Fiserv Forum usually represents orange or Bucks colors – but when April comes around next year, it'll be all pink as rap star Nicki Minaj will bring her "Pink Friday 2" world tour to the Downtown arena on Saturday, April 13. 

Next year's show will mark Minaj's first Milwaukee concert in more than a decade, last playing Brew City in 2011 as an opening act for Britney Spears during her Summerfest Amp-headlining set. 

The concert announcement comes hot on the heels of the release of the "Starships," "Anaconda" and "Barbie World" superstar's latest album: the long-awaited "Pink Friday 2," dropped on Dec. 8. The record is the 12-time Grammy nominee's first since 2018's "Queen."

Tickets for the tour stop will go on sale to the general public beginning at 9 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 15 at Nicki Minaj's website. There will also, however, be a presale for Citi cardmembers running Tuesday, Dec. 12 at 9 a.m. through Thursday, Dec. 14 at 9 p.m. For more information about the Citi presale, click here – and for information on VIP packages, visit VIP Nation's website

As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.

When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
