Jack Harlow is headed out on the road in support of his new R&B-leaning album Monica. The Louisville-bred rapper’s Live Nation-promoted North American Monica Tour is slated to kick off on August 4 at the Brooklyn Paramount in Brooklyn, N.Y. and hit Chicago, Detroit, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Toronto, Boston, Washington, D.C., Louisville, Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco before winding down on Sept. 21 at the Fox Theater in Oakland.
Tickets for the shows will go on sale first through a CITI presale slated to open on Thursday (March 26) at 10 a.m. local time, with additional pre-sales running throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale beginning on Friday (March 27) at 10 a.m. local time; sign up for early access to presale tickets and other ticketing information here.
Harlow’s fourth studio album was recorded at New York’s legendary Electric Lady Studios and marks a pivot to a more R&B and jazz-inspired sound, with production from Aksel Arvid (PinkPantheress’s Fancy That), Jermaine Paul (Brandy, Alicia Keys), Clay Harlow, Angel “BabeTruth” Lopez (Mariah Carey, Coldplay, Justin Bieber) and Hollywood Cole (Lil Wayne, Drake, 21 Savage), as well as features from Robert Glasper, Ravyn Lenae, Omar Apollo, and rising R&B singer James Savage.
In a recent interview with The New York Times, Harlow, 28, said he scrapped his planned follow-up to 2023 Jackman album and started over with a more neo-soul-inspired sound harkening back to 1990s R&B. “I was getting to the point where I was dreading going to the studio. And I thought about, ‘what do I actually want to do? What would intrigue me?’,” Harlow told the paper. “It just struck me that I would want to do something a little more egoless. As I’m getting older, I’m having more trouble reconciling being braggadocious on record. And it’s a pillar of rap. Part of the reason I love rap music is the braggadocio of it. But I spent some time thinking, How can I lean away from that?”
The result, he said, was something more sonically softer and melodic, with no braggadocio and an attempt to be less self-indulgent and, shockingly, no rapping. “As long as it was melodic — everything had to have melody is, I guess, the best way to put it. But in shorthand, we were saying no rapping,” he explained.
