Donald Glover announced this morning that he’s going on tour as his hip-hop alter-ego Childish Gambino for nearly the entire month of September. The 13-city tour starts at Duluth’s Infinite Energy Arena on September 6 and then moves to several major US and Canadian cities, including Chicago, Philadelphia, New York, Toronto, Seattle, and Oakland, with the final show in Vancouver on September 30. Glover’s latest album, Awaken My Love, was released in December 2016—more than a year ago—but we can’t exactly fault him for being busy. In the time since the album’s release, he’s produced the second season of Atlanta, played Lando Calrissian in the upcoming Solo film, and don’t forget, he’s also playing Simba in Disney’s upcoming Lion King reboot. Southern hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd is the tour’s special guest.

Pre-sales start March 6 at 10 a.m., and general tickets go on sale Friday.
