The Monster Energy Outbreak Tour has teamed up with breakout hip-hop artist 21 Savage for his “Issa Tour” this spring. The journey kicks off in Houston on March 31 with stops in New York City, Los Angeles, Dallas, and Chicago. Joining 21 Savage on tour will be Young M.A, hip-hop’s latest female rap star, Tee Grizzley and Young Nudy.
21 Savage has taken the music world by storm this past year, becoming one of the most talked about new artists of 2016. The Atlanta rapper has been receiving high praise from the press, rap fans from all over the world, and his peers, like Drake, Future and Young Thug, among many others. After putting out a series of mixtapes, 21 Savage teamed up with hip-hop’s go to hit maker, Metro Boomin (Drake, Kanye West, Future), and released his critically acclaimed Savage Mode album last year. The project’s breakout singles, “X,” which features Future, and “No Heart,” have recently been climbing the charts. His upcoming #IssaAlbum will be dropping this spring, but for now, the young gun is ready to hit the road on his very first headlining tour.
“I’m the biggest, newest artist to break in the last year – I worked like a real monster and hard work pays off. It’s only right that I team up with The Monster Energy Outbreak Tour for my first headlining run,” 21 Savage said recently.
Launched in 2011, The Monster Energy Outbreak Tour pairs breakout artists with their largest and most ambitious headlining tours to date with fan-friendly ticket prices performed in premium venues. Previous Outbreak artists have included Kendrick Lamar, Macklemore, Logic, Iggy Azalea, Fetty Wap, Post Malone and others.
“21 Savage personifies the Outbreak brand while bringing the intensity of Monster Energy,” says Steven Ljubicic, General Manager for the Outbreak Tour, now entering its sixth year. “He’s really in his moment, and we’re ecstatic to be a part of the biggest headlining tour of his career. With the addition of Young M.A, this is a golden ticket for fans across the US to experience these artists who are helping shape the voice of hip-hop today.”
