In an exciting revelation that sent waves of joy through their fanbase, AQUA, the celebrated music phenomenon, unveiled their much-anticipated Barbie World Tour. Accompanied by a whimsical and fittingly pink-themed photo, the announcement paints a vibrant picture of the musical journey that lies ahead.
Set to commence on November 12, the tour will launch at Seattle’s historic Paramount Theatre, marking the initial stop on a captivating expedition that will traverse various cities across the United States. The grand finale is scheduled for December 20, where AQUA will grace the iconic Hollywood Palladium stage in Los Angeles, just in time to infuse the holiday season with their electrifying tunes.
This eagerly anticipated tour comes on the heels of AQUA’s triumphant headlining performances at New York City’s renowned Irving Plaza and Los Angeles’ enchanting Belasco in June and July, respectively.
With palpable excitement, the trio conveyed their enthusiasm, stating, “Our 27-year journey has led us here! The sold-out shows in NYC and L.A. this summer exceeded our wildest dreams. Embarking on a nationwide tour to connect with our fans in person is a surreal experience. We’re eagerly anticipating this incredible adventure.”
Coinciding with the tour announcement is the revival of interest in AQUA’s iconic 1997 hit, “Barbie Girl,” a track that hails from their debut album, “Aquarium.” The song’s resurgence can be attributed to the tremendous success of a blockbuster Barbie movie, which has notched an impressive $1.3 billion in box office earnings.
Adding a fascinating layer to this narrative, the song “Barbie World,” featured on the movie’s soundtrack and performed by Nicki Minaj and Spice, samples AQUA’s legendary tune. The collaborative track, which graciously acknowledges the trio, stormed onto the scene by debuting at an impressive No. 7 on the esteemed Billboard Hot 100 chart on July 8. This achievement marked Nicki Minaj’s impressive 23rd top 10 hit and AQUA’s second.
For eager concertgoers, the Spotify Fans First presale for the Barbie World Tour is slated to commence on Monday, August 28, at 10 a.m. ET. Subsequently, the general public will have the exciting opportunity to secure tickets starting on Wednesday, August 30, at 10 a.m. ET.
As AQUA embarks on their spellbinding Barbie World Tour, blending nostalgia with contemporary musical exuberance, fans and music enthusiasts alike can anticipate a series of enchanting performances that celebrate the magic of music and the enduring appeal of AQUA’s iconic melodies.
