A$AP Rocky is going on his first tour in seven years.

The Harlem rapper unveiled the North American and European dates for his Don't Be Dumb tour this morning (Jan. 20), which includes five stops in Canada. The tour will come to Toronto's Scotiabank Arena (May 31) and Montreal's Centre Bell (June 1) before picking back up on the West Coast with concerts at Vancouver's Rogers Arena (July 1), Edmonton's Rogers Place (July 3) and Calgary's Scotiabank Saddledome (July 4). It's the first major hip-hop tour to pass through Alberta this year, with the Calgary date being a part of the 2026 Stampede Concert Series.

Billed as "A$AP Rocky and his alter egos," the tour will support Rocky's recently released album Don't Be Dumb, his first new LP in almost eight years. It's been just as long since his previous tour, 2019's Injured Generation tour, which came to 10,000 capacity arenas in Laval and Toronto. With venues twice the size this time around, it's set to be Rocky's biggest tour yet.

Canadian Government Introduces Canada Creative Credit to Support 'Artistic Production'

The Mark Carney government's new federal budget also confirms a $600 million investment to provide relief to the audiovisual sector for 2026-27, which was first announced in June.

Canada has built a new support for the creative sector into the new federal budget.

The Carney government's 2026 federal budget was tabled Thursday afternoon (Nov. 5), and it includes a new and forthcoming Canada Creative Credit, described as a tax relief "for Canadian artists to foster creativity, artistic production and cultural entrepreneurship." In a subsequent message posted to X, prime minister Mark Carney revealed that Canadian artists can benefit from an exception of up to $45,000.
