Described as the ultimate Black Eyed Peas party experience, this AEG Live-produced tour marks the first time that the group – will.i.am, apl.de.ap, Taboo and Fergie – has been united for a North American headline tour since their 2006 “Monkey Business” world tour.

World Tour” proves the “energy never dies” with a feast for the senses for hundreds of thousands of fans. The tour will also be “green,” with a unique charitable component to be announced in the weeks ahead.


To date, The Black Eyed Peas have sold over 27 million combined units worldwide, and have logged over 300 headlining tour dates in 29 countries, with over 2.2 million tickets sold. “The E.N.D.,” The Black Eyed Peas’ fifth studio album, is RIAA-certified triple platinum in the U.S., with worldwide sales of more than 9 million copies.
