Fair warning: don’t expect Thundercat’s full attention this fall. The musician will be preoccupied with the Distracted AF tour, which will visit a number of American and Canadian cities from October through December. Select dates will have support from a rotating list of openers: Channel Tres, TiaCorine, Fera, 54 Ultra, and Kitty Ca$h. Check out a full itinerary below.
The tour arrives on the heels of Thundercat’s most recent album Distracted, which dropped in April on Brainfeeder Records. The LP featured Tame Impala, Lil Yachty, A$AP Rocky, Channel Tres, and Willow, as well as a posthumous verse from longtime collaborator Mac Miller. Ahead of the tour, Thundercat also has a few summer festival dates lined up, including a slot at Newport Jazz Festival later this month.
