In October, they announced the tour’s US leg, which will commence later this month and is set to feature a fusion of music and comedy. Now, they’ve announced two UK shows to kick off in December.
They’ll head to London’s Eventim Apollo on December 2, followed by Croydon’s Fairfield Halls on December 4. Both shows will operate a no-phone policy, with the audience asked to deposit all phones, smart watches and accessories into Yondr pouches for the duration of the performance.
General sale begins on Friday (November 8) at 10am GMT, and tickets will be available here.
Chappelle and Mike have worked together on multiple occasions, including on the 2022 song ‘RUN’, which also featured Young Thug. At the time, it marked Mike’s first song as a solo artist in a decade. Since then, Chappelle also appeared on Mike’s most recent album ‘Michael’ in 2023.
Dave Chappell and Killer Mike’s 2024 U.K. shows are:
DECEMBER
2 – Eventim Apollo, London
4 – Fairfield Halls, Croydon, London
The rapper previously spoke to NME about ‘Michael’, saying the record “was an opportunity for people to know fully who I am”. He explained: “I realised this is 20 years in the game and people have never met the persona of Michael – they’ve met Killer Mike, who was named in a rap battle at 16 and is the product of a nine-year-old’s daydream of being an MC… They’ve known me as one half of one of the greatest rap groups ever, Run the Jewels, but they hadn’t met Michael.
“With Covid happening and with me getting incredibly sick for two weeks before they even named it Covid and seeing people leave too soon, I thought: ‘Man, what a shame it’d be for me to die and people not get introduced to me. So while I’m here, let me give opportunity for people to know fully who I am.’”
As for Run The Jewels, the duo have yet to release a new album since 2020’s ‘RTJ4’, which was crowned NME‘s Album of the Year. In a glowing five-star review of the album, Will Lavin wrote for NME: “Easily Mike and El-P’s best work to date, ‘RTJ4’ is protest music for a new generation; they’re armed in the uprising with a torrent of spirited rallying calls.
“And they are fearless in their approach to holding middle America and its apathetic leaders accountable. This is less ‘What’s Going On’ and more ‘It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back’ — although there’s no doubt that Marvin Gaye would enjoy hearing Killer Mike’s last words for the firing squad: ‘Fuck you, too.‘”
