Playboi Carti will bring his Antagonist Tour to Desert Diamond Arena on Saturday, Sept. 23.

This is Carti’s first headline tour since 2021, when he took several cities by storm in support of “Whole Lotta Red,” which became his first release to top the Billboard album chart in 2020.

That tour included a date at Mesa Amphitheatre on Nov. 5, 2021.

Since then, the hip-hop star has headlined major music festivals including Rolling Loud California in Los Angeles, Lyrical Lemonade Summer Smash in Chicago and Wireless Festival in London.

The Antagonist Tour will launch in Denver on Sept. 6.

By the time he gets to Phoenix, Carti will have dropped his much-anticipated follow-up to “Whole Lotta Red.”
