ScHoolboy Q Announces New Blue Lips Weekends Tour

Earlier this year, ScHoolboy Q released his first new album in 5 years. He led off what’s expected to be a massive 2024 for his label Top Dawg Entertainment with the critically acclaimed Blue Lips. The album featured guest spots from Freddie Gibbs, Rico Nasty, Ab-Soul, and more. It almost had an even more stacked cast but a planned collaboration with A$AP Rocky fell through. Now fans of the record will get a chance to see him perform the songs live for the first time this summer.

ScHoolboy Q announced a new tour, but it isn’t quite like the kind of tours most artists go on. Instead of playing a tightly packed series of shows in quick succession, he’s going on a “weekends” tour. He’s playing either two or three shows across a weekend for five straight weekends in July and August. The 11-show tour will hit numerous American cities as well as Toronto. Check out the full list of dates and locations below. Also check out the announcement Q shared to Twitter revealing the tour to fans.

ScHoolboy Q’s Weekend Tour

Earlier this month, ScHoolboy Q was drumming up hype for another new album that’s hopefully dropping in 2024. He tweeted about getting a sneak preview of Vince Staples new record and had high praise for the record. Specifically, he said he couldn’t wait to hear the album again though it’s unclear at the moment when fans may get the chance to hear it themselves.

ScHoolboy Q also stopped by for a special new episode of Kenny Beats’ “The Cave” series. He delivered a verse that had fans stunned as the most recent in a line of major MCs to step into the studio. What do you think of ScHoolboy Q’s tour approach to only playing shows on the weekend? Do you think you’ll be attending any of the stops on his upcoming Blue Lips weekends tour? Let us know in the comment section below.

Jhene Aiko Announces Massive “Magic Hour” Tour

R&B darling Jhene Aiko is officially taking off on tour. The singer has recruited an impressive cast of guests and opening acts for a tour that will get underway later this year. Coi Leray, Tink, UMI, and Kiana Lede are all listed as “co-stars” on her upcoming dates. The tour will begin in mid June and run for months until late August making 27 stops across the US. While she hasn’t released an official new album since 2021, she’s got a robust back catalog to unpack across the entire tour.

Earlier this month, Jhene Aiko found herself in some hot water with Ariana Grande fans. That came when she seemed to take shots at the pop singer’s new album eternal sunshine on Instagram. Many think it has something to do with the fact that Ariana is exes with Jhene’s current partner Big Sean.

Megan Thee Stallion’s NSFW “Hot Girl Summer” Tour Announcement Gets Restricted By Instagram

It’s been an undoubtedly exciting few months for Megan Thee Stallion, and fortunately for fans, the fun is just getting started. Amid the fallout of her infamous feud with Nicki Minaj, which was sparked by the release of Meg’s track “Hiss,” she appeared on Good Morning America where she announced her tour. Last week, she finally unveiled a list of cities she plans to hit, including Chicago, Atlanta, Tampa, LA, Vegas, and more.

While actual dates aren’t yet set in stone, Meg says the tour is scheduled to begin in “mid-May” of this year. She shared the exciting news with a magazine-themed Instagram post, in which she’s pictured swimming in a silver bikini. Unfortunately, while fans were obviously thrilled with the announcement, Instagram wasn’t.

Megan Thee Stallion Reveals Which Cities She’s Performing In This May

“HOTTIESSS GET READY TO COME HAVE SOME FUN WITH ME AT THEE HOT GIRL SUMMER TOUR,” Meg captioned the image. Shortly after her post, Instagram restricted its visibility due to nudity concerns. She received a warning from the platform, which cited a potential violation of Instagram’s Recommendation Guidelines. Meg later shared the warning with her fans, writing, “Nooo its just a lil cheek lol.” Hopefully, the restrictions won’t prevent too many people from learning of the “Cobra” performer’s tour.

