A$AP Rocky is back outside. For real this time.
After nearly a decade without a full studio album, the Harlem heavyweight just announced the “Don’t Be Dumb World Tour”, a massive 42-date global run that finally brings DON’T BE DUMB to the stage. This is Rocky’s first world tour tied to an album in eight years, and the timing feels intentional. Not rushed. Not nostalgic. Locked in.
The tour kicks off May 27 in Chicago at the United Center and storms through North America before crossing the Atlantic for a full European and UK leg, wrapping up September 30 in Paris at Accor Arena. From arenas to major festivals, Rocky is clearly aiming big. Again.
A Long-Awaited Return, Done Properly
DON’T BE DUMB, released last week, isn’t just a comeback album. It’s a reset. Billboard already called it a project that “rewards patience,” pointing to Rocky’s sharper melodic instincts and more reflective bars. Fans clearly agreed. The album crossed 1 million Spotify pre-saves, making it the most pre-saved hip-hop album on the platform. No gimmicks. Just anticipation.
That hype didn’t come out of nowhere. Over the past year, Rocky’s been everywhere except the studio spotlight. Two A24 films. A Spike Lee collaboration. A Golden Globe moment. Co-chairing the Met Gala. Creative director at Ray-Ban. Chanel house ambassador. Fashion kids stayed fed. Music fans waited. Now both worlds collide.
Tour Dates That Actually Make Sense
The North American run hits all the right cities. Chicago, Toronto, New York, LA, Houston, Atlanta. No weird gaps. No skipping markets. Festival stops like Governors Ball and I-DAYS Milan add extra chaos. Europe gets proper love too, with arena shows across London, Paris, Berlin, Stockholm, Amsterdam, and more.
This isn’t a victory lap. It’s a statement tour.
