American rapper Childish Gambino (real name Donald Glover), 40, has revealed his big world tour dates, taking him to cities in the UK, Australia, Europe, and North America in 2024 and 2025.
American singer-songwriters Willow and Amaarae will accompany Gambino on several dates.
This is his first tour since 2019 and follows the release of his album Atavista, which he describes as "the finished version" of his 2020 record.
Before removing it from the internet, Glover published an incomplete studio album in March 2020 under the name Donald Glover Presents. A week later, it was back on streaming sites with the new name 3.15.20.
He published the album in that manner because it was incomplete and he wanted it to exist in case the world ended, according to a chat he shared on his Gilga Instagram page last month.
“The project I put out, ‘3.15.20’ that no one’s ever heard of, people didn’t even know I put it out, it was originally titled ‘Atavista,’ it was supposed to be ‘Atavista,” he said.
“But we put it out quickly, I didn’t master or mix it, I just kind of put it out. I was going through a lot, n—s thought everybody was going to die because it was the pandemic. We put it out, we finished it, it’s ‘Atavista,’ we’re putting that out. But then after that, there’s a Childish Gambino album, the final Childish Gambino album.”
Glover is an actor, writer, comedian, producer, and musician. He gained prominence as a writer for the NBC comedy series 30 Rock and for his role as Troy Barnes on the NBC sitcom Community.
Childish Gambino is known for his versatile musical style, blending hip-hop, R&B, funk, and soul elements. He has released several albums, including Camp, Because the Internet, Awaken, My Love!, and 3.15.20.
