Donald Glover, also known as Childish Gambino, has just announced a global tour that’s shaping up to be a real spectacle. Dubbed “The New World Tour,” this trip will hit spots in North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand starting this August.

which features fresh tracks and a cinematic music video for the song “Little Foot Big Foot,” directed by the renowned Hiro Murai and featuring Young Nudy.
Glover is famous for his intense and immersive performances. Along with songs from the “Atavista” album, we’ll definitely get to experience live some career-defining tracks like the iconic “This Is America”. The Vancouver show promises to be a night full of surprises, and maybe even some special guest appearances.
Glover hinted that this tour might be one of his last gigs under the Childish Gambino alias, as he plans to close this chapter with a final album that will also serve as a soundtrack for his movie “Bando Storm and the New World”. The tour kicks off in August and will travel through many cities worldwide, including several up north. Here are the key dates for those wanting to catch him in our area:
September 23: Vancouver, BC – Rogers Arena
September 24: Portland, OR – Moda Center
September 25: Seattle, WA – Climate Pledge Arena
September 29: Calgary, AB – Scotiabank Saddledome
September 30: Edmonton, AB – Rogers Place
So, are you ready? “The New World Tour” will land here on September 23 at Rogers Arena. If I were you, I’d mark that date on the calendar! It’s a unique chance to see Donald Glover in action, especially considering it might be one of the last opportunities to catch a live show from the Gambino project.
I can say that the “Atavista” album has really delivered, featuring stellar collaborations with Ariana Grande and Summer Walker, among others. The new album version includes two additional tracks that were quietly released during the early days of the pandemic – a move that left many fans eager for more. And now, with the tour, Glover is truly delivering the full package.
The tour is produced by AEG and features opening acts from Willow in North America and Amaarae in Europe. Tickets will be available starting May 17, with pre-sales for American Express members and sign-ups for early access also available. It’s a must-not-miss opportunity to witness Glover’s creative brilliance and say a big goodbye to Childish Gambino.
