Just when you thought you had your summer concert itinerary all set, new tour dates have been released for A$AP Rocky and Tyler, the Creator -- instead of seeing them individually, fans will get to see them together as they are teaming up for a collaborative trek starting in September.
The hip-hop duo will be joining musical forces to co-headline live concerts, with Danny Brown and Vince Staples as supporting special guests. So far, 9-city shows have been announced for the upcoming tour that will showcase their performance, beginning in the Northeast and making its way down South. Tickets go on sale Friday, Aug. 7, and the tour dates and cities are listed on their website as:
09/19 - Lowell, MA @ Tsongas Arena
09/22 - New York, NY @ Theater at Madison Square Garden
09/23 - Philadelphia, PA @ Penn's Landing - Festival Pier
09/26 - Clarkston, MI @ DTE Energy Music Theatre
09/27 - Chicago, IL @ Aragon Ballroom
09/30 - Morrison, CO @ Red Rocks Amphitheater
10/02 - Houston, TX @ NRG Center
10/08 - New Orleans, LA @ Bold Sphere Music at Champions Square
10/09 - Dallas, TX @ South Side Ballroom
All of the artists on the forthcoming trek, except for Danny Brown, have dropped albums this year. A$AP and Tyler have been gaining acclaim in recent years with their successful record releases and are two of the youngest and most popular rappers in the industry at the moment.
All of the aforementioned artists, except for Brown, are in their 20s, making them a hit with younger crowds at their performances throughout recent music festivals. The Harlem native performed as the only rap artist at Barcelona's Sonar Music Festival in June, while the Odd Future founder was a part of the star-studded ensemble of Los Angeles' famed Coachella Music Festival. Although their list of famous friends, like Zoe Kravitz and Kendall Jenner, has helped them gain more fame, it is their music that showcases their talents in the end.
A$AP Rocky has been featured in a music video of Kravitz's band, Lolawolf, for "James Franco," and the pair's flirtatious behavior in the video sparked rumors that they were an item. Neither have confirmed their relationship status as an item, and the attention has eventually fallen back on their musical pursuits and talents. UsWeekly reported how Tyler, the Creator made headlines in April when he yelled out, "F**k you," to Jenner at Coachella but later confirmed that it was all in good fun. "People think I hate you love hahaha," he tweeted.
While the rap duo may be well known amongst celeb and civilian music lovers alike, Danny Brown and Vince Staples are not as famous. The tour should not only give a great show to fans of A$AP Rocky and Tyler, the Creator, but also shed a spotlight on the special guests. No matter what, it is bound to be a great venue.
So take a listen to some of your favorite songs from the artists, and get your tickets so you are ready to sing along at the concert. If none of the cities are close by, do not fret, because according to the official tour website, more dates are coming soon. You might just get lucky.
