For the first time in three long years, one of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people, Kanye West, will embark on a vast North American tour. Today, West announced details for The Saint Pablo Tour stating that it will kick off on August 25 at Banker’s Life Arena in Indianapolis, IN. The artist will be making stops in over 40 cities including Los Angeles, Miami, New York City, Detroit, and Toronto.
The tour will include songs from West’s seventh studio album, The Life of Pablo. Some popular tracks from the album include “I Love Kanye”, “Feedback”, and “Ultralight Beam”.
West’s previous tour, the Yeezus Tour, received raving reviews and praise from various critics. This tour had the second highest grossing leg of a tour during 2013, falling just behind Paul McCartney’s Out There! tour.
Back in May, West speculated on the Steve Harvey show that his tour might begin in September, stating ““So we gone go out in September, I believe, and we’re just working on some of the ideas right now.” However, fans will be stoked to learn the tour begins just a few short days earlier in August.

Update: After cutting his Meadows performance short when Kim Kardashian was held at gunpoint in a Paris hotel, Kanye West postponed 2 dates on his tour. Live Nation made a statement via Rolling Stone: “Due to a family emergency, Kanye West was forced to end his performance towards the end of his set,” organizers for The Meadows said in a statement. “We appreciate the great show he put on for fans to close out the inaugural Meadows festival. Our thoughts are with West and his family.”
UPDATE: West has announced a second leg of the Saint Pablo tour. See a full listing of dates below.
