(DETROIT – July 31, 2026) – Due to overwhelming fan demand, trend-setting and chart-topping multiplatinum artist, rapper, singer, storyteller, visionary and entrepreneur Rod Wave has added a second Little Caesars Arena performance to the Don't Look Down Tour. The newly announced date will take place Tuesday, October 20, in addition to the previously announced Monday, October 19 performance. Special guest FRIDAYY will join as support on both dates.
All gas and no brakes this summer, trend-setting and chart-topping multiplatinum artist, rapper, singer, storyteller, visionary, and entrepreneur Rod Wave keeps up his incredible momentum with the release of a new single and music video entitled “Hustle” out now via Alamo Records. Listen HERE and watch the music video HERE. It just ups the anticipation for his anxiously awaited seventh full-length album, Don’t Look Down, out August 28. Pre-order/Pre-save HERE.
In support of the record, Rod Wave will embark on his biggest headline jaunt yet, the Don’t Look Down Tour, canvasing the continent and visiting arenas coast-to-coast. Renowned for his powerhouse performances, he has quietly emerged as one of the biggest ticket-sellers in the culture, leading the pack for the touring industry. Given the overwhelming demand for shows, Rod is announcing nine additional dates to his nationwide tour. The 25-city excursion, including Philadelphia, Houston, Dallas, Los Angeles, Detroit, Brooklyn, Chicago, Charlotte, Ft. Lauderdale, Atlanta, will now add second dates across some of these major markets. The Mainstay Touring produced run kicks off on September 12 in Philadelphia, rolls through the South, Midwest, East Coast, and West Coast, and closes out in Atlanta on November 19.
Tickets for the new date go on sale today, Friday, July 31 at 12 p.m. at 313Presents.com, Official-RodWave.com and Ticketmaster.com. VIP packages and Platinum tickets will also be available at Official-RodWave.com.
Check out the full confirmed itinerary below.
To kickstart the current chapter, he personally broke the news of Don’t Look Down with a viral post of the cover where he looks his best in a dapper tailored suit. He also dropped the Official Album Trailer which he personally starred in alongside Gold Globe nominated actor Danny Huston (Succession, Yellowstone, Wonder Woman), and produced through Mainstay Films. Watch HERE.
He will undoubtedly deliver “that raw emotion” with the downright epic Don’t Look Down. It notably marks his first full-length offering since 2024’s acclaimed Last Lap. The latter bowed at #2 on the Billboard 200, notching his fifth consecutive Top 3 entry on the respective chart and netting his fourth straight #1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart too! He kicked off this year with “Feed The Streets.” The song has impressively amassed tens of millions of streams as well as 18 million-plus YouTube views on the music video.
Following a momentous 2025, Rod has rolled into 2026 as hot as ever. At the moment, he consistently averages over 82.3 million weekly worldwide streams. Moreover, he closed out last year as “the third most-streamed artist in the U.S. on Audiomack and in the Top 15 of overall on-demand audio artists.” Not to mention, he sold out every date of his arena headline tour, The Redemption Experience. In addition, he garnered a nomination at the 2026 GRAMMY® Awards in the category of “Best Song Written for Visual Video” for “Sinners.” Of course, it stands out as the title track and lead single from the 2x-time 83rd Golden Globe Award-winning, Ryan Coogler epic box office smash Sinners.
