Childish Gambino unveils The New World Tour dates after 5-year hiatus

The multi-talented Childish Gambino (aka Donald Glover) is making his return to music with an album release and a 2024 New World Tour.

After a five-year hiatus from touring, the enigmatic musical force known as Childish Gambino has announced his The New World Tour. The tour will span North America, Europe, and Australasia, marking his first extensive trek since 2019. Joining him on select dates are rising stars Amaarae and Willow, promising a dynamic and diverse lineup for fans worldwide.

Donald Glover’s return to the spotlight comes hot on the heels of his latest musical offering, Atavista. Released this week, the album represents a refined version of his 2020 record, ‘3.15.20’. His tour announcement coincides with the reemergence of Glover’s musical alter ego, signaling a reinvigorated phase of his career. Childish Gambino’s tour will have stops in major cities like Washington D.C., New York, and Chicago. On the international front, he will hit dozens of cities including Amsterdam, London, and Berlin.

The last time Childish Gambino graced the stage, he was riding high on the success of the internet-shattering single “This Is America”.  His EP Summer Pack also garnered critical acclaim, following the monumental success of his 2016 album ‘Awaken, My Love!’. Since then, Glover has kept busy, primarily in the realm of film and television.

Notably, Glover concluded his lauded series Atlanta and also starred in Community.  Separately, he has also delved into pop culture analysis with the limited series Swarm.  Furthermore, Glover embarked on a venture to revamp Mr. & Mrs. Smith alongside Maya Erskine.

Musically, Glover’s journey took an unexpected turn in March 2020 when he dropped his unfinished album on his website. With the release of ‘Atavista’, fans can now witness the evolution of Glover’s sound as he prepares for his tour. Ultimately, The New World Tour promises to be a triumphant return for Childish Gambino as one of music’s most innovative performers. Pre-sale tickets for this highly anticipated show are now available on Ticketmaster, with a general release to come soon after.  Make sure to get them while you can before prices skyrocket!

Having grown up just an earshot from Ultra Miami's venue Bayfront Park, it was next to impossible for me not to fall in love with electronic music. My love for music was evidently strong enough for me to write my college essay on festival culture and continue attending Ultra for 10+ years now. I have always had a knack for writing and the power of words, which I continued cultivating through a Philosophy degree in college. Now a law school graduate, I eventually hope to merge my passions by working in music law. I am an avid traveler and am certainly not afraid to hop on a plane for a music event. My next bucket list festivals to attend are Tomorrowland in Belgium and Sonus in Croatia. Though the list could go on forever, some of my favorite artists include Franky Wah, Mochakk, Kevin de Vries, and Eli Brown.
