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.

Val Blavatnik to Oversee Warner Music Canada in New Role at Warner Music Group

Blavatnik will oversee Warner Music Canada as managing director of Warner Music North America, U.K. and Corporate Development at WMG. As part of a slew of executive announcements, Simon Robson will be leaving the company, while Alejandro Duque takes the top international role.

Val Blavatnik, the 28-year-old son of Warner Music Group majority owner and vice chairman Len Blavatnik, has been named managing director of Warner Music North America, U.K. and Corporate Development at the Warner Music Group, the company announced Friday (Sept. 25). In his new role the younger Blavatnik, who has held several roles at the company in recent years, and has been a board member since 2023, expects to “unify and drive business and operational strategy across these markets while guiding the company’s investment strategy to support growth,” according to a press release.

The Blavatnik announcement is part of a flurry of new executive announcements that CEO Robert Kyncl made this morning. In addition, Atlantic Music Group chairman/CEO Elliot Grainge will take on ADA in the U.S. as its new chairman, while Alejandro Duque, who has held the dual roles of president of Warner Latin and president of ADA since last July, has been named president of Warner Music International, adding Asia-Pacific and Europe, the Middle East and Africa under his oversight. (Duque will continue to oversee ADA outside the U.S.) Zach Friedman, currently COO at Atlantic Music Group, will add the title of vice chair of ADA U.S. to his resume.
