Don Toliver – announces NITROUS the second leg of his blockbuster OCTANE Tour with a stop off at Dublin’s 3Arena

Grammy-nominated artist and songwriter Don Toliver announces NITROUS the second leg of his blockbuster OCTANE Tour. Due to explosive fan demand and 31-city sold-out first leg, Don has added 19 new North American arena dates and will bring the acclaimed production overseas for an expansive run across Europe and the United Kingdom this fall, coming to the 3Arena, Dublin on 16th November 2026.

Produced by Live Nation and Cactus Jack, the world tour kicks off August 4 in Sacramento, CA and includes stops in Miami, Nashville, Orlando and more before wrapping September 6 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. The tour will then head overseas beginning October 25 in Paris, France, making stops across Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Ireland, and the United Kingdom before concluding November 23 at The O2 in London. The sold-out first leg of  the tour saw explosive performances from Don with several high profile guests including Travis Scott, SZA, Peso Pluma, Malcolm Todd and Sheck Wes. 

Houston-bred, multi-platinum, and GRAMMY-nominated artist Don Toliver has solidified his status as one of music’s most innovative and boundary-pushing forces, masterfully blending hip-hop, rap, R&B, and cinematic storytelling to create immersive sonic worlds. Following a string of acclaimed projects including Heaven or Hell (2020), Life of a DON (2021), Love Sick (2023), and Hardstone Psycho (2024), Toliver entered 2026 with his career-defining fifth studio album, OCTANE.

The album exploded onto the charts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, earning Don his first solo chart-topper and delivering one of the biggest album debuts of 2026. OCTANE has since surpassed 1 billion streams on Spotify, making it the most-streamed hip-hop album of the year and solidifying “E85” and “Body” as  the top two streaming hip-hop  songs in 2026. Further cementing its cultural impact, all 17 tracks from the project landed simultaneously on Billboard’s Hot Rap Songs chart, making Toliver just the sixth artist in history to achieve 17 or more entries in a single week. Viral fan favorites including “E85” and “Body” continue to dominate streaming platforms and charts worldwide, fueling the album’s reign as one of the defining releases of 2026. 

Don has also been featured on a slew of high-profile publications this year. From the covers of Billboard, Hypebeast, Flaunt and Boardroom, Don’s artistry and music industry takeover continues to be at the forefront of media. Complex named OCTANE as one of the “best albums of 2026” claiming Don is in his “superstar era” while Spotify dubbed “E85” as one of the “songs of the summer.” Furthermore, Don will take center stage at this year’s BET Awards on June 28th where he is nominated for “Best Male Hip-Hop Artist”.