Embarking on her tour isn’t the only thing Megan Thee Stallion has to look forward to these days, however. During her aforementioned Good Morning America appearance, she also announced that she has a new album on the way. While an official release date has yet to be revealed, the Houston-born rapper teased new music she has on the way last week with another cryptic, snake-themed visual. “Loading…,” she captioned the post, “You ready HOTTIES?” What do you think of Instagram restricting Megan Thee Stallion’s tour announcement? Are you looking forward to seeing the “Cobra” performer live? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Rappers Who’ve Abruptly Canceled Tours

Busta Rhymes canceled his Blockbusta Tour just a week before he was supposed to perform its first show. The rap legend has not yet released a statement or has commented on the tour’s cancellation, leaving fans confused. Ticket buyers are still unsure of the tour’s status and whether or not Busta will reschedule the dates. Unfortunately, rappers canceling tours is nothing unusual in the hip-hop world. Many artists have canceled concerts for a multitude of reasons, including low ticket sales, health concerns, and other personal matters. Even after the COVID-19 Pandemic halted the live music industry, we are still seeing many rappers canceling their tours. In light of Busta Rhymes’s recent tour cancellation, we are looking into other rappers who have abruptly canceled tour dates. Take a look at the list below.

Kanye West

Toward the end of 2016, Kanye West embarked on his Saint Pablo Tour of the United States where he debuted a flying stage. He later extended the tour, adding an entirely new leg of U.S. show dates. West eventually started to behave unpredictably onstage. He ranted about voting for Donald Trump and his relationship with JAY-Z. Kanye then began a pattern of abruptly ending his shows after performing just a few songs. He cut a New York date short following news of Kim Kardashian’s Paris robbery.

Additionally, he suddenly ended a California show after losing his voice. Kanye West ended up canceling the second leg of his Saint Pablo Tour, citing stress and exhaustion as the official reason. He has not toured since.

Nicki Minaj

Nicki Minaj and Future were set to co-headline The NickiHndrxx Tour in 2018 in support of Queen. However, both rappers canceled the North American leg of the tour just a month before the two were scheduled to hit the road. According to Live Nation, “Minaj decided to re-evaluate elements of production,” calling for more time to rehearse. Future and Nicki Minaj never rescheduled The NickiHndrxx Tour. Minaj later relaunched its European leg as The Nicki Wrld Tour, with Juice Wrld opening. Minaj ended up canceling some of the Europe dates due to technical difficulties and extreme weather conditions.

Chance The Rapper

Before canceling, Chance The Rapper initially postponed his Big Tour to spend more time with his family following the birth of his second daughter. He pushed back his supporting tour for his 2019 debut album, The Big Day, from its scheduled start in 2019 to 2020. Shortly after, he announced the arena tour’s official cancellation on December 15, 2019. He acknowledged his fans’ disappointment but promised to reschedule the dates for 2020, which did not materialize. Lil Yachty and Chance’s younger brother, Taylor Bennett, were scheduled to open.

BROCKHAMPTON

The first instance of BROCKHAMPTON canceling a tour was in 2018. The rap group canceled their Stereo Spirit Tour following the departure of Ameer Vann after allegations of sexual misconduct. Fast forward to January 2022, BROCKHAMPTON abruptly announced their “indefinite hiatus” as a group. They also said they would be canceling their Here Right Now Tour, on which they were set to embark over a month later. That same year, BROCKHAMPTON released their supposed final album and played their “final shows” in London and California.

Little Simz

Less than a month before its first concert, Little Simz canceled her 2022 North American tour. The British rapper was supposed to play a series of shows in the United States in support of Sometimes I Might Be Introvert. She addressed the unfortunate cancellation in a statement, saying that “touring the U.S. for a month would leave me in a huge deficit” and that “being an independent artist, I pay for everything encompassing my live performances out of my own pocket.” Following the release of NO THANK YOU later that year, Little Simz toured North America in 2023, though she did not rebook shows in many cities.

