Tickets On Sale Starting Friday, June 18 at 10am Local Time at Trippie Redd’s website.
Multi-platinum selling recording artist Trippie Redd announces his upcoming headlining North American tour, Tripp At Knight, produced by Live Nation and presented by Rolling Loud. Joined by fellow 10K Projects artist iann dior, and fast rising Atlanta artist SoFayGo, Trippie’s 25 stop tour will kick off on August 25 at The Armory in Minneapolis, MN and wrap up on October 6 at the Performance Venue at Hollywood Park in Los Angeles. Tickets go on sale this Friday 6/18 at 10am local time at Trippie’s website.
Despite the odds, 2021 has been one of Trippie’s biggest years to date. His latest single Miss The Rage with Playboi Carti debuted at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (the highest chart debut for either artist) and its music video surpassed 1M views in four hours. He also kicked off the year with his first-ever rock album NEON SHARK, produced by close friend and collaborator Travis Barker. NEON SHARK features appearances by Machine Gun Kelly, Chino Moreno (Deftones), blackbear and more, and acts as the deluxe edition of Trippie’s October 2020 album, Pegasus, which debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 chart.
Following his biggest year to date, multi-platinum selling rapper and singer iann dior will be opening for Trippie Redd on the tour. With a Billboard #1 for his feature on Mood with 24KGoldn, which spent 10 weeks inside the Top 10 and is 4x Platinum, four RIAA-certified gold singles, and collaborations with everyone from Travis Barker to Lil Baby, iann dior is a genre-agnostic force to be reckoned with in pop music today. The tour arrives shortly after the April release of iann and Trippie’s second single together, shots in the dark, a sequel to their 2019 collab, gone girl, a favorite among fans.
ABOUT TRIPPIE REDD
One of the most versatile and creatively daring artists in hip-hop today, Trippie Redd makes music that’s both wildly experimental and massively appealing. Since delivering his debut mixtape A Love Letter to You in 2017, the multi-platinum-selling, chart-topping rapper, singer and songwriter has continually defied genre boundaries, embedding his melodic take on rap with frenetic elements of rock-and-roll and heavy metal. And with his penetrating lyrics and nuanced but hard-hitting vocal performance, the 21-year-old Ohio native matches that endless ingenuity with a powerfully raw emotional impact.
A self-professed workaholic who’s now debuted five consecutive projects in the top 5 of the Billboard 200 chart —Trippie got his start as a teenager living in a basement with roaches recording music, as he tells it. Born Michael Lamar White IV and raised in Canton, Ohio, he grew up on hip-hop icons like Tupac Shakur, Nas, and Jay-Z, but later became fascinated with the shock-rock of Slipknot and Rob Zombie. As he recalls, the urge to create his own music arose soon after his older brother (an aspiring rapper who went by the name Dirty Redd) died in a car accident when Trippie was 10. (I took his dream and did it myself, Trippie says now.) Drawing much of his inspiration from the free-flowing style and inventive lyricism of Lil Wayne, Trippie began recording in his cousin’s basement and later relocated to Atlanta to further hone his skills, quickly landing a record deal with 10K Projects.
Though 2020 brought its fair share of adjustments, Trippie used his time in quarantine to make some of his boldest career moves yet, including making his acting debut during an episode of Lil Dicky’s critically acclaimed DAVE and headlining Rolling Loud’s Loud Stream. Trippie also dropped his highly anticipated album, Pegasus, on Halloween. The mythical LP, which debuted at #2, included the intoxicating Excitement featuring PARTYNEXTDOOR and highlighted Trippie bridging the generational gap with the legendary Busta Rhymes on I Got You. The deluxe version of Pegasus comes in the form of NEON SHARK: Presented By Travis Barker, released in February.
