The tour, which commences on May 27 in Chicago, is in celebration of his latest album, Don’t Be Dumb, which was released on Jan. 16.
The album received generally positive reviews, and Live Nation says that “unprecedented hype” helped push the album past a million pre-saves on Spotify, “making it hip-hop’s most pre-saved album on the platform.”
While A$AP Rocky’s last full-scale tour was back in 2019, the rapper has performed at festivals like Lollapalooza and Camp Flog Gnaw in recent years.
General on sale will go live on Jan. 27 at 9 a.m. local time. Live Nation also announced pre-sale details.