Conway The Machine

Out of his Griselda contemporaries, Conway the Machine is one rapper who is notorious for canceling and postponing tours. Back in 2022, he canceled his I’ll Tell You Later Tour, delivering the news via Instagram. Just 11 days before the Griselda rapper was supposed to begin, he acknowledged the bad news but did not cite a particular reason. Some fans speculated low ticket sales despite the recent release of Conway’s acclaimed album, God Don’t Make Mistakes. Last year, he toured in support of his latest album, Won’t He Do It, despite postponing the dates after injuring his leg.

J Hus

In addition to Little Simz, there are many other instances of UK rappers canceling tours. Last year, J Hus announced his biggest run of concerts to date, including two shows at London’s O2 Arena. Hus was promoting his latest album, Beautiful and Brutal Yard, with tour dates around the UK. However, the rapper canceled the entire tour less than a month before its start date. Ticket buyers received an email citing “unforeseen circumstances,” as well as a message from J Hus. He thanked fans for their support, expressing that he was “gutted to not bring the B.A.B.Y. Tour to you this year but excited to share big news of shows next summer.” So far, he has yet to announce any future UK shows.

Kid Cudi Shares The Dates For His Star-Studded “INSANO” World Tour

Kid Cudi has already had a VERY busy 2024. He kicked the year off back in January with the release of his new album INSANO. The album was originally due out last year but was eventually delayed to 2024. The album features an impressive array of collaborators including Travis Scott, A$AP Rocky, Lil Yachty, Pharrell Williams, XXXTENTACION, Lil Wayne, and Young Thug. But Cudi wasn’t done with just the one album as he’s already shared a follow-up to the record.

Last month, Cudi dropped the INSANO (NITRO MEGA) edition. Many fans assumed that it would just be a deluxe edition of INSANO but it turned out to be an entirely new project of its own. It added nearly an hour of entirely original material and added artists like Pusha T, Wiz Khalifa, and more to Cudi’s impressive roster of features so far this year. Last month, Cudi soft-announced an upcoming tour in support of both records and recently he shared the official dates. Check out his official announcement below.

Kid Cudi’s “INSANO” Tour Dates

Fans were expecting a big tour from Cudi, but what they got was even more substantial. Cudi announced 31 North American dates taking place this year in dozens of major American cities. He also revealed 12 European dates he’ll planning on playing next year. Even more impressive might be the roster of talent coming with him on tour. Pusha T, Jaden, Earthgang, and more will be among the opening acts for various shows across the tour.

The tour kicks off later this year in June and pre-sale for tickets begins later this week. Fans who register for the pre-sale now will be able to get first dibs on tickets for the shows next week on March 12. General sale for the shows begins a few days later on March 15.

Andre 3000 Taking His New Album “New Blue Sun” On Tour

Last year, Andre 3000 shared his long-awaited solo debut. In the lead up to the album he promised that it would have “no bars” and he delivered on that promise. What resulted was an ambient jazz album called New Blue Sun that is entirely instrumental and features long compositions with Andre himself prominently playing flute across the album.

The project proved to be pretty controversial, dividing both fans and critics. Many praised Andre for stepping out of his comfort zone and trying such a bold sound. Others resented that they waited for years for a new album from the Outkast legend and it ended up having no rapping whatsoever.

Drake & J. Cole Tour 2024: Dates, Tickets & More

Just when you thought he was done, Drake announced that he’ll be going on tour in 2024 in support of his latest album, For All The Dogs, alongside J Cole. The 6 God revealed the dates on Monday morning for the It’s All A Blur – Big As The What? tour, which will include his “First Person Shooter” collaborator as support on the majority of the dates. This will undoubtedly be one of the biggest tours of 2024, especially given that both Drake and J Cole will share the stage together. 

The announcement comes a little over a month after Drake completed the It’s All A Blur tour with 21 Savage in Toronto on Oct. 7th. That weekend, Drake also delivered his latest album, For All The Dogs. So, it seems like the upcoming shows will provide Drake a prime opportunity to test out bangers like “IDGAF” and “First Person Shooter,” especially as fans revisit For All The Dogs.

