Kodak Black Joins Sexyy Red’s Tour Following Rumors Of Low Ticket Sales

July 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Sexyy Red has announced that she’s bringing along Kodak Black to perform on her upcoming Sexyy Red 4 President tour. Taking to Instagram on Friday, the “Get It Sexyy” rapper told fans about the exciting update. It comes after rumors surfaced, earlier this month, that she was considering canceling the tour due to low ticket sales.

“ITS DA HOOD HOTTEST PRINCESS AND DA PROJECT BABY!!! WE OUTSIDE FA DA TOUR TICKETS IN MY BIO!! GLEEYEE!! #SEXYYRED4PRESIDENT,” she wrote on Instagram, captioning a video of Kodak seemingly finding out about the situation. In the comments section, fans were stoked by the news. “She always on top istggg,” one fan posted. One more remarked: “This tour finna be hood asf… I gots to be there.” Others had more negative responses. “Nah a Trumper keep him home,” one user wrote. More argued she should’ve gone with Chief Keef instead.

For the tour, Sexyy will be performing across a total of 24 dates from August through October. In addition to Kodak, she’s already bringing along Hunxho, Loe Shimmy, and BlakeIANA as special guests. As for the rumors about low ticket sales, they stem from a Touring Data report from earlier this month. She recently denied the rumors in a post on X (formerly Twitter). “My fans are buying tickets we’re doin just fine we not cancelling no tour dis cancelling sh*t all cap,” she wrote. The tour is in promotion of Sexyy’s latest mixtape, In Sexyy We Trust, which she dropped back in May.

Veeze Tour 2024: Dates, Tickets & More

July 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

With one of the best albums of 2023 with Ganger, and the impeccable momentum he’s gained since releasing its deluxe edition, it only makes sense that Veeze hits the road. This fall, he’ll headline “The Worst Tour Ever,” following the release of his new single “F*cked A Fan” featuring Rylo Rodriguez. This tour will span 35 cities across North America, kicking off in Ottawa, Canada on September 8th and ending on November 26th in Detroit, MI.

Special guests Karrahbooo, Wizz Havinn, and STAR BANDZ will join the line-up for “The Worst Tour Ever.” Moreover, it comes a year after the release of Ganger. Considering the hype around his name, we hope that the tour is an indication that a follow-up album is on the horizon.

Tour Dates

Veeze will kick off the tour with a handful of Canadian shows in early September, beginning in Ottawa Ontario. From there, he’ll hit cities like Edmonton and Calgary before returning to the States to kick off his U.S. leg in October. “The Worst Tour Ever” will include stops in major cities, such as New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. The show will conclude in his hometown of Detroit on November 28th.

Special Guests

Though Veeze stands as one of the most refreshing voices in hip-hop ,“The Worst Tour Ever” will certainly bring along other promising up-and-comers. Karrahbooo, the Concrete Boyz rapper who stole the show on the collective’s On The Radar freestyle, will be joining the line-up, along with Florida’s own Wizz Havinn and “Yea Yea” artist STAR BANDZ. With such an eclectic group of openers, it’s looking like they’ll be bringing the party to every city.

Ticket Information

Tickets for “The Worst Tour Ever” go on sale on July 26th at 12 PM local time. Fans are encouraged to get their tickets early, as shows are expected to sell out quickly. Tickets are available on gangerworldwide.com.

Lupe Fiasco Cleverly Announces Tour Dates With New Song “Tickets”

July 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lupe Fiasco is always thinking outside of the box. The rapper has been drawing critical praise for his new album Samurai, and he’s keeping the momentum going with a tour. Lupe dropped the tour dates in a way that fans have never seen before, though. The rapper decided to drop a new song called “Tickets,” which details how much fun fans are going to have on tour. Lupe even gets specific with what songs he’s going to play, and how fans are going to post videos on social media.

It’s an extremely clever exercise, and one that only a rapper of Lupe Fiasco’s caliber could pull off. He even drops the names of some of his most beloved (and polarizing) albums. “Scary hours, but I ain’t got no stage fright. We gon’ party parts of Cool, also keep it Wave-like,” he raps. “And you gonna get some food—Lasers what they ain’t like. But that ain’t right.” The song has a smooth instrumental and Lupe’s trademark flow. Basically, it’s a bonus track meant to get fans excited for when the rapper rolls through to their town. By that metric, it gets the job done.

Lupe Fiasco Will Tour Nationwide In 2024

A post shared by Lupe Fiasco (@lupefiasco)

The artwork for the single is the one sheet with all the tour dates. Lupe Fiasco also uploaded the dates to his Instagram, which starts in New York and runs all the way through to Los Angeles. Tickets are available for purchase on lupefiasco.com/shows, and “Tickets” is available on IG and YouTube. It’s nice seeing the rapper make headlines for his musical ingenuity, rather than his outspoken opinion. Lupe has been really opposed to Kendrick Lamar in the recent Dot vs. Drake battle, and has made it known. He dismissed the claim that he dislikes the Compton rapper, but continues to voice his support for Drake. He even said the 6 God was a better rapper.

More recently, Lupe Fiasco urged Drake to purchase a share of JAY-Z’s album Reasonable Doubt. “@champagnepapi will keep it safe for generations to come,” the rapper wrote on Instagram. “This is grail and influenced an innumerable amount of rappers… Let Drake make an offer so he can put in where it needs to be.” The 1996 album is known for being one of Kendrick Lamar’s all-time favorites, so many fans viewed this as yet another dig against the Compton legend.

