NEWARK -- Sultry pop star Selena Gomez will soon be back on the road and is set to revisit New Jersey.
Gomez announced Monday a new world tour set for 2016, which includes a June 2 date at Prudential Center in Newark. She last played New Jersey in Oct. 2013, also at Prudential Center.
The Revival tour will support the 23-year-old's eponymous, sophomore LP, released Friday. The album features current Billboard Top 10 smash "Good For You."
"This album marks a new and very important chapter in my life," Gomez said in a statement. "I cannot wait to get on stage and perform this new material."
Gomez joins Janet Jackson and The Who among Prudential Center's most anticipated 2016 events.
An opener for the show has not yet been announced.
Tickets go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m. on Ticketmaster.com.
Gomez's rise, from cutesy Disney star to bonafide dance-pop force has mimicked the path of Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Justin Timberlake. The music video for "Good For You" currently has 140 million views on YouTube.
