A$AP Rocky has announced Australian and New Zealand tour dates for his Don’t Be Dumb World Tour, marking his first shows in the region in eight years. The run, promoted by Live Nation, kicks off December 5 at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena and includes stops in Sydney, Auckland and Brisbane before closing December 17 at Perth’s RAC Arena. The tour supports his fourth studio album, DON’T BE DUMB.
The announcement follows the European and UK leg of the tour, which the artist’s camp describes as sold out across 25 dates in 19 countries. According to the announcement, the run included the first eight arena shows by a rap artist in Central and Eastern Europe, along with claims of the fastest-selling rap show in Greece and the biggest arena sales for a rap artist in Zagreb, Belgrade and Sofia.
Tickets for the Australia and New Zealand dates go on general sale October 16, with presales for artist, Vodafone and Mastercard members beginning October 14.
