BROOKLYN, NY — Oprah Winfrey's stop at the Barclays Center next year will include a special guest that is no stranger to the venue — former First Lady Michelle Obama.

Live Nation announced Wednesday that Winfrey’s wellness arena tour with WW (Weight Watchers Reimagined) — dubbed “Oprah’s 2020 Vision: Your Life in Focus” — will also include guest appearances from a rock-star lineup of celebrities, including a chat with Obama.

Winfrey will stop by the Barclays Center for a morning show with the former First Lady on Saturday, Feb. 8. Tickets are already on sale for the 9 a.m. show and readers can enter the promo code "PatchTickets10" to get 10 percent off.

On the tour, Winfrey will hold one-on-one conversations with her guests, not unlike when she visited Michelle Obama's book tour last year. In that tour, Obama stopped by the Barclays Center twice for sold-out shows.

Winfrey's star-packed Vision tour will also include celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Dwayne Johnson, Amy Schumer, Tina Fey, Tracee Ellis Ross and Kate Hudson throughout Winfrey's shows in across the country.
