Chance the Rapper Plots North American Tour


Chance the Rapper will promote his recently issued debut LP, The Big Day, on a massive North American tour this fall. The 35-date trek launches Saturday September 14th in San Francisco, California and wraps November 10th at the Miami Beach Pop Fest alongside Daddy Yankee and the Raconteurs.

Tickets go on sale to the general public Friday, August 2nd at 10 a.m. local time via the rappers website. A Citi card pre-sale runs Monday, July 29th at 1 p.m. ET through Thursday, August 1st at 10 p.m. local time.

While The Big Day marks Chance the Rappers first full-length album, its far from his debut studio project. The all-star record which features contributions from John Legend, Ben Gibbard, Bon Ivers Justin Vernon, Shawn Mendes, Randy Newman and Nicki Minaj, among others follows a handful of acclaimed mixtapes, including 2016s Grammy-winning Coloring Book.

In a mid-July Tonight Show spot, Chance revealed that he served as a nostalgia consultant at the request of the films co-star Donald Glover on the new Lion King remake.

He contacted me while they were working on it and was like Hey, I told Jon Favreau, the director, that you were a huge fan and he wants you to come in as a nostalgia consultant to tell him what Nineties kids like aboutThe Lion King,' Chance told Jimmy Fallon. So thats what I did. He added, It did get me another gig. I did a little bit of slight vocal work on the animated film. You wont know its me. Its very weird. I do, like, a lot of the background noises. In very small parts, like if you see an antelope grazing or something.
