Tyler, The Creator has announced a special ‘Chromakopia‘ listening party set to take place in Los Angeles.

The ‘See You Again’ rapper took to his official X/Twitter account to share that there will be a special listening party for his forthcoming album this week. “Los Angeles, I am playing my album in full for you at the Intuit Dome. I will not be performing, I will be standing in the middle of the venue lip syncing to the new sounds,” he wrote.

He went on to share that tickets for the event will be $5 (£3.86) and the event will take place this Sunday (October 27). A pre-sale for American Express cardholders will be available tomorrow (October 25) at 9am local time. General ticket sales will commence tomorrow (October 25) at 10 am local time. Visit here to purchase tickets.

‘CHROMAKOPIA’ marks Tyler, The Creator’s seventh studio album and is set for release on October 28 via Columbia. You can pre-order the LP here. The album marks the ‘See You Again’ rapper’s first new music since his 2021 LP ‘Call Me If You Get Lost‘.

He recently shared the frantic video for his new track ‘NOID’, which marked the second single from his upcoming album, following ‘St. Chroma’ which served as  the teaser for the ‘CHROMAKOPIA’ project. Daniel Caesar had revealed himself as singing the chorus on ‘St. Chroma’, writing on Instagram Stories: “Did some vocals on this, very proud. Can’t wait for you all to hear the whole record.”

The rapper also recently announced an arena world tour in support of ‘CHROMAKOPIA’. Alongside special guests Lil Yachty and Paris Texas, Tyler will play shows across North America, Europe, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.

Tickets are set to go on sale on Friday, November 1 at 10am local time. You can find tickets for US and European dates here, Australia and New Zealand here and the UK here.

In a four-star review of Tyler, The Creator’s 2021 album ‘Call Me If You Get Lost’, NME wrote: “The record stands as an all-encompassing culmination of Tyler’s ever-varying sound, showing that growth isn’t always linear and that artists can be a multitude of things. On ‘Call Me…’, Tyler cements his place as a generational talent, one in fine form and continuing to push the boundaries of his vision and kaleidoscopic sound.”

NME also caught the musician’s headlining set at this year’s edition of Coachella. A four-star review of his set noted that it was a “kind of performance that keeps you guessing. It’s never obvious where the setlist is going to weave next, how the chosen song might be presented, or even who might appear during it.”

Next month, the artist’s music festival Camp Flog Gnaw will celebrate its 10th anniversary, with headliners including Playboi Carti, Erykah Badu, André 3000 and Tyler himself.
