Childish Gambino has announced his first world tour in five years, and the hip-hop rapper is coming to the UK and Ireland at the end of this year. Here’s how to secure tickets today.
Yesterday (Monday 13th May), Childish Gambino (real name Donald Glover) released Atavista, a ‘complete’ version of his fourth studio album 3.15.20, alongside a music video for his new track Little Foot Big Foot. If that wasn’t enough, Childish Gambino also revealed the cities he’ll be visiting as part of his New World tour, which includes shows in the UK.

Back in the early 2000s, Childish Gambino released a number of low-key mixtapes such as 2008’s Sick Boy, and embarked on the IAMDONALD tour before his debut album, Camp, was released to the world.
A couple of years later, the California-born rapper released Because The Internet, an album which included huge collaborations with artists like Chance The Rapper and Azealia Banks, and produced hits such as 3005 and The Worst Guys. Because The Internet earned Childish Gambino his first Grammy nominations for Best Rap Album and Best Rap Performance for 3005.
In 2016, Childish Gambino released Awaken, My Love, which included the song that was stuck in everyone’s head and the tune that was on everyone’s lips, Redbone. Redbone also won the 40-year-old his first Grammy award for the Best Traditional R&B Performance.
With a string of hits such as Me and Your Mama and This is America under his belt, Childish Gambino’s New World tour is sure to be a fantastic experience for fans. Let’s find out how you can secure pre-sale tickets today.
