Widely known American rapper and singer, Tyler Okonma, who goes by the stage name “Tyler, the Creator,” is going on his seventh world tour starting this February. The tour is supporting his most recent studio album, “Chromakopia.” The album has already broken the record for the largest hip-hop debut streamed in 2024 on streaming services like Spotify. It is also his third number-one album on the Billboard 200 chart. Some fans really enjoyed the album, others thought it was overrated but still an exceptional album.
“I personally thought it was overhyped, but it is good, but not as good as it was put out to be,” sophomore Kelan Larry said. “I feel like some of the songs were really overplayed, but my personal favorite was ‘I Thought I Was Dead.’”
The rapper announced his tour a little while before “Chromakopia” dropped on October 28. On October 23, he announced his tour dates, and later on November 1st, tickets went on sale. Tickets range from $160 to over $1000 as of right now. Many fans rushed to get tickets on various websites, one of the most common websites being TicketMaster.
“Tickets for Tyler, the Creator’s Tour are already live and soaring fast,” Billboard published.
A couple of artists will be supporting him on his tour. American rapper Lil Yachty and hip-hop duo, Paris Texas will be with him for the majority of the tour. All of the featured artists have wide-ranged fan bases and are popular in the music world.
“Next year, he’ll take the LP around the globe with the Chromakopia: The World Tour. Along with special guests Lil Yachty and Paris Texas,” Billboard Published.
The tour will kick off with its first show in St. Paul, Minnesota, on February 4 at the Xcel Energy Center. Tyler, the Creator’s last show will take place in Perth, Western Australia, Australia, at the RAC arena on September 4. Many shows are to take place in California, his home state.
“I’m going to the show in Raleigh, North Carolina, on July 12,” freshman Isabella Petty said.
He hasn’t been on a world tour since 2022, which was for his latest album at the time “Call Me If You Get Lost.” Tyler, the Creator has done mini-concerts and events. Many include “Camp Flog Gnaw,” “30 Minutes of Chromakopia,” and “Coachella.” He has also been featured in various artists’ tours and concerts like Kali Uchis’ “Red Moon In Venues Tour,” during the gap between his last album and the most recent one.
“I’m really excited for this, I’ve been waiting for it and it’s my first time seeing him,” Petty said.
Tyler, the Creator fans love having a good sense of style. Many fans like to wear merch or coordinate their outfits with one of his albums. Some of his most recent famous looks include pieces like sweater vests, Converse Chuck 70s and caps. However, for this tour, fans are planning on having baggier outfits that include jorts, oversized tees and hoodies.
“I’ll probably wear some jorts with a T-shirt or maybe some jeans and Converses,” junior Zoe Craig said.
This tour is one of the most anticipated ones of the year. He has also added more shows to the tour in various areas. As of last year, he has done many public outings debuting his album; dropped singles, events and posted teasers on his social media which riled up fans and got them excited for what’s coming.
“Fans with tickets to “CHROMAKOPIA: The World Tour” should be thrilled to see him, as he’s bringing his most evocative performance to the stage yet,” The Daily Targum published.