Interestingly enough, this tour will mark the first time that Drake and Cole have hit the road together since the 2012 Club Paradise tour. Earlier this year, the two rappers joined forces for a co-headlining set at Dreamville Festival, and Cole later joined Drake on stage in Montreal when 21 Savage wasn’t allowed over the Canadian border. 

The 22-date run of shows, presented by Cash App and Visa and produced by Live Nation, will kick off with two gigs at Ball Arena in Denver, CO on Jan. 18 and 19. The tour will feature a number of back-to-back arena dates, doubling up in New Orleans, Nashville, and Columbus before winding down with a show at The Legacy Arena at BJCC in Birmingham, AL.

Usher Is Reportedly Planning To Announce Global Tour Following Super Bowl Performance

Usher is taking the world by storm, literally. According to an exclusive report from Billboard, there are strong indications that Usher is on the verge of embarking on his first global concert tour in nearly a decade. According to sources close to the Grammy-winning artist, he might choose the grand stage of the Super Bowl to unveil this exciting news. These sources have revealed that Usher’s team has been diligently securing arena reservations in various corners of the world, hinting at the scale and magnitude of this upcoming tour.

Moreover, Usher’s potential tour announcement at the Super Bowl would not be the first time an artist has utilized this high-profile platform to unveil significant news. In fact, Lady Gaga set the notable precedent back in 2017 when she electrified the world by revealing her tour plans right after her unforgettable Super Bowl performance. This historical context adds another layer of intrigue to Usher’s impending Super Bowl appearance and tour announcement.

Subsequently, the spotlight is firmly fixed on Usher as he gears up to headline the 2024 Super Bowl halftime show. As HNHH previously reported, in a recent interview with CBS Mornings, the R&B sensation expressed his profound excitement and anticipation. He shared that performing at the Super Bowl Halftime had been a lifelong dream, and the realization of this dream holds immense significance for him.

Another reason he’s likely excited, is due to the fact that he will be dropping an album, Coming Home, on the same day of his performance. This album marks his ninth studio album and also his return to the music scene after a hiatus since 2016’s Hard II Love. As Usher’s tour plans, album drop, and Super Bowl halftime performance has anticipation building among the people, the world eagerly awaits the official announcement that is bound to set the entertainment world abuzz.

Flo Milli Announces “Thanks For Coming Here, Ho” Tour

Flo Milli has been dropping one great single after another all year. Now, she’s taking those great songs and even more that are coming soon on tour with the freshly announced “Thanks For Coming Here, Ho” tour. The 16-date North American tour takes off in mid-October and averages nearly a show a night as it runs into November. One of her frequent collaborators Maiya The Don will be coming along with her on the tour. Tickets for the shows will go on sale later this week starting Friday, September 8 with special Spotify presale for some fans.

Back in July, Flo Milli announced her new album Fine Ho, Stay. While she didn’t confirm which of her new singles from this year would be included on the album, it’s safe to say some of her series of bangers will make it onto the tracklist. She still hasn’t announced a release date for the project but the tour could give some hint at when it will arrive. With the tour just over a month from now, the album could be planned for release any week now. Check out the tour announcement below.

Flo Milli Taking Off On Tour Later This Year

Last month, Flo Milli was asked who some of her biggest influences are during an interview. She listed Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Missy Elliott, and MC Lyte, all of whom she classified as “icons.” She cited the four as not only influencing her technical ability, but also her artistic flare.

Flo Milli has been on more than her fair share of great posse cuts this year. She teamed up with Sexyy Red and FendiDa Rapper for a “Ladies Remix” of the That Chick Angel song “One Margarita.” She also released her own group cut “Anything Flows” which featured 2rare, Maiya The Don, and Kari Faux. Are you planning on seeing Flo Milli on tour, and if so which date? Let us know in the comment section below.
