Cole will make additional stops in San Antonio, Oklahoma City, New Orleans, Tampa, Nashville, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Columbus, Cleveland, Buffalo, Lexington, and more. J.

General sale for the 2024 It’s All a Blur – Big as the What? tour will begin on Friday, Nov. 17, at 11 a.m. local time. A number of shows, including stops in Denver, New Orleans, Nashville, and Columbus, are dates that have been rescheduled from the initial 2023 tour.

The newly announced dates mark an extension of the 50-date It’s All a Blur tour Drake completed this summer with 21 Savage. During the Montreal stop in July, J. Cole joined Drake on stage in place of 21 Savage. And before the run of shows kicked off earlier this year, Drake served as a special guest at the 2023 iteration of J. Cole’s Dreamville Festival in April.

Last month, following the release of Drake’s eighth studio album, For All the Dogs, the pair of rappers debuted at Number One on the Billboard Hot 100 with their collaboration “First Person Shooter.” The record, which has its lyrics referenced in the new name of the tour, marked J. Cole’s first Number One and Drake’s 13th, tying Michale Jackson’s Hot 100 record.
