    Guaranteed to be a tour that Black Jacks, as 2NE1 fans are  called, will not forget, 2NE1 Global Tour 2012 - New Evo lution is set to be an amazing spectacle that will far exceed  fans’ expectations, bringing an epic and world-class performance.

    Coming together to help create the tour is the ultimate  dream team consisting of four-time winner of the MTV Video  Music Award for Best Choreography, Travis Payne, who will  be leading production and choreography, Divinity Roxx  (musical director and bassist for Beyonce’s world tour),  leader of the band following 2NE1 on tour, Michael Cotten  (production design for the Olympic Games and Michael  Jackson’s This Is It tour) who will be staging a breath-taking  production for the tour, and head costume designer and  stylist, Jeremy Scott who has worked for Madonna and Lady  Gaga.
