Earlier this month, Noname released her long-awaited new album Sundial. After years of loose singles and a canceled album, she finally revealed the project last month. The album has features from Common, billy woods, $ilkmoney, and controversially, Jay Electronica. When the tracklist was announced many fans took issue with the inclusion of Jay Electronica due to his long-held antisemitic beliefs. Noname bit back at fans who criticized the choice with a series of tweets where she threatened to not release the album. Once fans heard the actual verse they were once again upset with Jay Elec’s inclusion on the project. Despite that, in a recent Instagram post, she claimed that she doesn’t regret including him on the album despite many fans’ disappointment.
Now, Noname is taking the album on tour later this year. In a new Instagram post, she shared the 19 tour dates she will be playing. The dates run for a month from October 15 until November 15. It’s the rapper’s first tour in 4 years since she hit the road to promote her previous album Room 25. Presale tickets for the tour will go on sale tomorrow, August 23 with full general sale taking place this Friday on the 25.
