Fresh off the success of his critically acclaimed sophomore album Gemini Rights, Steve Lacy has announced a North American tour on Tuesday (Aug. 2) in support of the LP.
The trek — titled the Give You the World tour — will see Lacy making a total of 27 stops across North America beginning on Oct. 2 at Denver’s Gothic Theatre, and making stops in Chicago, New York, Toronto, Portland, Seattle and more before concluding on Nov. 11 at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles.
“It’s time…GIVE YOU THE WORLD TOUR,” the two-time Grammy nominee wrote on Instagram, sharing the tour’s official poster, which features a snap of him in oversized sunglasses, a custom Gemini Rights top and bottom grill, and a Dead Kennedys-inspired shirt-and-tie combo.
The tour news comes on the heels of Lacy’s recent Billboard chart successes. Following the July 15 release of Gemini Rights, the album reached No. 7 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart, and went No. 1 on the Top Alternative Albums, Top Rock Albums and Top Rock & Alternative Albums charts, as well as No. 3 Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart. Meanwhile, the album’s second single, “Bad Habit,” has climbed to No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100, earning Lacy his first crossover hit.
Tickets for Lacy’s Give You the World tour go on sale starting Friday, Aug. 5, at 10 a.m. local time, and can be purchased here. See the official tour poster and full list of dates below.
