Playboi Carti Announces Headlining Antagonist Tour Kicking Off This Fall
Genre-defying rapper Playboi Carti has announced his highly anticipated Antagonist Tour kicking off this fall. The tour, promoted by Live Nation, will see Carti headlining arenas across the US. Artist presale starts on Tuesday, August 26th at 10AM local time with the general onsale starting Friday, August 29nd at 10AM local at playboicarti.com. This is Playboi Carti’s first solo headline tour since 2021, where he took several cities by storm in support of his first #1 album on the Billboard 200 chart Whole Lotta Red including sold out shows at The Forum in LA, Barclays Center in Brooklyn, and Red Rocks in Denver.
Earlier this year, Carti secured his second #1 album on the Billboard 200 Chart with his critically acclaimed new album MUSIC which sold over 298,000 album equivalents in its first week – listen here. With over 3 billion streams worldwide to date, MUSIC is the 9th highest rap album charting debut of all time. The album received 139 million first day streams on Spotify, the highest debut of 2025 so far.
Critical acclaim of the album includes Rolling Stone calling it a “rap-reconfiguring album”, with Billboard crowning Carti as “one of the most distinctive voices in rap,” as well as NME naming him an “untouchable force.” All 30 tracks from the album debuted on the Billboard Hot 100, making Carti the first rapper in history to chart 30 or more songs on the chart, joining Taylor Swift and Morgan Wallen as only the third artist in history to ever achieve this incredible feat. Carti delivered a high energy medley performance at this year’s BET Awards, where he was also nominated. He previously performed at The GRAMMY Awards earlier this year with The Weeknd, and they are currently nominated for 3 MTV VMA’s for their collaboration “Timeless.”
Following the success of MUSIC, Playboi Carti will continue to ignite fans across the country with live performances and unique fan experiences on his headlining arena tour this fall. Opening in Salt Lake City, UT on October 3, the tour will stop in major cities across the country including New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Chicago, Boston, his hometown of Atlanta and more – see full routing below.
Support for the tour includes rappers Ken Carson, Destroy Lonely, and Homixide Gang, which will be their first time hitting the road as an Opium Collective. Over the past few years, these artists have garnered a passionate fan base and widespread critical acclaim. Ken Carson’s most recent studio album More Chaos landed him first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, and is the follow up to his now Platinum-certified album A Great Chaos. Destroy Lonely’s breakout success this year includes the release of his highly anticipated debut album, If Looks Could Kill, and in 2024 he returned with LOVE LASTS FOREVER, blending Atlanta-rooted rap with a punk-infused sound. The project debuted at No. 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Top Rap Albums charts and secured a Top 10 spot on the Billboard 200. Homixide Gang, a rap duo from Atlanta, released their highly anticipated debut album, Homixide Lifestyle 2—a 25-track project that pushes rage rap forward, blending Southern hip-hop influences with a darker, more refined edge. Carson, Lonely, and Homixide Gang have also been touring several major festivals including Bonnaroo, Wireless, Rolling Loud and more. The tour will also have support from artist Apollo Red on all dates.
The tour will also offer a variety of different VIP packages and experiences for fans to take their concert experience to the next level. Packages vary but include premium tickets, access to a VIP bar throughout the night, exclusive Playboi Carti VIP only gift item, early entry into the venue & more. VIP package contents vary based on the offer selected. For more information, visit vipnation.com.

Today, indie pop songstress Suki Waterhouse announces her headlining Loveland Tour across North America kicking off July 22nd in Phoenix, AZ. TheLoveland Tour will include stops at some of North America’s most iconic venues including stops at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Forever Cemetery on July 23rd and New York City’s Radio City Music Hall on September 24th, and will feature support from Charlotte Lawrence, Rochelle Jordan, and Love Spells. Tickets go on sale starting with an artist presale on Wednesday, April 29 at 10am local, sign up HERE. Additional presales will run ahead of the general onsale which begins on Friday, May 1st at 10am local HERE.
