Joined by special guests Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q and Chevy Woods, the Live Nation-produced tour will hit major amphitheatres starting with Cincinnati’s Riverbend Music Center.
It goes without saying that it’s illegal in several states to make an announcement of this magnitude without including a couple of quotes from the headliners. Thankfully, Khalifa and Miller were more than willing to oblige, thus keeping this company on the right side of the law’s long, long arm.
“I’m really excited for this tour, for the fans and as a fan of music myself,” Khalifa said. “It’s going to be trippy!”
“I’m excited to go on a tour like this because it brings a group of individuals together to move across the country as a unit to showcase great music,” Miller said.
