Childish Gambino is currently out on the road in support of his fifth and final studio album - Bando Stone And The New World,as well as the Atavista (2024) reissue.
And on Saturday,the rapper and singer brought The New World Tour to Little Caesars Arena in Detroit,Michigan,along with Willow Smith,who served as the opener.
While Gambino (born Donald McKinley Glover Jr.),40,has let it be known he's putting his Gambino moniker to rest,he still has a bit more time to perform for the fans before wrapping this part of his up.
'It really was just like,"Oh,it’s done.’ It’s not fulfilling,' Glover admitted to Billboard. “And I just felt like I didn’t need to build in this way anymore.'
The tour includes 33 stops across North America,that beginning in Oklahoma City on August 11 and ends in Chicago on October 3.
Willow will be replaced by Amaarae when The New World Tour heads to Europe,Australia,and New Zealand from October 31 through February 11,2025
'I'm not 25 anymore,standing in front of a boulder like,"This has to move,"' the former 30 Rock writer said. 'You give what you can,but there’s beauty everywhere in every moment. You don’t have to build it. You don't have to search for it.'
Glover Jr. first announced that he was ready to get rid of his alter ego back in April.
Willow will be serving as the opening during the entire North American dates through until October 3.
Amaarae will then take over the opening slot when The New World Tour makes its way to Europe,Australia and New Zealand for shows from October 31 through February 11,2025.
