J. Cole is gearing up to hit the road once again for The Fall-Off World Tour. While Cole’s mentor, Jay-Z, holds court at Yankee Stadium this weekend, the Dreamville boss kicks off his trek in his home state of North Carolina with a pair of Charlotte shows on Friday (July 10) and Saturday (July 11).
The tour marks J. Cole’s first global run in nearly a decade and serves as the Grammy-winning rapper’s first U.S. headlining tour since 2021’s The Off-Season Tour alongside 21 Savage, which wrapped up at Cole’s Dreamville Fest in 2022.
J. Cole also joined Drake for the 6 God’s extended It’s All a Blur Tour – Big as the What? for two months of shows in early 2024.
Eight years in the making, Cole released The Fall-Off in February, which he’s billed as his final album.“The Fall-Off, a double album made with intentions to be my last, brings the concept of my first project full circle,” he wrote on social media before the LP’s arrival.
The Fall-Off launched atop the Billboard 200 — Cole’s seventh LP at the summit — with 280,000 total album-equivalent units earned.
J. Cole previously topped the Billboard 200 with The Off-Season (2021), KOD (2018), 4 Your Eyez Only (2016), 2014 Forest Hills Drive (2014), Born Sinner (2013), and Cole World: The Sideline Story (2011).
Taking it back to the 2000s when he was looking to make a name for himself pursuing his rap dreams, Cole embarked on a Trunk Sale Tour across the U.S. in his old Honda Civic, where he connected with fans across the country and handed out The Fall-Off CDs.
It remains unclear if this is Cole’s final global trek, but it’s probably his last tour with new music for a while. Crafting a dream setlist, Billboard reaches back to Cole’s early days fighting for recognition with The Warm-Up to putting a bow on his catalog on The Fall-Off two decades later.
