After a banner year of chart-topping singles and a best-selling album, the Black Eyed Peas have announced their THE E.N.D. World Tour 2010 -- their first North American headline tour in about four years.The 32-date venture begins February 4, 2010 with a performance at Philips Arena in Atlanta, GA, and concludes April 11 at General Motors Place in Vancouver, BC. The hip-hop group's calendar also has them bound for shows on February 24 at Madison Square Garden in New York City; March 13 at United Center in Chicago, IL; and March 29 at Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA.
Besides the final date of the tour leg, the Peas have only one other performance booked north of the border. A March 6 concert has been slated for Air Canada Centre in Toronto, ON.
Though the Peas have toured around the world in 2007 and even earlier this fall, the quartet hasn't staged a North American leg since the 2006's MONKEY BUSINESS Tour. That outing featured nearly 30 concerts, including about 10 scheduled stops across the provinces.
The Black Eyed Peas are touring behind their fifth studio album "The E.N.D.," released in June 2009. The album debuted atop the Billboard 200 and was certified Platinum in a little over three months, with sales now nearing the 1.4 million mark.
In addition to their success with sales, the group has also been breaking records on the Billboard charts. The first single "Boom Boom Pow" had the distinction of being the longest-running single in the No. 1 slot on the Hot 100 with a consecutive 12 weeks. When the first single was bumped out of the top position, it was replaced instantly by another Peas track, "I Gotta Feeling." The second single went on for another record-breaking run of 14 consecutive weeks atop the chart.
The Black Eyed Peas will be at the Bank Atlantic Center in Sunrise, Florida on Friday February 6, 2010.
