One of the biggest breakout stars of 2014 is bringing her special brand of fancy to Atlanta next year.

Iggy Azalea will make a stop at Philips Arena on May 19 after kicking off her "The Great Escape Tour" in April in Fresno, Calif. The Australian rapper will bring "Jealous" singer Nick Jonas and hip-hop acts Tinashe and DJ Wizz Kid on the road with her.

Azalea, who scored a monster hit this year with the song "Fancy" and who counts Atlantan T.I. as a mentor, was recently nominated for four Grammy Awards. She last played Atlanta in September as part of the 2014 Music Midtown lineup.
