Rapper J. Cole has revealed plans for a global tour supporting his seventh studio album, The Fall-Off. The extensive run will visit over 50 cities across North America, Europe, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, marking his first solo headline tour in five years. The tour begins in July and concludes in December.
J. Cole announced his 2026 The Fall-Off Tour on February 16, promoting his latest album, The Fall-Off, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The album, released earlier in February via Cole World, Inc. under exclusive license to Interscope Records, marks his seventh consecutive chart-topping project, following The Off-Season (2021), KOD (2018), 4 Your Eyez Only (2016), 2014 Forest Hills Drive (2014), Born Sinner (2013), and Cole World: The Sideline Story (2011). It opened with 280,000 equivalent units in the United States, the largest week for any hip-hop or R&B album in nearly a year, and generated 35.02 million Spotify streams in its first full day, with 11 tracks on the Global chart, led by "Two Six".
The tour, J. Cole's first solo headline outing since the 2021 The Off-Season Tour and his first full global trek since the 2017 4 Your Eyez Only World Tour, spans more than 50 dates in 15 countries. It launches on July 11 at Charlotte, North Carolina's Spectrum Center and wraps on December 12 at Johannesburg, South Africa's FNB Stadium, his first show there in a decade.
North American stops include major arenas in Miami, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Montreal, Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles, and a return to his hometown of Fayetteville, North Carolina, on September 23. The European leg features two nights at London's The O2 on October 19 and 20, plus shows in Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris, and others. Australia and New Zealand dates are November 25 in Brisbane, November 28 in Melbourne, December 1 in Sydney, and December 5 in Auckland.
Tickets for North American dates go on presale February 17, with general sale February 20 at thefalloff.com. International presales begin February 18 at 9 a.m. local time, varying by region, including special access for Mastercard holders in select countries and Vodafone customers in Australia. VIP packages, including early entry and exclusive merchandise, will be available.
Ahead of the album, J. Cole surprise-released the EP Birthday Blizzard ’26 on his 41st birthday, January 28, as a pay-what-you-want download, featuring a nod to his brief involvement in the Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake beef.
