A$AP Rocky Announces ‘Don’t Be Dumb’ World Tour Dates

A$AP Rocky has revealed the itinerary for his expansive "Don't Be Dumb World Tour," a 42-date Live Nation-promoted trek that will launch in Chicago on May 27 and wrap up in Paris this September. The tour announcement follows closely on the release of his long-awaited fourth studio album, also titled "Don't Be Dumb," which arrived last Friday after an eight-year hiatus. This new project marks a significant return for the Harlem-born rapper, whose previous album, 2018's "Testing," was noted for its experimental sound.

Tickets for the global tour will become widely available on Tuesday, January 27, at 9 a.m. local time. However, several exclusive presales will precede the general sale. In North America, fans can register for an artist presale beginning Friday, January 23, by signing up at livemu.sc/asaprocky before Wednesday, January 21, at 10:00 p.m. ET. Notably, for presales hosted on Ticketmaster, access is tied directly to a user's account and does not require a code, though other ticketing platforms may utilize one. For European and UK dates, an artist presale starts Wednesday, January 21, at 9:00 a.m. local time with the password "DONTBEDUMB." Additionally, Cash App Card holders will have an exclusive first chance to buy tickets for all U.S. tour stops.

To enhance the fan experience, a variety of VIP packages will be available. These premium offerings, which vary by location, can include prime seating, a behind-the-scenes tour, entry to a private pre-show lounge, and limited-edition merchandise. Industry analysts suggest such high-tier packages have become a crucial revenue stream for major tours, allowing artists to connect with their most dedicated supporters while offering unique value.

The tour's extensive routing covers major arenas across North America before moving to Europe. The North American leg includes stops in cities like Toronto, New York, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and Seattle. The European segment will visit iconic venues such as London's O2 Arena—one of the world's busiest entertainment venues—and conclude at the Accor Arena in Paris. The schedule also includes festival appearances at New York's The Governors Ball and Milan's I-DAYS. This ambitious schedule underscores the global demand for Rocky's first major tour in nearly a decade, promising a high-energy showcase of his new material and classic hits.
