Kanye West Announces ‘The Saint Pablo Tour’

While he certainly hasn’t stayed off the road the last few years, the upcoming excursion marks Kanye’s first full-fledged North American tour since 2013’s trek in support of Yeezus.

Rolling Stone called the 2013 tour “awe-inspiring. Truly electrifying … The stage as imagined and executed by West was truly something to behold.”

A review from the New York Post proclaimed, “The Yeezus tour is more than just a concert. It’s an extravaganza of music and theater … a combination which makes him the most fascinating musical figure of our time and makes this tour an unmissable spectacle.”

You probably shouldn’t miss the 2016 tour either. As an announcement from promoter Live Nation declares: “The Saint Pablo Tour is the most anticipated concert event of the year.”  

The tour takes its name from Kanye’s seventh studio album, The Life of Pablo, which was released in February.
