"Breaking 8 Years of Silence"... A$AP Rocky, Which Cities Are on the 42-City World Tour?

Hip-hop icon A$AP Rocky, returning with his fourth studio album after 8 years, has unveiled a large-scale tour roadmap connecting 42 cities around the world.

On the 21st (Korean time), A$AP Rocky's team officially announced the full list of cities and schedule for the 'Don't Be Dumb World Tour' through their official channel. This tour will kick off in North America in May and conclude in Europe in September.

◆ North America: From Chicago to New York

The tour will begin in the Midwest of the United States. Rocky will start at the United Center in Chicago on May 27 and will cover the entire North America. Major cities include Los Angeles (LA), Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, Miami, and Toronto in Canada. Notably, on June 7, he will take the stage as a headliner at the large festival 'Governors Ball' in Queens, New York, and will wrap up the North American leg with a performance at the Prudential Center in New Jersey on July 11.

◆ Europe & UK: London, and the Notorious Stockholm

After a short break, he will head to the European continent starting in August. The European tour will kick off at the ING Arena in Brussels, Belgium on August 25. In the UK, he will visit three cities: London, Glasgow, and Manchester to meet fans.

The most eye-catching city is undoubtedly Stockholm, Sweden. It is the place of 'bad blood' where he was arrested on assault charges and detained for a month in 2019, but Rocky boldly included Stockholm in this list of 42 cities, choosing to confront the past. The finale of the European tour will be at the Accor Arena in Paris, France on September 30.
