Doja Cat Announces Tour With Ice Spice & Doechii

Doja Cat just kicked off a brand new era in her career when she dropped her new song “Attention” last week. Now she’s confirmed that later this year she’s going on a massive new tour. The 24-date tour kicks off on Halloween in San Francisco at the Chase Center. From then it hits two dozen stadiums across the country before concluding at United Center in Chicago on December 13th. Coming along for the ride are special guests Ice Spice and Doechii. While none of the trio have ever crossed over in song, they certainly seem to have a lot of fan crossover between them.

She announced the tour with an Instagram post earlier today. The caption is simple enough, reading “see you on the scarlet tour.” As usual, fans flooded to the comments to express their excitement and share which dates they’ll be attending. One of the top comments reads “IM GONNA CRY DOJCHII ON THE SAME STAGE,” combining Doja Cat and Doechii’s names. Elsewhere in the comments fans speculate that Doja Cat is likely to release an album sometime before the tour. Even the name of it, The Scarlet Tour left fans speculating on what her next album may be called.

Doja Cat Hits The Road With Ice Spice And Doechii

Just a few days ago Doja Cat tweeted out something that is always going to get attention online, her cat. She debuted the new pet, nicknamed “Frodo” to the world in a tweet that was viewed millions of times. Like most of the rapper’s online posts, it was deleted shortly after though it’s still possible to find the new kitty elsewhere online. In a recent Instagram live she debuted some spooky new red contact lenses that go perfectly with her new era.

While Doja Cat hasn’t confirmed what her new album will be called, at least not after cycling through the past few names, there is one word that has popped up again and again “Scarlet.” The word in combination with the blood droplet emoji have appeared in nearly all of her recent social media output. What do you think of Doja Cat’s new tour announcement? Let us know in the comment section below.

.Paak and Knxwledge collaborated on the song “Where I Go,” in October of last year. The track also featured R&B singer H.E.R. NxWorries also released an album of Yes Lawd! remixes in 2017. The album, titled Yes Lwd! Remixes marks the duo’s last project outside of the single with H.E.R.

Anderson .Paak And Knxwledge’s First Tour In Years

A post was made to the official NxWorries Instagram account announcing the tour.

Lil Yachty Announces “The Field Trip” Tour

Lil Yachty will be hitting the road in support of his latest album, Let’s Start Here. The Quality Control signee took to Instagram where he announced The Field Trip tour, which will being him across 39 dates in North America and Europe. The tour launches on September 21st in Washington, DC at Echostage before he heads to cities like New York, Toronto, London, Berlin, Las Vegas and more. While he’ll be closing out the tour in Detroit on Nov. 5th there, unfortunately, won’t be any scheduled stops in his hometown of Atlanta.

Yachty’s upcoming tour feels like it could sell out quickly. For those who want to scoop up tickets, artist pre-sale are live on May 10th at 10 a.m. local time while Europe pre-sale is available at 1 pm BST. General public sales will be available on May 12th at 10 a.m. in North America and 12 p.m. in Europe. Given Yachty’s recent experimental sound, it feels like The Field Trip Tour ‘23 will allow his new sound to shine in front of a live audience. 

Lil Yachty’s “Field Trip” Tour

It’s unclear what Lil Yachty has up his sleeve but the rapper’s hinted at using a live band in the past. At the beginning of the year, he held tryouts for an all-women band, which he later debuted during his performance at Saturday Night Live earlier this year. The rapper performed “the BLACK seminole” and “drive ME crazy!” during his SNL with the backing of his new band. It seems likely that they’ll be joining him on the road as well. 

In addition to diving into psychedelic rock, Yachty’s levelled up his raps, as well. The release of “Poland” seemingly kicked off a new era in his career. He recently followed it up with “Striker (Holster).” Maybe another album is on the way soon. Check out the tour dates below for Yachty’s upcoming tour.

