Bay Area fans were bummed when Tyler, the Creator removed himself from the 2024 Outside Lands bill for undisclosed reasons. (Yet, let’s face it, a lot of those frowns turned upside down once organizers announced that none other than Sabrina Carpenter would serve as the fill-in headliner.)
Still, Tyler fans did miss seeing the hip-hop superstar at the festival. Fortunately, they’ll have plenty of chances to make up for that as Tyler, the Creator returns to Northern California to perform three big shows.
The Grammy-winning rapper performs Feb. 23 at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, Feb. 24 at Oakland Arena and March 5 at Chase Center in San Francisco. (And that’s on top of the truly impressive half-dozen gigs also listed on his tour schedule at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.)
Tyler is touring in support of his chart-topping eighth studio album, “Chromakopia,” from last year. The record follows 2021’s “Call Me If You Get Lost.”
Fellow rapper Lil Yachty — a true rising star in the hip-hop game — opens the shows.
Showtime is 7:30 p.m. Tyler, the Creator tickets start at $140 (subject to change), ticketmaster.com.
