Childish Gambino is postponing the remaining North American dates of his New World Tour. “hey everyone. unfortunately i have to postpone the rest of the north american tour to focus on my physical health for a few weeks,” the rapper wrote on X today. “hold onto your tickets. ALL tickets will be honored for the upcoming dates in north america when they are rescheduled. thanks for the privacy. thanks for the support. thanks for the love.”
Childish Gambino began his tour, in Oklahoma City, on August 11. About two weeks into the tour, he had to cancel a show in Connecticut “due to production issues,” and he had to call off a show in Houston last night “due to illness.” Including the postponed Texas concert, 16 performances are affected by the musician’s apparent health issues.
Donald Glover announced the New World Tour in May, ahead of the release of his “final” Childish Gambino album, Bando Stone and the New World. He was supported on the North American leg of the tour by Willow.
Glover had planned to begin his European shows, with support from Amaarae, on October 31. Pitchfork has reached out to the artist’s representatives for information on the upcoming shows.
