A Nicki Minaj Australian tour has been announced for 2012 that with see the biggest breakthrough artist of 2011 travel to Australia this May for a series of shows in Sydney and Melbourne.

Tickets will go on sale Friday March 30 at 10am sharp.

2011 was an incredible year for Nicki, with her multi-platinum selling debut album PINKFRIDAY boasting the most charted singles by any female rap album in Billboard history. Nicki also became the first artist to have 7 singles on the Billboard HOT 100 chart simultaneously.

She criss-crossed the US playing to massive sell-out audiences with friend and mentor Lil Wayne on the sold–out “I Am Music II” tour and then slayed audiences as the special guest on Britney Spear’s US tour.

In addition to winning Best Hip Hop Video at the 2011 MTV Video MusicAwards along with Favorite Rap/Hip Hop Album and Favorite Rap/Hip Hop Artist at the 2011 American Music Awards, Nicki was recently nominated for three Grammys for Best New Artist, Best Rap Performance, and Best Rap Album.

As a very special bonus for Australian fans, those purchasing a ticket will have the opportunity to pre-order Nicki’s hotly-anticipated new album “Pink Friday : Roman Reloaded” and be among the first in the world to hear the words and sounds of alter-ego Roman – the perfect companion to one of the most sought-after tickets of the year!
