Kanye West has finally announced the news fans across the world have been waiting for: a mammoth headliner tour. Titled the Saint Pablo Tour, the dates currently take place from late August until the end of October, and while the dates currently only include North America and Canada, we can pray that the Saint will visit Australia (and the rest of the world) shortly after.
West is known, among other things, for his incredible, theatrical live performances and stage productions. He last visited Australia in 2014 on the Yeezus Tour, having originally announced dates for May 2014, before postponing the tour until September of that year. Fingers crossed he’ll visit for a summer tour in the months following.
Who knows, he may even bring Chance the Rapper as support, considering Chance recently revealed that an Australian tour was also on the cards.
Kanye West released The Life of Pablo earlier this year, and fans are no doubt looking forward to being the first to see the album performed live in a non-festival headline setting.
Tickets go on sale Saturday, June 18 at the Live Nation website.
