Dominic Fike Is Hyper-Floridian in ‘Ant Pile’ Video, Shares North American Tour Dates
Dominic Fike channels his inner Joker in the music video for “Ant Pile,” the second single from his forthcoming studio album Sunburn, out July 7. Moving slightly too quickly with an edge of unease, the singer takes a stroll down memory lane while recounting a pivotal childhood encounter. In a torn-up shirt that reads “Rescue Squad” beneath gaping holes in the layered fabric, Fike clicks through a PowerPoint filled with clips representing his Florida upbringing.
“First grade/Somebody tied you to an ant/And that wasn’t even the worst day/Back then you knew I always liked you,” he sings, over-enunciating every vowel. “We went to high school/And on the first day/You pushed me up against the brick wall/You pushed me up against the locker/Said let’s get home before your mom does.”

This summer, Fike will have a chance to touchdown in Florida outside of the references he makes to his home state in his music videos. Alongside the Reed Bennett-directed video, the singer has shared a run of North American tour dates scheduled for the week after Sunburn arrives.
The Don’t Stare at the Sun tour will begin on July 13 in Indianapolis and wrap on Aug. 30 in Louisville. Fike will stop in New York, Atlanta, Miami, Dallas, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Vancouver, Detroit, Toronto, and more. General sale for the tour begins June 2 at 10 a.m. local time via the official Dominic Fike website.
