Iggy Azalea concert chronology

Background

Initially, Azalea was set to tour and release her album in September 2013. During an interview with Billboard, Azalea stated she was working on stage and costume design.[2] However, an invitation to open shows (in Asia and Australia) for American recording artist, Beyoncé on her 2013 tour, delayed both projects.[3] Shortly after the release of her fourth single, tour details were finalized.

The tour is sponsored by Monster Energy and promoted by Live Nation.[4] Monster Energy is teaming up with consulting firm, Idol Roc Entertainment, to present the "Monster Energy Hip Hop Outbreak"; a music event to help promote emerging performers in the hip-hop industry.[4] Thus, the tour is officially known as the Monster Energy Outbreak Tour presents: Iggy Azalea—The New Classic Tour.
