Chance the Rapper has announced a new North American tour in support of his upcoming album, Star Line.
Chance revealed the 15-city trek on Monday (Aug. 11) via Instagram, noting that these dates were intended exclusively for his biggest supporters. The tour will kick off in Houston, Texas, on Sept. 26 before stopping in major cities including Atlanta, New York and his hometown of Chicago before wrapping up in Los Angeles on Oct. 20.
“How about a quick tour for my closest fans?” Chance wrote alongside the dates.
The tour announcement coincides with Chance gearing up to release his new album, Star Line, on Aug. 15. In July, he dropped the project’s lead single, “Tree,” which featured Lil Wayne and Smino.
Per a press release, Star Line will follow “Chance’s global journey, artistically, spiritually and physically over the past six years. Created with longtime producer DexLvL and shaped by travels to Ghana, Jamaica, and art fairs around the world, Star Line blends hip-hop, soul and experimental sounds with lyrical meditations on identity, resilience and legacy.”
The statement continued: “While Chance has circled the globe in search of new perspectives, the project remains grounded in the worldview that has always defined his art: a deep, unshakable connection to Chicago and to Black culture across the diaspora.”
Chance the Rapper’s sophomore album comes six years after his debut The Big Day, which sported massive features from Death Cab for Cutie, John Legend, Megan Thee Stallion, Gucci Mane, Nicki Minaj and more.
