The Harlem rapper, fresh off the release of his latest album 'Don't Be Dumb', is ready to take his show on the road.

A$AP Rocky announces world tour, Canadian dates

A$AP Rocky is officially taking Don’t Be Dumb on the road, announcing his first major headlining tour in nearly a decade and putting an end to years of stop-start rollout speculation. The Don’t Be Dumb World Tour arrives in the wake of the long-awaited album’s release last week.

Set to launch on May 27 in Chicago, the tour will span more than 40 dates across North America before heading overseas later in the summer for a European and U.K. run.


Rocky also has something for his fans North of the border, as he is scheduled to perform in Toronto on May 31st, followed by a Montréal stop on June 1st. Additional Canadian dates are slated for Western Canada later in the tour, with shows planned in Vancouver on Canada Day, and stops in Edmonton and Calgary in early July. The Montréal date, in particular, marks Rocky’s first appearance in the city as a headlining artist in several years.

The tour announcement follows a high-profile promotional stretch that included a Saturday Night Live performance and a series of visually ambitious music videos tied to the album. Live, the new material is expected to sit alongside selections from LONG.LIVE.A$AP, AT.LONG.LAST.A$AP and TESTING, offering a career-spanning setlist shaped by the tone of his latest offering.

Ticket presales begin this week, with general on-sale dates rolling out shortly after on A$AP Rocky's official website.

What Awaits Sean Combs After He’s Released From Prison

When Cassie Ventura filed her 2023 lawsuit accusing Sean Combs of sex trafficking and assault, Rolling Stone’s senior entertainment investigative reporter Cheyenne Roundtree began tracing the music mogul’s rise to power and allegations that had long circulated only in whispered warnings. Her reporting appeared in Rolling Stone’s May 2024 feature Bad Boy for Life: Sean Combs’ History of Violence, and in the HBO documentary The Fall of Diddy, for which she received a consulting producer credit. She later covered Combs’s criminal trial and partial conviction from start to finish. Now, in her debut book, Bad Boy for Life: The Rise and Fall of Sean Combs, due out Sept. 29 via Henry Holt, Roundtree offers a sweeping account of the label executive’s flashy ascent and staggering fall from grace.
