Rod Wave Plots ‘Don’t Look Down’ Arena Tour for Fall

Rod Wave will mount his largest headlining run later this year, announcing a fall arena tour behind his upcoming seventh album. The Don’t Look Down Tour kicks off September 12 at Philadelphia’s Xfinity Mobile Arena and ends November 18 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, hitting more than two dozen cities in between. New Orleans, Dallas, Phoenix, San Francisco, Nashville, and Detroit are among the stops, with Fridayy booked as special guest for the entire route.

Artist pre-sale opens Tuesday, June 23 at 10 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster; general on-sale follows June 26 at 1 p.m. local time. VIP and platinum ticket packages will be available. The tour shares its name with Rod Wave’s new album, Don’t Look Down, due August 28 on Alamo Records. It follows 2024’s Last Lap, which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. Booking a full arena tour off the back of an unreleased record signals the audience Rod Wave has cemented by merging rap’s blunt force with raw, melodic vulnerability—a lane he’s held steady in for years without much outside noise.
