Produced by Live Nation, the 30-city North American tour with two headline festival appearances officially kicks off Friday, May 8 with a headline performance at Rolling Loud Orlando, followed by stops in major markets including Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta, Houston, Chicago and Toronto.

OCTANE is an immersive, cinematic body of work rooted in Don Toliver’s signature melodic, experimental trap-R&B culminating into big moments on tracks like”Body” which has already reached Spotify and Apple Music’s Top 5. Executive-produced by Toliver, with production from longtime collaborator Derek “206DEREK” Anderson, the album captures his creative energy in real time and marks a personal milestone, with Toliver producing three tracks himself: “ATM,” “Rendezvous,” and “Call Back.”
Alongside the tour announcement, Toliver continues to expand the world of OCTANE with the release of the official music video for “Rendezvous” featuring Yeat. Directed by ADM and produced by Cole Bennett, the video underscores the album’s momentum, spotlighting Toliver and Yeat’s chemistry through themes of speed, late-night escapism, and a diamond-driven motif.
The OCTANE visual rollout also includes the “Excavator” music video, directed by Shadrinsky and filmed at the historic Mount Wilson Observatory, as well as Live From OCTANE Mountain, a multi-hour live-streamed listening experience filmed at Mount Wilson that aired January 29, following an earlier in-person event at the Porsche Experience Center Los Angeles.
Recorded across Toliver’s European tour and sessions in Carmel-by-the-Sea, Los Angeles, and Mount Wilson, OCTANE draws inspiration from his lifelong love of cars and rally racing culture, with themes of motion, independence, and velocity driving both the album and its visuals.
The release builds on a historic run for Toliver, who has delivered certified platinum singles “No Pole” and “Private Landing” featuring Justin Bieber, along with multi-platinum hits including “No Idea,” “After Party,” “Lemonade,” and “Bandit.” His previous album, HARDSTONE PSYCHO (2024), earned his first No. 1 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
With OCTANE and its upcoming arena tour, Don Toliver continues to cement his place as one of modern Hip-Hop and R&B’s most forward-thinking artists.

Young Miko Announces the ‘Late Checkout Tour’
GRAMMY®-nominated global artist Young Miko announces her “Late Checkout Tour.” The 31-date tour will span 11 countries, marking her most ambitious tour to date, the first time Young Miko will embark on an arena tour, and aligning with the defining moment she is experiencing in her career. Promoted by Live Nation, the tour kicks off July 3 at Roskilde Festival in Denmark, launching a European festival run before she heads to Mexico for a major stretch in September. From there, she will close out the year across key U.S. markets including Miami, Atlanta, Houston, Orlando, New York, and Los Angeles, marking her most expansive international routing to date. See full routing and ticketing information below.
The announcement arrives at a time when Young Miko has firmly established herself at the forefront of global music. Her sophomore album “Do Not Disturb” debuted at No. 3 on Spotify’s Top Albums Debut USA and No. 4 globally, while also landing on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums chart. Standout track “WASSUP” achieved global viral success and earned a spot on prestigious year-end lists, including Rolling Stone’s 100 Best Songs of 2025, while “Likey Likey” continues to resonate with audiences worldwide. That growing cultural impact was further recognized at the 37th Annual GLAAD Media Awards, where she was honored with Outstanding Music Artist.
Fans first got a taste of Young Miko’s arena presence last year when she joined Billie Eilish’s HIT ME HARD AND SOFT TOUR as an opening act for eight select dates in key markets including Orlando, Philadelphia, and New York. Shortly after, she made her arena headlining debut in her native Puerto Rico, announcing her first-ever headline show at the iconic Coliseo de Puerto Rico. The show sold out in just 90 minutes, leading to a second date being added, with both nights selling out. Beyond music, she has expanded her cultural impact in meaningful ways, most recently partnering with GAP for the brand’s “Sweats Like This” campaign. As the face of its first-ever Spanish-language campaign and the first openly queer Latina to star in a GAP campaign. With each milestone, Young Miko continues to shape the sound, style, and direction of a new generation, solidifying her role as one of the most influential voices in global music today.
