ASAP Rocky is an American rapper whose debut mixtape was “Live. Love. A$AP” released in 2011. Since then he has risen to be one of the most acclaimed rappers in the industry of hip hop. As his career advanced throughout the previous decade, ASAP Rocky has participated in several concert tour headlining opportunities.
Following the release of his first album "Long. Live. A$AP," the "Long Live ASAP Tour" in 2013 became the first significant headlining tour. Along with other musicians like Schoolboy Q, Danny Brown, and ASAP Mob, this tour visited many major American and Canadian cities. ASAP Rocky played tracks from the new album as well as songs from his mixtapes in quite lively performances at the concerts.
Specifically in 2015, ASAP Rocky began a US tour titled the "Rocky Loves You Tour." This aligned with his second album, "At. Long. Last. A$AP". Headliners among them were Tyler, The Creator, Danny Brown, and Vince Staples, who appeared in many concerts as supporting performers. More popularity and ticket sales for ASAP Rocky as well as performances at bigger venues defined this tour.
2016 saw the next major publication, "Injured Generation Tour." Given ASAP Rocky has not started a full-fledged tour since 2015, this North American trip was much awaited. Fans were eager to hear new music from J. Cole, as everyone who follows him would know. Opening performers on the tour included musicians like Juicy J, Joey Badass, and KEY! Regarding the second leg of this tour, there was a European one just after the North American performances.
The following year, in 2018, ASAP Rocky was back on tour for the “Injured Generation Tour Part 2”. This tour was the second part of the tour which was held in 2016, as the name of the tour suggests. This time, the cities from all the states of the United States and Canada were included. ASAP Rocky invited other artists such as Smooky MarGielaa, Paloma Ford, and Hector Delgado to join him on stage. He also sang his songs and songs of the group ASAP Mob which he is a member of.
More recently in 2022, ASAP Rocky released the “One of One Tour”. It is his first full-fledged headlining concert tour since, and he has only done a few shows since then. It will be a great return the live performances and a great opportunity for the fans to enjoy their favorite artists’ creativity. The tour is based on shows in North America. Thus far Los Angeles, Atlanta, Houston, Chicago, Toronto, and New York are confirmed tour cities. It is given that more dates will soon be added.
Unlike other current ASAP Rocky tours, there are few opening acts on different dates, though not as few as some people may have expected. Two artists who have been affiliated with the label include Rob Markman and Bankroll Freddie. This implies that the shows will extensively use music by ASAP Rocky, including his latest and previous works. Audiences too are looking forward to listening to new tracks if any are in the store.
The “One of One Tour” is likely to witness ticket sales being sold out quickly in large cities. As mentioned earlier, ASAP Rocky has become much more popular in the last decade. His deeper collection also means there is a lot of variety that can be included in the setlists. The production levels should be high given his previous tours as well.
As for the specific dates, nothing has been set in stone yet, but, broadly speaking, the “One of One Tour” is expected to commence in mid-2023. It will be in the spring and early summer. This is to avoid a conflict with the major summer music festivals that ASAP Rocky is likely to stage. More details about the specific dates, venues, and how to obtain tickets will be released in the coming months.
Considering his past and present concert performance records, fans should be prepared for entertaining shows from the rap artiste, ASAP Rocky. He likes to be on stage and engage with the audience during concerts. The two shows also have different surprise elements in each of the episodes as well. The ‘One of One Tour’ is slated for the year 2023 and will feature its largest venues and fan attendance to date. That will be a significant shift in ASAP Rocky’s live performance portfolio. Fans across the world are already waiting for another opportunity to see ASAP Rocky perform live again.
