Eve interview: Tour with Nelly, Ja Rule, where to buy tickets
Eve has returned to the party.
After a nine-year hiatus — save for a handful of one-off concerts and festival appearances — the hitmaker is returning to the stage with co-headliners Nelly and Ja Rule on their summer 2025 'Where The Party At Tour.'
And, now, nearly a decade removed from the spotlight, the Philadelphia native and mother to a three-year-old is excited to deliver her classic chart-toppers with a twist to her fans.

'I know people are coming to hear the hits and I pretty much keep it to that but there are some newer tracks, too,' the Grammy-winner told The New York Post in an exclusive interview. 'Between the choreography, themes and visuals, the actual show itself is very modern. I keep it upbeat.'
Based on concert footage from a recent gig of hers in London shared on Instagram, it's abundantly clear Eve's telling the truth. Her stage show looks as lively, raucous, high-octane and adventurous as any she's ever put on over the course of her 27-year career.
Or as she humbly said 'it's a good time and there's a great energy.'
If you want to see Eve live and 'have ya mind blown,' the 'Where's The Party At Tour' wil be in the Tri-State for a trio of gigs these next few weeks.

First up, the 'Where The Party At Tour' is slated to drop by Holmdel, NJ's PNC Bank Arts Center on Saturday, July 26.
Shortly after, the '00 hitmakers swing into Long Island's Jones Beach Theater on Sunday, July 27. Finally, they'll rock Buffalo's Darien Lake Amphitheater on Friday, Aug. 1.
From there, the 27-show 'Party' stretches all the way into September.

Eve interview
The talented singer/rapper took us behind the scenes of the tour and filled in the gaps on everything we wanted to know. Here's what she had to tell us about 'Where The Party At.'
What songs do you take to the stage on tour?
Songs I know people want to dance to. 'Who's That Girl,' 'Gangsta Lovin'' and lot of things in between. My favorite songs to play these days are 'Blow Your Mind' and 'Satisfaction.' My dancers are incredible. So, I give them some shine. My DJ is amazing as well, so he gets some time. It's a party the whole show. I just want people to come and have a good time.
What makes these co-headliner shows special?
Nelly, Ja Rule and I come from this era of Hip-Hop that was just incredible. There was a a certain sound. There was a certain aura and that's what makes it special.

And Nelly's got the Saint Lunatics on stage. His dancers are incredible. Obviously, his track list is amazing as is Ja Rule's. It's gonna be hit after hit after hit.'
What's it like touring with your husband and three-year-old?
'My husband has always come with me and my bonus kids when I've performed but I've never had a three-year-old on a tour, so we'll see how that goes. But my mother is also gonna be on tour and my brother, so it's gonna be a family affair.
Have how have you grown as a performer these past few years?

What excites me about performing these songs that I've done for so long is being able to visually give them new life with dancing and choreography. Like with 'Who's That Girl,' I had a female trumpet player perform with me at one of the shows in London, and she is in the video for Who's That Girl.' We've also found footage of women of color throughout history who played the trumpet and horns. I wanted to give that song a little more weight, make it mean something a little more and teach people some things too.
What's the coolest part of Nelly's portion of the show?
In Europe, he had a VIP section on stage, and I think that is a really cool concept. They play out a whole thing about letting them into the VIP section with security, and that's dope, being on stage with an artist and becoming a part of the performance.
What should people come why should people come out to your live show?

We all need some levity at this point in our lives and if we can help you go back to a place in your life where you were having the best time, let the music transport you. Come and relive your high school years or bring bring your kids.
t'll be a good night out. Come and enjoy yourself.'

We've had so many wonderful people that have worked on this show, and I think you're gonna love everybody's part because they have worked so hard. But you know, this has been my dream for a long time. You know what's funny, back in 1964, when I was a senior in high school, did I tell you this story? Advertisement Well, my high school class, we went to New York to the World's Fair. And that was the year that every taxi cab in New York said, 'Hello, Dolly.' That's when the musical 'Hello, Dolly' was there, and I thought, wow. I can't wait to see my name on a taxi cab again… I want you to know that we're so happy that we get to do this in my hometown here in Nashville…' She concluded her charming speech by telling the crowd not to sing along to the songs they know and love.

Why Steve Jobs' Daughter Eve's $5M Wedding Is Turning a Rural Town 'Upside Down'
Move over Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, there's a new tech billionaire wedding on the horizon, and this time it's Steve Jobs' daughter, Eve Jobs, whose English wedding is 'turning rural Oxfordshire upside down,' per a source. The 27-year-old model is set to marry British showjumper Harry Charles in a quiet English village this weekend, and per The Sun, there will be no expenses spared on the $5 million event. More from SheKnows Insiders Claim This Member of the British Royal Family May Be at Eve Jobs' Wedding This Weekend 'It's a society wedding like no other and it's turning rural Oxfordshire upside down,' a source told the outlet. 'The sleepy village in which it's taking place feels like it's turning into a no-go zone, with secret service operatives and blokes who look like they work for the FBI.' Eve is the youngest child of Laurene Powell Jobs and Apple founder Steve Jobs, who died in 2011 and the age of 56. Laurene, who also shares 33-year-old son Reed and 29-year-old daughter Erin with her late-husband, is reportedly going all out for the wedding and has booked Elton John to perform. Famous guests will include former Vice President Kamala Harris, who is a close friend of Laurene, Bruce Springsteen's daughter Jessica, and Bill Gates' daughters, Phoebe and Jennifer. 'This is a very quiet place not far from the Cotswolds. Everyone is used to tourists and famous faces, but this is something else,' the source added. 'There are a lot of important American political figures going to be there. No doubt they'll all be Googling each other.' 'The wedding is being planned like a military operation,' the insider added. 'The itinerary is scheduled so precisely, with guests starting to arrive all this week before the wedding celebrations begin on Thursday.' Eve debuted her relationship with Harry at the Paris Olympics, where he took home a gold medal along with the rest of the British showjumping team.

Insiders Claim This Member of the British Royal Family May Be at Eve Jobs' Wedding This Weekend
Steve Jobs' daughter Eve Jobs is getting married this weekend to Olympian Harry Charles in the sleepy village of Cotswold, and it's already gearing up to become a huge spectacle. 2025 is the year of big weddings, and Eve is going all out, especially with the guest list; which includes one royal. It's been alleged that Bill Gates' daughter, Jennifer Gates, will be in attendance, as well as Kamala Harris, but the one that's confusing everyone is that Princess Beatrice may be going to the wedding, according to DailyMail. More from SheKnows Why Steve Jobs' Daughter Eve's $5M Wedding Is Turning a Rural Town 'Upside Down' Now, is Eve pals with Beatrice? We have literally no idea, because before her reported attendance, there has really never been any indication that they're pals. There's no social media crossover between them, or with Eve's fiance Harry Charles, or Beatrice's husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. So, this invite has people so confused, but it seems the wedding will be A-list clad and royal-clad. But Beatrice is a staple in high society events, especially in England. Since this wedding is set to be a huge society wedding, with The Sun saying, 'Eve and Harry's wedding is like a multi-million-pound fairytale. It's a society wedding like no other and it's turning rural Oxfordshire upside down;' it's no wonder Beatrice is set to go. Like this wedding, Eve and Harry's relationship is kept quite under wraps. It's unclear when they got together, but they made their public debut as a couple at the 2024 Olympics. Then, they got engaged soon after, per SF of SheKnows 15 Times the Celebrity Death Rule of Threes Actually Happened The Best Photos of Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne's Kids Growing Up Over the Years Everything We Know About Carolyn Bessette's Life Before JFK JR Solve the daily Crossword
