Kanye West has announced a two-month tour of North America in support of his latest album The Life of Pablo.
After a somewhat challenging release period in which experts estimate that West lost millions in sales due to the botched rollout, The Life of Pablo went to garner largely positive reviews. Nonetheless, West has had few opportunities to perform the album live since its release earlier this year, but the tour is set to correct the record.
American Express users will have access to an exclusive presale beginning at 10 a.m. today and TIDAL users will gain entry at 10 a.m. Thursday. The general public will finally be able to purchase tickets to the shows that begin in Indianapolis on Saturday, June 18 on livenation.com.
Tickets will undoubtedly go quickly, as they have for his select few shows since returning from the Yeezus tour nearly three years ago. The ticket bots will likely rev into gear, and Tidal may even experience another surge of subscribers. Many have called The Life of Pablo a masterpiece, and now West is taking it live.
