Vince Staples Announces 2026 North American Tour to Promote New Album "Cry Baby"
Vince Staples is back on the road, turning the heat of his latest album into a 16‑date fall tour that will light up the United States and even cross the border into Canada. The run kicks off on October 19 at the Tabernacle in Atlanta, Georgia, and winds down on November 15 at The Warfield in San Francisco, California. A lone stop in Toronto’s Queen Elizabeth Theatre on November 4 will be the only performance north of the border.
The tour is a direct promotion of Staples’ seventh studio album, "Cry Baby," which dropped on June 5, 2026 through Loma Vista Recordings. The record marks the rapper’s first independent release after parting ways with Def Jam following his 2024 album "Dark Times." With ten tracks that blend rap with rock‑influenced production, the album tackles themes of oppression and media manipulation.
After Atlanta, the itinerary takes Staples to Houston’s Bayou Music Center on October 21, Austin’s Stubb’s Waller Creek Amphitheatre on October 22, and Dallas’s South Side Ballroom on October 23. The tour then moves to Raleigh’s The Ritz (October 25), Brooklyn Steel in Brooklyn (October 27), The Filmore Silver Spring in Silver Spring, Maryland (October 29), and Franklin Music Hall in Philadelphia (October 30). Following the Canadian stop, the schedule returns to the United States for Pittsburgh’s Roxian Theater (November 6), Chicago’s Riviera Theater (November 8), Denver’s Filmore Auditorium (November 11), Phoenix’s Van Buren (November 13), and the final show at The Warfield in San Francisco (November 15).
Staples’ career has spanned more than a decade of critically acclaimed releases, beginning with his debut EP "Hell Can Wait" in 2014 and continuing through "Summertime '06," "Big Fish Theory," "FM!," the self‑titled "Vince Staples," and "Ramona Park Broke My Heart." In 2024 he created and starred in the Netflix series "The Vince Staples Show," which ran for two seasons before being canceled in January 2026. The "Cry Baby" tour follows the album’s release and represents a new chapter for the artist as an independent musician.
Tickets will be available through the official tour website and major ticketing partners. Presale access, which begins June 17 at 10 a.m. local time, is limited to fans who have registered with the artist’s mailing list or who hold a valid credit card from a participating partner. The general sale opens June 19 on the same platforms. Concert Central, a ticketing aggregator, has announced it will provide additional Canadian tour information and will list the Toronto show in its upcoming schedule.
In summary, Vince Staples has set a clear schedule for a fall tour that supports his latest album, "Cry Baby." The tour will cover a wide range of venues across the United States and include a single Canadian date. Tickets go on sale in mid‑June, and the tour will begin in Atlanta and conclude in San Francisco, with a stop in Toronto in between.
