Childish Gambino Announces ‘New World Tour’ Dates, Drops New Version of ‘3.15.20’ Album and Video
variety.comJem Aswad Executive Editor, Music Childish Gambino — aka multihyphenate Donald Glover — doesn’t do anything by half, and as he promised last month, he has dropped a new version of his surprise release “3.15.20” (which quietly dropped in March 2020), under its original title “Atavista,” dates for “The New World Tour,” a massive trek through North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, launching in August.
He also released a video for the album’s song “Little Foot Big Foot,” directed by Hiro Murai, featuring Young Nudy. He will follow with what he says is the last installment of the Gambino project, which will serve as the soundtrack to his film “Bando Storm and the New World.” Willow will support the AEG-produced tour in North America and Amaarae in Europe.
The loaded announcement recalls the Saturday evening in 2018 when he not only hosted “Saturday Night Live” — appearing in nearly every sketch as host and twice as musical guest — but he dropped the complex “This Is America” song and video during the show.
Tickets go on sale to the general public beginning Friday, May 17 at 10am local time at thenewworldtour.com. Fans can also sign up for early access to tickets via the artist presale for all tour dates at thenewworldtour.com.
