NF — who last played Milwaukee in 2018 at Summerfest and the Rave — is coming back to town for his first Milwaukee show in six years, and his biggest one yet.

The rapper born Nate Feuerstein will headline Fiserv Forum May 8 as part of the second leg of his "Hope" tour, named after his sixth studio album.

Standing out among fellow Christian rappers with an angstier, at times pop-radio-friendly sound — fellow Michigan native Eminem is a clear influence — NF's 2017 album "Perception" and 2019 album "The Search" both debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. (The latter was an upset, besting Chance The Rapper's heavily-hyped album "The Big Day" released on the same day.) "Hope" debuted at No. 2 on the charts in April.

Registration to request access codes for presale tickets is available now at nfrealmusic.com through Sunday. Codes will be randomly distributed, with presale access tickets available on Sept. 27 through ticketmaster.com. Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Sept. 29. Prices have yet to be announced.
