West didn’t elaborate further on what his upcoming tour production will entail or when it might start. In late February, a source close to the rapper told Billboard that tour dates could arrive in March, although that didn’t happen.

Earlier this year ‘Ye hosted a ticketed event at New York’s Madison Square Garden for a simultaneous Yeezy Season 3 fashion show and TLOP listening, attended by approximately 20,000 people.
TLOP outing would mark his first tour since 2013’s Yeezus trek, where Compton rapper Kendrick Lamar was a supporting act.
West is also a headliner at this year’s Governors Ball Music Festival at Randall’s Island Park in New York on June 3-5, his only festival appearance in the U.S. this summer.
