Pop sensation Jennifer Lopez is set to electrify stages across the U.S. after a five-year hiatus with her upcoming "This Is Me...Now" tour. Starting June 26 in Orlando, Florida, the superstar's tour will steamroll into Chicago with a performance slated for July 26 at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont. NBC Chicago reports this marks Lopez's first grand tour since 2019 and is pegged to coincide with her latest studio album, also titled "This Is Me...Now."

The "Jenny from the Block" singer, who last toured in 2019, is planning to bring her powerhouse vocals and dynamic stage presence to over 30 cities. According to information obtained by WGN-TV, fans can expect to hear a blend of old classics and fresh tracks from her new album during the awe-striking performances. Eager enthusiasts will have their first shot at snagging tickets during a fan club presale on Feb. 20, with additional presales rolling out throughout the week followed by a general on-sale starting Feb. 23 at LiveNation.com.

But the artist isn't just sticking to music for her 2024 revival. Lopez co-wrote and stars in "This is Me…Now: A Love Story," a Prime Video movie musical that's touted as "the most personal thing I’ve ever done." The film, which also features appearances by husband Ben Affleck and a star-studded cast, drops Friday, as reported by NBC Chicago. Additionally, J.Lo fans can also get an intimate glimpse behind the curtains with her "The Greatest Love Story Never Told" documentary, premiering on Feb. 27 on Prime Video.

With a tour calendar that reads like a travel enthusiast's bucket list, Lopez is prepared to have concertgoers dancing in the aisles from Florida to California, and eventually wrapping things up back in the Lone Star State with a final show in Houston on August 31. Full details of all the tour dates and cities are available on LiveNation's website for those planning to take part in the summer extravaganza. And while we will have to wait until summer to catch J.Lo live, her fans are already marking their calendars for the fan club presale, which is heating up to start on Feb. 20 at 9 a.m.
