Playboi Carti Announces Antagonist World Tour With Opium Collective

Playboi Carti is hitting the road this fall as he’s announced the global Antagonist Tour alongside his Opium Collective.

The North American leg of the arena trek will kick off on September 6 in Denver and wrap up in Carti’s hometown of Atlanta on October 20, with stops in cities such as Los Angeles, Houston, Chicago, Philadelphia and New York along the way.

King Vamp and co. will then take the Antagonist Tour overseas where he’s lined up shows for fans in the U.K., France, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and more.

The Opium Collective’s opening lineup will include sets from Ken Carson, Destroy Lonely and Homixide Gang at nearly every stop, marking the crew’s first time hitting the road together.

Pre-sale tickets are set to go on sale on Wednesday (July 12) via Ticketmaster before the public has their shot on Friday (July 14).

With Playboi Carti touring Whole Lotta Red in 2021 as part of his Narcissist Tour, many are speculating that the 26-year-old’s new album, tentatively titled Music, will arrive prior to the start of his upcoming tour.

Despite the anticipation for his next solo offering, last month rumors circulated about a possible joint project from Carti and NBA YoungBoy.

Carti made a surprise return to social media on June 12 and posted a rare photo on his Instagram Stories of YoungBoy wearing an upside-down cross chain.

Celebrity jeweler Wafi amin Lalani later shed more light on the neck piece, claiming it was a gift from Carti to YoungBoy ahead of their “new collab album.”

In a video posted to his company Jewelry Unlimited’s Instagram page, Wafi also offered a close-up of the chain, which boasts dozens of glistening diamonds.

“004KT,” he wrote in the caption, possibly referencing the title of the collaborative project. “@playboicarti GIFTS YOUNGBOY A CHAIN AHEAD OF THEIR NEW COLLAB ALBUM.”

Released at the tail end of 2020, Playboi Carti’s Whole Lotta Red, shot to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 100,000 first-week sales, bolstered by big-name features from Kanye West, Future and Kid Cudi.

Since then, he’s worked with the likes of A$AP Rocky, The Weeknd and Trippie Redd, earned his first Grammy nomination and headlined tours and festivals, while also building his budding Opium label with releases from Destroy Lonely and Ken Carson.
