A$AP Rocky and Tyler, The Creator have joined up for a short tour during the Fall, with Danny Brown and Vince Staples serving as openers. It will be known, simply enough, as the "Rocky & Tyler" tour.
It's a curious lineup, but one that will definitely speak to fans of alternative hip-hop. Rocky has certainly produced a few hits but it would also be accurate to say that he, like the rest of this lineup, has a tendency to show some quirk. The poster for the tour features the two headliners eating breakfast, with one of the photographs showing Rocky with a mouth full of orange juice, while Tyler has made himself a mask out of a pancake.
It's somewhat surprising to note that A$AP and Tyler have never teamed up before, even for a track, considering their mutual appreciation for each other's work. Both worked with Schoolboy Q and Lil Wayne on their 2015 respective releases, but it may have just been too much to grab either of those characters for an extended tour. Oh well. This is still arguably the best hip-hop tour of the year.
Tickets are scheduled to go on sale on Friday at 10 A.M. local time. Check out the list of dates below—there are only nine as of publication, but perhaps a few extra will pop up soon—and get seats fast.
UPDATE: The website designed for the tour, rockyandtyler.com, suggests that indeed, "more dates coming soon."
