Childish Gambino fans got a shock yesterday (September 9) when the artist unexpectedly postponed the remaining North American dates of his New World Tour.
“hey everyone. unfortunately i have to postpone the rest of the north american tour to focus on my physical health for a few weeks,” the rapper wrote on X and re-posted onto his Instagram story. “hold onto your tickets. ALL tickets will be honored for the upcoming dates in north america when they are rescheduled. thanks for the privacy. thanks for the support. thanks for the love.”

The North American tour had a month remaining at the time of Glover’s announcement, with the next scheduled date in Austin, Texas on Tuesday night. It was then set to move through the West Coast and Midwest before a final date in Chicago on October 3.
Besides Glover's new health concerns, the New World Tour has experienced a few hiccups. About two weeks into the tour, Glover had to cancel a show in Connecticut “due to production issues” (the venue could not present the show's next-level technology properly). He also had to call off a show in Houston on September 8 “due to illness” – most likely the same ailment prompting the postponement of the remaining North American tour dates.
Including the postponed Texas concert, 16 performances are affected by the musician’s health issues. The tour was scheduled to go overseas in November, so rescheduled dates are expected in 2025.
Donald Glover announced the New World Tour in May, ahead of the release of his “final” Childish Gambino album, Bando Stone and the New World. A forthcoming film of the same name is also set to be released. The New World Tour will be Glover's farewell tour before he retires the Childish Gambino name. He was supported on the North American leg of the tour by Willow.
