Overview
- The tour was announced via the artists’ social channels and press materials, with pre-sales starting Wednesday, July 15 at 12 p.m. ET and a public on‑sale set for Friday, July 17 at 10 a.m. local time.
- Back To Basics is a 19‑city co‑headlining run that opens Sept. 10 in Cleveland and closes Oct. 25 in Pinellas Park, Florida.
- B.o.B is billed as a special guest for the tour but is explicitly not scheduled to appear at the Sept. 26 Columbus show.
- Lupe Fiasco arrives on the run after recent activity that includes a Food & Liquor 20th‑anniversary mini‑tour and the June release of Lupe Fiasco x Nu Deco Ensemble Live From Miami Beach, and he has a few festival and standalone August dates before the tour begins.
- Promoters position the shows as a celebration of late‑2000s/early‑2010s blog‑era hits, with mid‑to‑large venues across major markets and media coverage largely echoing the artists’ announcement posts and the official press release.
