Ice Cube is hitting the road. The West Coast icon announced the Truth to Power: 4 Decades of Attitude Tour on Tuesday (April 15). The North American trek is his first domestic headlining tour in more than a decade.

The 22-date run kicks off in Brooklyn at the Barclays Center on Sept. 4 and will invade arenas across the country. Cube is hitting cities such as Baltimore, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Vancouver, Cleveland, Chicago, Oakland and wrapping up north of the border in Toronto.


“Truth to Power is more than a tour — it’s a 40-year celebration,” Cube said in a statement. “The world needs truth. The people need power. And that’s what my music brings. It’s gonna be next level to go from city to city with a major production unlike anything I’ve ever done before.”

Pre-sale tickets will start going on sale on Wednesday morning (April 16). Fans should keep an eye on Cube’s social media accounts when it comes to gaining access to pre-sales, while the general public will be able to purchase tickets on Friday morning (April 18) on Cube’s website.

There will be a variety of VIP packages available that will come with meet-and-greet opportunities with Cube, signed vinyls and more.

Ice Cube will be celebrating his decorated discography ranging from the days of running with N.W.A. to his Hall of Fame solo work through his most recent album, Man Down, which arrived in November.

For the first time since 2010, Ice Cube entered Billboard‘s Top Rap Albums chart last year with Man Down‘s debut at No. 8. The set was released through Lench Mob/Hitmaker Music Group and earned 20,000 equivalent album units in the U.S., according to Luminate.

“Most of the people who say hip-hop is a young man’s game don’t do it and ain’t never gripped a mic and ripped it,” Cube told Billboard last year. “I’m not worried about my ACL and my Achilles. This is wordplay, this is wordplay and flow. This is skill and beat selection, concept and hook selection.”

Kneecap Blasts Norwegian Government at Oslo Festival, Accusing It of Funding ‘Genocide’ Against Palestinians

The Irish rap trio went after the Norwegian government over its investments, which are currently under scrutiny, at Øyafestivalen.

Irish rap group Kneecap – which has drawn a storm of criticism, support, attention and legal action over the past half-year – continued to speak out about the war in Gaza during an afternoon set at the Øyafestivalen in Oslo, Norway, on Friday (Aug. 8).

Right before the trio of Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap and DJ Próvaí took the stage, an English-language white-text-on-black-background message played on a video screen, accusing the Norwegian government of “enabling” the “genocide” against the Palestinian people via investments held in the county’s sovereign wealth fund (referenced as “oil pension fund” in the message). “Over 80,000 people have been murdered by Israel in 21 months,” the band’s message continued. “Free Palestine.” The message was greeted readily by a cheering audience. Most estimates (including those from health officials in the area) place the Palestinian death toll at more than 60,000. That number does not distinguish between civilians and Hamas militants. An estimated 18,500 of those killed were children.
