mtvU Woodie Awards and Festival at SXSW in Austin, Texas.

He’s still your Pusha! Veteran rapper Pusha T has a new album out and he is hitting the road with special guests Valee and Sheck Wes in August.

The U.S. tour opens with a performance at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colo., July 31 with Nas, Black Star, Brother Ali and Royce Da 5’9. The “Daytona Tour” continues for exactly a month, wrapping in Santa Ana, Calif.’s The Observatory Aug. 31.

The routing hits multiple House of Blues venues, in cities like Chicago, Cleveland, Boston, and Houston.

Presales are ongoing now, and the general onsale begins June 22, though tickets to the Red Rocks gig are available now.

The former Clipse member is pushing tunes from his latest project, Daytona, which was released in May and produced by Kanye West, the founder of the G.O.O.D. Music label of which Pusha T is president.

Pollstar recently spoketo Jordan Wolowitz of Governors Ball Festival in New york about how the festival got Pusha T to replace Brockhampton after the young group had to cancel its summer touring plans.

“Cara Lewis is Pusha’s longtime agent, and I’ve worked with [her] on a number of acts over the years. She has Eminem, Travis Scott, Vic Mensa, Khalid, she has a number of artists already playing at the festival and she is one of the best agents in the business,” he said. “Pusha was the very first person I thought of when I heard Brockhampton had to drop off and she made things happen very quickly. I give her the credit.”

The last time Pusha T took a full headline tour was in 2016, when he brought Bia along for a month-long trek. A highlight from that year was his gig at New York’s PlayStation Theater, which grossed $63,943 and sold all 2,150 tickets available.
