 'Pink Birthday', 'Needle', 'Red Ruby Da Sleeze', 'Barbie World' and 'Everybody' all appeared in Liège on 14 July 2024, alongside 'Chun-Li', 'Roman's Revenge', 'Monster', 'Super Freaky Girl' and 'The Night Is Still Young'.
What a 2027 show would contain depends on the sixth album, which has not been released.
No tickets are on sale for Nicki Minaj concerts in Europe in 2027, because no concerts have been announced. If a website is selling tickets or a 'presale code' for a 2027 European tour, it is selling something that does not exist yet.
When a tour is announced, tickets will be sold through the official ticketing outlets of each country and through the venues. Presales are usually announced together with the dates, often through the artist's mailing list or partner offers. Sign up only through official channels; a genuine presale code is never sold.
Festival appearances are sold as festival tickets, on each festival's own site. For resale, use the official resale service of the ticketing outlet in each country where one exists, and check the date and venue before buying.
