There’s something exciting about discovering an artist on the verge of a breakthrough, and if there’s any artist worth keeping your eyes on right now, it’s NF. The rapper, singer, and songwriter holds nothing back in his songwriting, diving in to mental health and addiction, his relationship with his parents, and the realities of fame and success, and his third album Perception (released October 6 via Capitol Records) is on track for a highly successful first week: it currently sits at #1 on the iTunes Top Albums Chart and Amazon’s Rap Chart (it reached #3 on Amazon’s Overall Digital Albums Chart).
But as deeply personal as the record is, nothing beats a live performance in terms of connecting with fans, and NF has recently announced that he’ll be taking his new songs to the road for a headlining tour in 2018. The 2018 Perception Tour will begin on January 23 in Birmingham, Alabama and wrap up nearly two months later, on March 17 in Seattle. The tour will include two shows in NF’s home state of Michigan (February 3 in Detroit and February 5 in Grand Rapids), as well as over thirty other markets which can all be seen below.
Fan pre-sales will begin on October 10 with general on-sales beginning October 13 at 10am local time. Visit NF’s website to purchase tickets to all shows, and we suggest moving quickly: most shows were sold out on his headlining tour earlier in 2017.
