The massive 47-show trek will cross through North America, Canada, Europe and the U.K. Beginning July 12 at Schottenstein Center in Columbus, Ohio, NF’s North American leg will feature special guest Cordae as the two rappers will coast through the U.S. while making stops in cities including Boston, Philadelphia and Anaheim, Calif. After completing the U.S. and Canadian portion of their tour, NF will embark on his 16-date European leg, beginning Sept. 23 at the Fabrique in Milan.

NF’s last body of work came in 2021 with Clouds (The Mixtape). The 11-track effort debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and included its Hot 100 hit “Clouds.” Before that, he netted two No. 1 Billboard 200 albums, including 2017’s Perception and 2019’s The Search. As for his upcoming effort, NF previously released several singles, including “HAPPY” and “MOTTO.” The project will also have features from Julia Michaels (“GONE”) and Cordae (“CAREFUL”).
