And here’s the official tour flyer, which asks attendees to “come help Mr. Morale get out of the box.”
For tickets, the general on-sale begins May 20 at 12 p.m. local time via the Oklama site. For U.S. dates, the first tickets to the tour will be made available via an exclusive Cash App presale starting one day earlier at 10 a.m. local time.
Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, which arrived on Friday to immediate analysis, provides fans with a uniquely rewarding listening experience that’s divided into two nine-song halves. The album, Kendrick’s fifth, marks his first solo release since DAMN. back in 2017.
Signaling the album's impending arrival this month was the release of a new chapter in the ongoing “The Heart” series. Meanwhile, the video for “The Heart Part 5”—an in-depth breakdown of which can be found here—saw Kendrick utilizing deepfake tech to incorporate the faces of a range of public figures, including Ye and the late Nipsey Hussle.
