J. Cole announced the tour dates on Monday, after releasing his latest studio album, "The Fall-Off," earlier this month.

Artist presale tickets for J. Cole's upcoming world tour for The Fall-Off went on sale on Tuesday, causing pandemonium on social media. In countless posts on X (formerly Twitter), users complained about massive queues on Ticketmaster, with some even sharing screenshots featuring hundreds of thousands of fans ahead of them in line.

Cole’s Manager, Ibrahim Hamad, reacted to the drama in a pair of posts on X (formerly Twitter). "Damn yall got over 1m people in the queues for the east coast and Midwest shows. West coast we gon get to yall soon," he wrote.

From there, he teased having even more dates to add to the tour. "Man yall going crazy for real some new dates already added and some more coming along." Cole had just added additional shows in Atlanta, Philadelphia, Toronto, Brooklyn, Chicago, Boston, Houston, and Dallas.

J. Cole's Tour Dates

J. Cole's tour for The Fall-Off will begin in Charlotte, NC, with him headlining a show at the Spectrum Center on July 11. From there, he'll travel to Miami, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Montreal, Toronto, New York City, Los Angeles, and many more cities, before wrapping up the North American leg with a hometown show in Fayetteville, NC, in September.

After that, Cole will travel abroad, where he has lined up concerts in Berlin, Amsterdam, London, Paris, Stockholm, Melbourne, Sydney, and more cities across the world.

Fan Reactions

Cole dropped The Fall-Off on February 6. He recently revealed that he intends it to be his final studio album. Speaking with fans for an "AMA" on social media, he shared that he wants to focus on producing music for other artists. "I got a genuine love for music, and the blessing in dropping this album is that I'm highly inspired. I have no interest in making more 'J. Cole' albums, but my passion and excitement right now is in producing. I will write, I will record when it hits me. Release new music if the spirit says to do so. But The Fall-Off is a project I won't try to top," he wrote.
