The general public ticket onsale starts at 9 a.m. Friday through Ticketmaster. Citi cardholders will have access to a presale window running from 9 a.m. Tuesday through 9 p.m. Thursday. A variety of VIP packages will also be available.

Minaj's Pink Friday 2 World Tour will kick off March 1 in Oakland, California, and wind across the U.S. before heading to Europe in May. Further dates will be announced, promoter Live Nation said.

LCA had teased Minaj's coming Detroit concert with a Friday social media post that included a line from her 2014 hit "Anaconda": "Boy toy named Troy, used to live in Detroit."

Minaj's last metro Detroit headlining date came in July 2015 with a show at DTE Energy Music Theatre, now Pine Knob.
