Closer To My Dreams Tour Tickets

The Closer To My Dreams Tour (CTMD) was a defining 2011 showcase that helped launch a new wave of young R&B and hip-hop talent. Debuting on July 7, 2011 in Los Angeles at the House of Blues Sunset Strip as an 18-city tour, CTMD brought together rising stars and established guests for select dates. The tour highlighted the momentum of Mindless Behavior, Diggy Simmons, Tyga, Lil Twist, Jawan Harris, and Trevante, with Ciara joining for select shows. It earned early promotion from BET Networks and 106 & Park and made notable stops like Irving Plaza in New York City on July 28, 2011, along with other House of Blues venues nationwide.
