Just days after announcing he's launching his own festival, J. Cole on Tuesday revealed plans for a North American tour.
The massive, 34-date trek in support of his newly released No. 1 album KOD will kick off Aug. 9 in Miami, with stops in Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Denver, Chicago, Detroit, New York, Toronto, Philadelphia and more.
Tickets for the tour go on sale this Saturday (May 12) at 10 a.m. local time, but American Express cardholders will have access to a pre-sale starting today at 10 a.m. local time. Spotify users will also be able to purchase pre-sale tickets on Friday only.
KOD arrived on April 20 and easily debuted at No. 1 on the U.S. charts. At the end of April, Cole announced the launch of his Dreamville Festival, which will be held Sept. 15 in Raleigh, North Carolina.
In addition to Dreamville, J. Cole is headlining a number of other festivals, including Rolling Loud this weekend and Bumbershoot in September.