Brent Faiyaz Shuts Down Major Label Deals In Favour Of Staying Independent

It’s been quiet on Brent Faiyaz’s front since he delivered WASTELAND back in 2022. Thankfully, the R&B crooner came back to Instagram on Monday (May 1) with some major news, which he’s only been able to top in the time since. Not only does he have a collaboration with Marshmello dropping as his first single of the year on Friday (May 5), but he’s also heading out on tour later this summer and for most of the fall. The F*ck The World It’s A Wasteland tour will kick off on July 16th, followed by stops in North American cities like Chicago, Toronto, Miami, Houston, Oakland, and Los Angeles before he heads overseas to the United Kingdom for more fun.

While in Europe, Faiyaz is set to hit up Glasgow, London, Stockholm Copenhagen, Berlin, Milan, and Barcelona, among other beautiful cities before closing things out with a final concert in Paris on November 19th. Tickets will go on sale to the general public this Friday at 10 AM PDT, while presale will take place on Thursday (May 4). While fans of the “ALL MINE” artist wait in the online queue to purchase their passes, they’ll at least be able to stream his upcoming “Fell In Love” single.

Brent Faiyaz Announces 2023 Tour Dates

Brent shared a teaser of the highly anticipated song earlier this week, along with a video that sees him seemingly putting the charm on a love interest. “You ain’t fall in love with me,” he sings. “You fell in love with the man I could be.” As always, the 27-year-old proved that he knows his demographic all too well and that plenty of women who have a habit of seeing potential, rather than what’s right in front of them, will certainly be un their feelings over this one.

Along with all of those announcements, it was also revealed by Variety that the Maryland native has turned down several major label record deals in favour of remaining independent. He’ll be partnering with UnitedMasters for the time being, who hope to “further amplify his creative vision and support his entrepreneurial ambitions” through their work together. Check out Brent Faiyaz and Marshmello’s “Fell In Love” single teaser below, and tap back in with HNHH this weekend to stream it along with our other new release recommendations.

Drake Fans Furious After He Rescheduled Tour Dates

Drake caused an uproar online after he rescheduled his dates for his upcoming tour with 21 Savage. Moreover, a lot of people specifically took issue with the dates moving from summer of this year to this fall. After all, for such an anticipated and expensive tour, many die-hards probably made big changes to their schedule to attend. That being said, not all tour dates saw a change. New Orleans, Nashville, Houston, Dallas, Miami, and Atlanta dates moving from summer to fall were the ones that fans decried.

Of course, this simply adds to grievances with this concert trek for a lot of supporters out there. For example, the “It’s All A Blur” tour first saw criticism for its insanely high ticket prices, with some comparing it to the likes of Taylor Swift and Beyoncé shows. However, that might not be entirely the organizers’ fault, as Ticketmaster often gets flack for how they “dynamically” shift prices to accommodate for massive demand. In addition, Drake and 21 Savage added various tour dates to the trek as well, so one person’s trash in Houston will be another’s treasure in, for example, Charlotte.

Drake Fans Mad That He Changed Tour Dates Around

Still, that doesn’t make the sting any less potent for a lot of OVO goons. While it’s been a long time since Drake embarked on a tour (since 2018 to be exact), recent shows gave fans hope and proof that this one will be excellent. One of these shows was the 6 God’s run in the historic Apollo Theater in Harlem, New York City. During this and other recent performances, the “Nice For What” MC ran through his classic catalog and his most recent big hits.

Meanwhile, other aspects of the 36-year-old’s live shows left fans with a sour taste in their mouths. Specifically, his Lollapalooza set this year resulted in a late start, short performance, and a canceled livestream. If that sounds familiar, it’s because Coachella and Frank Ocean proved just weeks later that those issues can often plague festival headliners. Still, that doesn’t make it an easier pill to swallow for fans, especially when the blame is unclear. Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest happenings from Drake and check out fan reactions down below.

