Blacksmith/Def Jam Recordings artist Vince Staples will cross a major threshold early next year, when he opens The Life Aquatic Tour, the first major headlining North American tour of his career, and the first time he will be touring material from his critically acclaimed new EP PRIMA DONNA.
The Life Aquatic Tour is a 6-week, 26-city tour across the U.S. and Canada, with Brooklyn’s Kilo Kish in support (she is featured on PRIMA DONNA’s “Loco”), will open February 24th at North Park Observatory in San Diego, and wrap up at the Phoenix Lights Festival in Arizona on April 9th.
The Life Aquatic Tour will be Vince’s first full-scale road trip since the massive U.S. and international summer festival run that included show stopping performances at Coachella, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Firefly, Primavera Sound Barcelona, Glastonbury, Wireless, and FYF Festival in Los Angeles.
In related news, on November 27th, Vince Staples debuted the first episode of his new monthly radio show S E A (Section Eight Arthouse) Broadcast System on Beats 1, Apple Music’s global radio station. S E A Broadcast System is a pirate radio-style broadcast full of music and interviews designated to illuminate and distract the mind curated by Vince. S E A Broadcast System is set to air every third Thursday of the month at 3pm PT/6 pm ET. Watch the trailer below as well as his “Prima Donna” video:
