Blue Lips Tour

TDE’s stellar 2024 looks to continue into the new year. Part of that standout year was Schoolboy Q’s dropping his new album, Blue Lips, which debuted at No. 13 on the US Billboard 200 chart and became one of hip-hop’s favorite releases. In 2025, Q is returning to the road on a second Blue Lips Tour after a run of a dozen dates this summer. Kicking off in late January at the Fox Theater in Oakland, California, and running through February in London, the tour’s tickets go on sale Friday, November 22, with a presale Thursday, November 21. You can find more information about tickets here.

While Q’s 2024 included a fair number of wins, such as reuniting with Kendrick Lamar at the Compton native’s Pop Out show at the forum, the results of that victorious moment did backfire a bit on Q’s first tour, after his Toronto show was canceled without warning — supposedly as a result of Drake’s meddling. Since next year’s tour isn’t routed through the Canadian city, perhaps he’ll fare better next time around. You can see the tour dates below.

The last time Schoolboy Q went on tour was in 2019, for his then-new album Crash Talk. At the time, he hit 19 cities through the fall, concluding his tour on December 4 in his native Los Angeles. He announced his next album would come out sometime in 2020. Then, the pandemic hit and the possibility of touring went out the window for a number of artists.

Despite apparently completing that album as promised, Q decided to hold off on releasing it, as the landscape of the recording industry had changed so rapidly with the advent of TikTok, an explosion in music festivals, and a general uncertainty about how to proceed. Q himself settled into dad life, even releasing a standalone single about being a “Soccer Dad,” and worked on his golf game. However, he’s got a new album out, Blue Lips, so it’s fair to wonder: Will he go on tour again for his new album?

If his tweet about the subject is anything to go on, it looks like the answer is a resounding yes. Responding to a tweet about the speculation surrounding a desired tour announcement, Q wrote an all-caps endorsement, “BLUE LIPS TOUR,” complete with the widely acknowledged shouting emoji.
