Last year, king of the hip hop mountain Kanye West topped year-end lists with the critically acclaimed My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. When he wasn’t hyping his music, he was hyping his lifestyle, name-dropping luxury brands and photos of gold crowns and goblets on Twitter.
Now it seems he’s taking his attention off of Versace sofas and back on his music, which will afford him one of the biggest tours of his career: a six-week stint with Jay-Z, coinciding with the release of the two hip hop heavyweight’s collaboration album Watch The Thrown. The tour will land the two stars at the American Airlines Center on Tuesday, October 25. Tickets for the event can be purchased for at Live Nation at 10 a.m. on Monday, August 8. Ticket prices haven’t yet been determined, but you can bet it’ll be expensive. The gold on that album cover doesn’t look cheap.
In other show announcement news, just last week we heard from Neon Indian, who had just announced it’s sophomore album Era Extraña, which has a September 13 release date. And just after it hits the record store shelves, the band will perform at Granada Theater on Saturday, September 24. Tickets for the show can be purchased for $20 over at the Granada’s ticket website.
Hit the jump to see the rest of this week’s show announcements.