The Loveland Tour is in support of Suki’s forthcoming album, which she recently announced will be out July 10th via Island Records. Following the album announcement, Suki dropped her new single “Tiny Raisin,” which Billboard included in their best new music of the week list praising, “True to form, Suki Waterhouse takes listeners on a ride,” and Wonderland who commented, “She wails, she vocally sashays, and she sings her heart out on this fuck you, love you anthem.”
Loveland follows Suki’s sophomore album Memoir of a Sparklemuffin – an album that established her as an evocative storyteller, consummate creative, and a powerhouse live performer. The album was released to critical acclaim with Interview Magazine calling it “her most vulnerable body of work yet” to the Los Angeles Times praising how she “sparkles and shines” on the album, and SPIN hailing that it “marks an important milestone, solidifying her as an artist with a presence as enigmatic as it is captivating.”
On stage, Suki is, as NYLON declares, “one of music’s greatest showmen.” She has sold out her own headlining tours, opened for artists like Taylor Swift and Laufey, and graced many festival stages including Coachella and Lollapalooza, the latter of which she will return to this summer.

Shaboozey Announces Sprawling Outlaws Never Die Tour
Today, the GRAMMY®-winning, record-breaking singer-songwriter Shaboozey has announced the Outlaws Never Die Tour. Following its July 31st release, his new concept album The Outlaw Cherie Lee & Other Western Tales will come to life onstage alongside beloved hits as Shaboozey brings his lauded, high-energy show to theaters and arenas throughout America and Canada.
Presales are live on Wednesday, April 29 at 10AM local time, with general onsale launching on Friday, May 1st at 10AM local time. Buy tickets HERE.
After previously announced festival dates throughout the summer, Shaboozey will kick off the Outlaws Never Die Tour with a show in Phoenix in early September. Across the run, Shaboozey will invite an array of special guests and past collaborators echoing the genre-blurring adventurousness and crossover appeal of his music, including Brittney Spencer, Noeline Hofmann, Kashus Culpepper, Carter Faith, and Angel White. BigXThaPlug will also join for two special shows in Canada, while Noah Cyrus will open at Colorado’s hallowed Red Rocks Amphitheatre. The tour concludes with a blowout finale at Los Angeles’ famed Greek Theatre.
Shaboozey has partnered with PLUS1 for the Outlaws Never Die Tour, with $1 from each ticket supporting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
“Music has an extraordinary power to bring people together and inspire change, and we’re incredibly grateful to Shaboozey for using his voice and his tour to support St. Jude through this PLUS1 campaign,” said Lyles Eddins, Senior Vice President of Development for ALSAC, the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. “Generosity like this helps ensure that families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food, so they can focus on helping their child live.”
The Outlaw Cherie Lee & Other Western Tales is a cinematic outlaw revenge story with a tragic love at its center. After watching her sheriff father murdered by the Bootcut Boys, Cherie Lee abandons the badge and hunts the gang down one by one. In the middle of her vengeance, she unexpectedly falls for one of the outlaws. He believes loving her can redeem him; she hopes loving him can quiet her darkness. They’re both wrong. In the final act, Cherie chooses blood over love, killing the man who loves her most and fully becoming what she set out to destroy.
The news of Shaboozey’s latest album arrives to more anticipation than ever, following a whirlwind two years kicked off by 2024’s breakthrough record Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going and a slew of smash hits including the GRAMMY®-nominated “Good News” and the history-making, Diamond-certified “A Bar Song (Tipsy).” Last year, Shaboozey released the expanded edition of Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going, featuring “Amen” with Jelly Roll, which won the GRAMMY® for Best Country Duo/Group Performance. Earlier this month, he received two Academy Of Country Music Award nominations, including New Male Artist Of The Year and Music Event Of The Year for “Amen.” The Outlaws Never Die Tour marks Shaboozey’s return to solo dates after joining Jelly Roll as a special guest in Australia on the Down Under 2025 Tour, as well as criss-crossing America with a string of sold-out shows on his own Great American Roadshow tour last fall.
