A$AP Rocky – announces a show in the 3Arena, Dublin for September 2026.

Following the release of his long-awaited new album DON’T BE DUMB, multi-hyphenate artist, entrepreneur, actor, and fashion icon A$AP Rocky announces his 2026 tour, Don’t Be Dumb World Tour, which includes a show in the 3Arena, Dublin on 2nd September 2026.

Don’t Be Dumb World Tour kicks off in North America on May 27th at United Center in Chicago, and hits major cities including Los Angeles’ Kia Forum, Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena, and Houston’s Toyota Center, before wrapping up on July 11th at Prudential Center in New Jersey. The tour then arrives in Europe and the UK from August through September, kicking off in Brussels, Belgium at ING Arena on August 25th. Stops include London, Milan, Germany, Sweden, and more, before wrapping in Paris, France at Accor Arena on September 30th.

The announcement comes on the heels of Rocky’s fourth studio album, DON’T BE DUMB, released last Friday. As Rocky’s first album in nearly 8 years, DON’T BE DUMB “not only rewards patience but adds new wrinkles to the rapper’s approach — an evolved relationship with melody and a wiser lyrical slant,” says Billboard.

An unprecedented hype led up to DON’T BE DUMB’s release, surpassing 1 million pre-saves on Spotify, making it hip-hop’s most pre-saved album on the platform. This hype was built through a massive past year for Rocky, in which he starred in two A24-produced feature films — Highest 2 Lowest directed by Spike Lee, and the Golden-Globe-winning If I Had Legs I’d Kick You directed by Mary Bronstein. Rocky also served as co-chair of the 2025 Met Gala, was announced as the creative director for Ray-Ban, and was appointed as Chanel’s new house ambassador.
