Joey Bada$$ Announces The Dark Aura Tour With Ab-Soul And Rapsody
Joey Bada$$ has confirmed that he will be hitting the road later this year in support of his upcoming album, Lonely At The Top. The Brooklyn rapper announced the 25-stop tour on Monday, alongside the release of his new single, Dark Aura, which also serves as the name of the tour.
The Dark Aura Tour will begin on October 16 in Boston and continue through major cities including Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston, Atlanta, and Philadelphia. The final show is scheduled for November 20 in Philadelphia. Joey will be joined by fellow respected lyricists Ab-Soul and Rapsody, making the tour a notable moment for hip hop fans across North America.
When Joey posted the tour dates on Instagram, fans quickly shared their reactions. Many expressed excitement about seeing all three artists on the same lineup, while others urged Joey to extend the tour to Europe. For now, all announced dates are limited to North America.
The announcement arrives as Joey prepares to release Lonely At The Top. The project was originally slated to drop on August 1, but was delayed after Joey said Columbia Records held up the release despite the album being completed. Speaking candidly to fans, he explained that the delay was not due to features, samples, or scheduling conflicts but rather label interference.
He has since confirmed that Lonely At The Top will be released on August 29. Tickets for The Dark Aura Tour will go on sale to the general public on August 21, giving fans a chance to secure spots for what promises to be one of the most anticipated hip hop tours of the year.
