The Nicki Wrld Tour was a concert tour by American rappers Nicki Minaj and Juice Wrld. The European tour supported Minaj's fourth studio album, Queen (2018), and Juice Wrld's second studio album, Death Race for Love (2019). The tour began on February 21, 2019, in Munich, Germany at Olympiahalle and concluded on March 28, 2019, in Geneva, Switzerland at SEG Geneva Arena, consisting of 19 shows.
The tour was originally titled the NickiHndrxx Tour with Future and was to include a North American leg which was set to begin in 2018. Juice Wrld was later announced as the replacement for Future as the co-headliner.
