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.

Ticketholders for the original date at Chastain can exchange their tickets through Ticketmaster for the Aug. 26 show. New ticket purchases ($40.99-$299) are also available through www.livenation.com.

This is the first time Blige and Nas are touring together and they plan to present a setlist of songs spanning both of their careers.
