Monica and Trey Songz Announce Tour Dates

R&B Diva Monica and singer Trey Songz have announced their upcoming tour titled The Passion, Pain, and Pleasure Tour.

In a press release sent out to all the blogs, except for mine, Trey said:

“This has been an amazing year for me… The ‘Passion, Pain, & Pleasure Tour’ is not just another show; it will be an up close and personal experience for everyone. With the help of one of the best R&B female vocalists out today, my sister Monica, we promise you a night to remember.”

Shaking my head at Trey actually believing he is the headliner of the tour and that Mo is touring with him.

I told you about this tour back in April when I spoke with Monica who was doing spot dates with Trey at the time. When she saw my post, she laughed and said, “When did I take that picture with Trey?”

Anyway, before we get into the tour dates, I feel that I must remind you guys once again that when you see a photo credit on my blog that says “Photos,” yet there is only one photo in the blog post, it means that the picture is actually two separate images that I Photoshopped together. (See my Best Photoshopped Photos of 2008 post)

I sometimes do this to illustrate my post when I can’t find a picture online of two artists together– and because bloggers frequently swipe pics from my blog without crediting their source. From now on I will indicate Photoshopped pics with the words ‘Photo illustration.’

I got a kick out of seeing this photo of Monica and Trey Songz all over the blogosphere, but it is Photoshopped. So please read my photo caption before you gank pictures off my blog.

The Passion, Pain, and Pleasure Tour kicks off in Shreveport, LA on August 6 with a stop at Atlanta’s Fox Theater on August 13.

Of all the places in Louisiana to choose, they pick Shreveport

S/N: Sandy, how does Monica feel about how bad you go in on Trey? Or can we expect less heat now that he’s touring with Mo??

Morning fam

This should be good.

However, I am fresh off of experiencing the Jill Scott and Maxwell concert this weekend, so my expectations are high.

I would love to see Monica in concert. She is one of the few that I have seen live. Too bad she is not coming to my city.

Dammit! Why do all the good artists come to Philly when I’m going on vacation >:(

And the tower? WHY??? Too dam small IMO..the Liacouras Ctr would have been a better choice

To MO:

Dear Mo, I LOVE YOU. I have met you a few times and EVERY TIME, EVERY SINGLE TIME you have been NOTHING but gracious, welcoming, ENGAGING and REAL, I’ll be a fan and a supporter forever…I will come see you and I can’t wait, but I am SO NOT HAPPY about Trey Touring with you. In my opinion he directly contradicts EVERYTHING YOU, not your IMAGE…YOU show to your fans. Its not his talent, he has talent. its his ATTITUDE, his DEMEANOR, his ARROGANCE and DISRESPECT. Hopefully with all sincerity, this dude will LEARN what GENUINE,Quiet confidence, Humbleness,Graciousness and RESPECT…is all about. GOOD LUCK MO’ love ya…EJ

I see they are kicking it off in my hometown. Actually, I’m from Bossier City, but Shreveport is right across the Red River.

@ Civil and Honey, what’s wrong with Shreveport? It is the third largest city in Louisiana. You all make it sound like Shreveport is some little country town with a population of 80 people.

When do the tickets go on sale????

Monica is opening up for him??? Ahhh #wherethehelldotheydothatat!!!!

If Monica is “opening” for anybody this far in her career I’m bout to be PISSED either she need to partner/co headline or have her own tour…NOT opening for somebody like a damn Trey Songs!

nono:
honeygrahm

@Kimmy lol, no shade on Shreveport but usually you see artists show up in NO. Plus I don’t have anyone to stay with in Shreveport…LOL <—- the real reason behind the hate. I guess because they both are already performing in the NO for the Essence in July is why they chose a different city.

monica+trey=wtf as long as he dont go screaming yuuuppp! lol
Kcalvin2002

I am mad that he thinks Monica is opening for him!!!!! I would go and see the concert, but only if Monica is first….I will be leaving as soon as Trey enters the stage…I can not stand him….I am not into DL men…..

**Sidenote** Why can I see my gravatar everywhere else, but on this site?? **Sideeye**

Monica IS opening for him….whenever a artist performs 1st they are the opening act and preparing the crowd for the main artist….I don’t understand why people are saying she isnt opening for him. Afterall the tour is named after HIS next album? What more proof do you need
