After nearly seven years, Jennifer Lopez has announced plans for her second-ever concert tour. The It’s My Party: The Live Celebration tour was announced as a North American celebration for the On the Floor singer’s upcoming 50th birthday.
During her Wednesday morning appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Lopez revealed the news: “I decided I wanted to do something big.”
The 24-date trek celebration commences in Phoenix, Ariz., on June 7. Before concluding in Miami, Fla., on July 26, Lopez will play three exclusive Canadian shows between Toronto and Montreal.

“My birthday’s in July,” Lopez told Ellen Degeneres as she built up to the reveal. “So this summer, I decided I wanted to do something big.”
“I’m going on a U.S. tour, and it’s called the ‘It’s My Party’ tour!” she exclaimed.
Although the details were vague, the audience roared with excitement. Lopez confirmed the news on Twitter following her appearance.
“We’re only doing a small amount of shows,” she added, “but we’ll be out all throughout June and July.”
Throughout her career, Lopez has headlined three Las Vegas residency tours and made a number of special guest performances on both television and in concert. However, her concert tours are extremely few and far between.
Since 2012’s Dance Again World tour — her debut tour — loyal fans have had their fingers crossed in hopes for a second run.
The It’s My Party tour also serves as the 20th anniversary of Lopez’s debut album, On the 6 (1999).

In wake of the news, dedicated J-Lo fans across the globe expressed their disappointment on Twitter that she was only embarking on a North American tour.
Many began using #TheWorldWantsJLo in hopes to gain the singer’s attention.
Although the singer hasn’t announced any further dates, it’s being heavily speculated that the It’s My Party tour will be a full world tour.
