Chance the Rapper Marks 10 Years of ‘Coloring Book’ With North American Tour

Chance the Rapper will celebrate the 10th anniversary of Coloring Book with a North American tour starting in August.

Chance the Rapper is taking Coloring Book back on the road for its 10th anniversary, with a North American tour set to begin in August and stretch into October.

The run opens after a hometown stop in Chicago, where Chance will perform at the Ravinia Festival on Aug. 8. From there, the Coloring Book 10 Tour starts in Cleveland on Aug. 11 and moves through Toronto, New York, Boston, Nashville, Atlanta, New Orleans, Dallas, Houston, Phoenix, San Francisco, Seattle, Denver, St. Louis and other cities before wrapping in Pittsburgh on Oct. 11.

Pre-sale tickets for the tour go live on May 19 at 10 a.m. local time through pre-sale tickets, with general on-sale beginning May 21. VIP packages are also being offered, including meet-and-greet options and a photo-op with Chance.

Coloring Book first arrived in May 2016, and its afterlife has been unusually durable for a mixtape that was never treated like a conventional label rollout. By the time it won best rap album at the 2017 Grammy Awards, Chance had become the first independent artist to take home a Grammy, a milestone that still sits at the center of his career narrative. The project peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 and included contributions from Ye, formerly Kanye West, Future, Justin Bieber, Kirk Franklin, Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, T-Pain and Saba.

Chance’s most recent release, Star Line, arrived in August and reached No. 22 on the Billboard 200. The new tour gives him a chance to revisit the record that made him one of the defining rap voices of that era, but also to reframe it as part of a longer, more complicated run that has moved from mixtape breakthrough to Grammy history to the present-day album cycle.
