Three-time Grammy Award-winning recording artists The Black Eyed Peas, who have just been nominated for another six of the prestigious awards, are coming to shake up Saint Paul’s Xcel Energy Center on Monday, March 22 at 7:30 p.m. The group will soon embark on their 100-date trek “The E.N.D. World Tour 2010,” with special guest LMFAO.

Described as the ultimate Black Eyed Peas party experience, this AEG Live-produced tour marks the first time that the group – will.i.am, apl.de.ap, Taboo and Fergie – has been united for a North American headline tour since their 2006 “Monkey Business” world tour.

In support of their multi-platinum No. 1 album, “The E.N.D,” featuring chart record-breaking consecutive No. 1 singles, “Boom Boom Pow” and “I Gotta Feeling,” The Black Eyed Peas will replicate the party vibe of a hot dance club (complete with guest DJs including will.i.am ) in arenas across the country and around the world. “The E.N.D. World Tour” proves the “energy never dies” with a feast for the senses for hundreds of thousands of fans. The tour will also be “green,” with a unique charitable component to be announced in the weeks ahead.

To date, The Black Eyed Peas have sold over 27 million combined units worldwide, and have logged over 300 headlining tour dates in 29 countries, with over 2.2 million tickets sold. “The E.N.D.,” The Black Eyed Peas’ fifth studio album, is RIAA-certified triple platinum in the U.S., with worldwide sales of more than 9 million copies.
