Tyler, The Creator is busy wrapping up his Chromakopia World Tour in the Philippines — and it might be his last for quite some quite.

“I’m excited to go home and think about if I’ll ever really tour again. I can’t lie to y’all, I’m at that part of my life where, man, I’ve done enough,” he contemplated to the audience during Sunday’s show (Sept. 21). “Let me go take a very, very, very long break. Y’all treated me very well, y’all treated Paris, Texas, very well. So, thank y’all.”


Tyler will be able to get some rest until November, when he’ll host and headline his Camp Flog Gnaw carnival, which is set to take over Dodger Stadium the weekend of Nov. 15 and Nov. 16.https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/tyler-the-creator-chromakopia-tour-break-1236073184/https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/tyler-the-creator-chromakopia-tour-break-1236073184/

Last month, he released a crossword puzzle for fans to figure out the festival lineup, which will include performances by Childish Gambino, Clipse, Larry June, 2 Chainz and Tems.

Tyler will then continue to recover and reset until March, when he’ll head to South America for a Lollapalooza circuit run in Argentina, Brazil and Chile. He also has shows in Colombia, Puerto Rico, Mexico and Costa Rica scheduled for 2026.

The 34-year-old has been busy for the last year-plus. He released his Chromakopia album in October 2024 and then hit the road in February for the Chromakopia World Tour.

In the midst of his North American leg, Tyler surprised fans with the release of his dance-leaning Don’t Tap The Glass album in July, which debuted atop the Billboard 200 with 197,000 album units earned.
