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.
