Kanye West is hitting the road in support of his latest album – ‘The Life Of Pablo.’

Released in January exclusively on TIDAL, the project has had a wildly unorthodox roll-out.

Still not available to buy – physically or as a download, it’s only been made available to stream. First, as mentioned, on TIDAL and on other platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music three months later. The latter practice helping it score a brief stint at #1 based on streaming all.

It’s birthed all sorts of questions as to how the elaborate rapper plans to recoup spend for the 20-track set, which has yet to spawn a hit or resonate critically as perhaps intended.

The answer, so it seems, has manifested in the form of ‘The Saint Pablo Tour’ – an arena trek which blends the names of the album and West’s newborn son with wife Kim Kardashian – Saint West.

Set to kick off in August, tickets go on sale June 17th (with a pre-sale for American Express users set for June 14th).

Dates for the US and Canada leg await below…
