Summer 2013 might be quickly coming to an end, but it’s very clearly still Yeezy season. Kanye West just dropped a bomb this morning by announcing his first solo tour in five years. You may recall that Kanye hit the road with Jay Z in 2011/2012 to support Watch The Throne, but opted not to tour after the release of his previous solo album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
The 23-stop Yeezus tour is slated to kickoff on October 19 in Seattle and will reportedly touch down in most major North American markets including Kanye’s hometown of Chicago. Oh, and did we mention the bill will feature Kendrick Lamar? Because yeah, that’s happening. Kendrick will join for 18 of the dates with a special guest to be announced for the other five.
The entire schedule is detailed below. Tickets for most of the dates will go on sale next Friday, September 13. Head over to Kanye’s website for more information.
