Iggy Azalea, Tinashe and Nick Jonas will be hitting the road for "The Great Escape Tour" in 2015.

When she wasn't being nominated for Grammys or flipping off her fans this year, Iggy Azalea spent most of the year touring behind her album The New Classic (which, despite its title, isn't showing up on too many year-end lists). Now it looks like that'll continue on in Spring 2015, as she's just announced "The Great Escape" tour with Tinashe and Nick Jonas. Check out the dates below.

[Update: Tour Pushed Back]

While Iggy Azalea's North American headlining tour was set to kick off next month, it's now been pushed back to the fall. The rescheduling has reportedly occurred due to “production delays,” so when it does roll around, we should at least expect a pretty theatrical show. Of course, there were also reports that Iggy had become “increasingly unresponsive to her management and refuses to engage in promotion,” which could be playing into all this.

While Nick Jonas and Tinashe were set to support the Aussie rapper, they will be replaced on the upcoming stint. Check out the new list of dates below.

September 18 – San Diego, CA – Valley View Casino Center
