The Mary J. Blige and Nas doubleheader is moving across town – and with a new date.

The “Royalty Tour” concert slated for July 16 at Cadence Bank Amphitheatre at Chastain Park will now take place at 8 p.m. Aug. 26 at the larger Cellairis Amphitheatre at Lakewood. No reason was provided for the change in date and venue.