Fans React To “It’s All A Blur” Rescheduled Dates

Little Simz Headed On Tour After Postponing Last Year

Little Simz has worked hard to amass her fanbase over the years. The British rapper has won over the hearts of many with her independent debut, “A Curious Tale of Trials + Persons,” in 2015. This was followed by “Stillness in Wonderland” in 2016 and “Grey Area” in 2019. Her 2021 project, “Sometimes I Might Be Introvert,” was greatly received, securing her the 2022 Brit Award for Best New Artist. In 2022, she unveiled her latest work of art, “No Thank You,” another critically acclaimed project. Now, Simz is ready to take her music on the road.

On Monday, the 29-year-old announced to her fans that she was headed across the U.S. and Canada for her No Thank You Tour. In an Instagram caption, Simz expressed her gratitude to her supporters who made the tour possible. “It’s been a long time. Appreciate your love and patience,” she wrote. The set of shows is especially special due to Simz previously having to cancel her tour. Last year she was looking forward to performing across the United States. 

Little Simz Self-Funds Her Music And Tours

Unfortunately, being a self-funded artist made this incredibly difficult. Breaking the news to fans via Twitter, Simz explained to followers that she pays for all her tour expenses entirely out of pocket. “Touring the U.S. for a month would leave me in a huge deficit.” Though disappointed at the time, fans sent words of encouragement to the singer and rapper. 

Simz will kick off her tour on September 20th in Chicago at The Riviera Theatre in Chicago, Illinois. Days later, she’ll be at The Masquerade (Heaven) on September 24th in Atlanta, Georgia. The ten-date trek will also have two dates in Canada: October 8th in Toronto and Montreal the following day. Pre-sale access for the No Thank You Tour will be available on Tuesday, April 10th. The general sale will begin on Thursday, April 13th. Though she may not have been on the road, Simz has kept busy with sporadic performances. The same day her general admission tickets go on sale, Simz will grace the stage at The Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles, California. Fans can purchase passes to her show at ittlesimz.com.

Lil Wayne Launches “Welcome To Tha Carter” Tour In An Intimate Setting: Watch

While we wait for The Carter VI, Lil Wayne has been celebrating his expansive catalog. Last week, he released the I Am Music compilation, a collection of his greatest hits since the beginning of Tha Carter series. However, the project conveniently arrived days before he launched his forthcoming tour. What was surprising about the tour announcement was that he plotted on smaller venues than most would expect from such a high-profile artist. Some felt like it was a sign that tickets weren’t moving fast enough but it turns out, he just wanted to treat his day-one fans to an intimate setting.

This week, Wayne kicked off the Welcome To Tha Carter tour in Minneapolis. As footage emerged, fans quickly discovered that Wayne was diving into the back catalog for his North American run. The rapper’s getting up close and personal with his fans while going through records that some haven’t heard live in over a decade. One video reveals that he dove into records off of The Leak including “I’m Me,” which later landed as a bonus track on Tha Carter III, as well as “I’m A Beast.” Welcome To Tha Carter tour is providing a serious case of FOMO to anyone who hasn’t copped tickets yet.

Lil Wayne’s Set List

Along with records like “I’m Me” and “I’m A Beast,” Wayne went through a significant portion of his catalog during the opening night. He performed new records like “Kant Nobody,” “Uproar” and his verse on NLE Choppa’s “Ain’t Gonna Answer,” on top of classic joints like “Hustler Musik,” “BMJR,” and No Ceilings cuts like “Wasted” and “Watch My Shoes.” Unfortunately, he didn’t preview any new music from his forthcoming album, at least, not yet. 

Weezy’s 28-date tour will take him across the majority of America, as well as a single Canadian stop in Toronto. He already faced some setbacks. The rapper’s tour stop in Fargo, ND tonight (April 6th) was postponed until May 21st due to the weather conditions in the city.  Hopefully, he won’t face many other issues on future tour dates. Check out some of the footage from Lil Wayne’s Minneapolis concert on Tuesday night and let us know if you’ll be checking him out on his spring tour.