Common And Pete Rock Are Bringing ‘The Auditorium, Vol. 1’ On The Road Thanks To A US Tour

July 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Common With Pete Rock In Concert — Getty Image

Golden Era stalwarts Common and Pete Rock joined forces this year to release a new joint album, The Auditorium, Vol. 1. Featuring the singles “Wise Up” and “All Kind Of Ideas,” the album isn’t quite a “return” to form for either the rapper or producer (because neither ever departed from their respective forms to begin with), but it is a thrilling example of how age gracefully in a genre that tends to discard its pioneers when they grow those grays.

Now, they’re taking the show on the road, announcing their Auditorium tour, which begins in August. The tickets will go on sale Friday, July 19 at 10 AM local time. An artist presale begins Wednesday, July 17 at 12 PM local through Thursday July 18 at 10 PM local. You can register starting today and get more information here. See below for tour dates.

Why Are Future & Metro Boomin Canceling Tour Dates This Summer?

July 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Each summer, we anticipate the biggest tours to come to our city. However, it seems that for a few artists, the demand isn’t high enough. Apparently, that’s the case for Future and Metro Boomin, who are coming off of the release of two joint projects, We Don’t Trust You and We Still Don’t Trust You. The first boasts the hit single, “Like That” ft. Kendrick Lamar and sparked a wild feud between Drake and basically, everyone else who appeared on either of the projects.

Both Metro and Future have strong collaborators within trap music for the better part of the decade. Their combined stardom would’ve presumably been a shoo-in for sold-out crowds worldwide. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. According to Journal Sentinal, the two have officially nixed their August 2nd show in Milwaukee, along with several other dates, from the We Trust You tour. Here’s what we know so far.

Canceled Concerts & Refunds

a screenshot of Fiserv Forum's statement from their website. — Via Fiserv Forum website

Fiserv Forum released a statement late Wednesday afternoon confirming the cancellation of the Milwaukee concert. “Future’s concert scheduled for August 2 at Fiserv Forum has been canceled. If you purchased your ticket from the Fiserv Forum box office or online via Ticketmaster, refunds will be automatically processed and returned within 30 days,” the statement read. Unfortunately, no additional information was provided regarding the reasons behind this decision.

Impact On Upcoming Performances

Interestingly, the canceled Milwaukee concert was scheduled for the night before Future and Metro Boomin’s planned performance at Lollapalooza, the mega music festival in Chicago. According to the tour’s website, the Lollapalooza show is still on. This suggests that the artists are selective about which performances to cancel. If this were a one-off cancellation, perhaps, we’d be able to chalk it up to some sort of prior engagement or travel conflicts related to the two shows. However, Milwaukee isn’t the only city impacted by the recent decisions.

Other Canceled Dates

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Young Metro 3 Times (@metroboomin)

Several other tour dates have been reportedly marked as canceled. These include an August 6 concert in Nashville and an August 10 show in Columbus, Ohio. Moreover, it appears that the two were also expected to perform at New Orleans’ Smoothie King Center (Aug. 20), but the show no longer appears on Ticketmaster, Live Nation, and the venue’s website. Other dates that have reportedly been canceled are Tulsa, OK (Aug. 25). The tour, initially announced in April, was set to cover 26 stops across North America, starting in Kansas City, Missouri, on July 30.

Why Are They Canceling Shows?

WE TRUST YOU, @1future & @MetroBoomin
177,318 Tickets Available (North America)
43.13% Percentage Sold (23/26 shows)
13.5K Estimated Average Capacity
04/19/2024 General Sales Date

— Touring Data (@touringdata) April 21, 2024

Thus far, there isn’t any particular reason that’s been provided to the public. In recent weeks, there have been some rumors that they haven’t been able to move enough tickets in certain markets. There have been a few whispers that both Canadian dates in Toronto and Vancouver may have been impacted by initially gained steam surrounding the pair of Canadian dates in Toronto and Vancouver – largely connected to their ongoing feud with Drake. However, both of these shows seem to be still on their itinerary for this summer.

Ultimately, there hasn’t been any concrete data available that would suggest either Metro Boomin or Future aren’t selling tickets. Still, that wouldn’t necessarily be shocking as it’s been difficult for plenty of major-name artists to book full-blown tours as of late. Even outside of hip-hop, bands like Black Keys and even superstars like Jennifer Lopez have pulled out of cross-country treks. Though J. Lo’s team said she wanted to spend more time with the family, the announcement arrived on the heels of reports of poor sales. Black Keys, on the other hand, canceled their arena tour with promises to reschedule dates in smaller venues.

Conclusion

Despite having two consecutive albums reach the top of the Billboard 200 within a month and a half of each other – not to mention a chart-topping single – Future and Metro Boomin’s recent cancellations put a spotlight on the conversation surrounding the disconnect between the streaming world and hard ticket sales. This conversation has become more prominent, especially as we witness streaming giants fail to fill out arenas. Still, Future and Metro are much more than two artists who’ve grown popular on Spotify and Apple Music; they are pivotal forces who’ve transcended hip-hop in many ways. However, with inflation hitting hard and the cost of concert tickets running deep, the canceled tour dates probably aren’t related to a shift in cultural relevance but rather, the financial crisis impact millions of people. We’ll keep you posted on anymore updates surrounding their upcoming tour.
