J. Cole is hitting the road this autumn

Multi platinum-selling artist J. Cole will embark on a 57-city world tour this June, with the UK leg of the tour kicking off in October. 

The 4 Your Eyez Only tour kicks off with a run of small, intimate shows before going into the big arenas in North America. The US leg is followed by a six-date tour across the UK stopping in Nottingham, Birmingham, London, Cardiff, Manchester and Leeds.

The North Carolina-bred hip hop artist is touring in support of his fourth album, the Platinum-certified 4 Your Eyez Only, which debuted in the UK top 30 in December. Each of its 10 tracks has notched a place on the UK top 100 charts.

The 4 Your Eyez Only Tour follows Cole’s 2015 tour which was the highest-selling hip hop tour of that year, after which Cole embarked on an international festival run in 2016.

Dates for the tour are as follows:

12 October 2017 – Motorpoint Arena, Nottingham
14 October 2017 – Barclaycard Arena, Birmingham
15 October 2017 – The O2, London
