A$AP Rocky has revealed dates for his 'Don't Be Dumb' world tour, supporting his first album in eight years. The trek begins in May in Chicago and spans North America and Europe, including three UK shows. Tickets go on presale this week ahead of general sale on January 27.

A$AP Rocky announced his 'Don't Be Dumb' world tour on January 20, 2026, shortly after releasing the album of the same name on January 16. The rapper's first full-length project in eight years introduces six alter egos—GR1M, Mr. Mayers, Rugahand, Babushka Boi, Dummy, and Shirthead—which will join him onstage throughout the 43-date run.

The North American leg kicks off on May 27 at Chicago's United Center, hitting major cities like Toronto, New York (headlining Governors Ball on June 7), Los Angeles, and Vancouver before wrapping in Newark on July 11. Rocky then heads to Europe starting August 25 in Brussels, with stops in Amsterdam, three UK venues—London's O2 Arena on August 30, Glasgow's OVO Hydro on September 4, and Manchester's Co-op Live on September 5—plus Dublin, before concluding in Paris on September 30.

These mark Rocky's first UK performances since 2022 shows at London Stadium and Manchester's Old Trafford, as well as headlining Wireless Festival. He pulled out of the 2019 edition following his arrest and detention in Sweden, which led to canceling the rest of that European tour.

Presale for UK and European tickets starts January 21 at 9 a.m., with North American presale on January 23 via Rocky's website. General sale begins January 27 at 9 a.m. local time. The announcement follows Rocky's recent Saturday Night Live appearance, where he debuted tracks like 'Punk Rocky'—with a video featuring Winona Ryder, Danny Elfman, Thundercat, and A$AP Nast—and a medley of 'Helicopter' and the title track.

NME awarded the album four stars, calling it a 'suited, settled and self-assured return that doesn’t dim his light.' Rolling Stone praised its 'adventurous streak,' noting cameos from Damon Albarn and Danny Elfman.
