TLDR: Russ has revealed his summer tour dates with only one Canadian stop—Toronto on July 12—part of a 16-city North American run with special guests Big Sean and Sabrina Claudio.
Yesterday, multi-platinum artist, producer, and New York Times best-selling author Russ announced the dates for his headlining North American Into The W!LD Tour.
Produced by Live Nation, the 16-date tour kicks off on Tuesday, July 8 in Morrison, CO at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre, with stops in major cities including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Toronto (July 12) and more. Russ will perform in arenas and amphitheaters across the country, culminating the tour on August 10 at White River Amphitheatre in Auburn, WA. See full tour routing below.
Russ will be joined by special guest, multi-platinum artist, Big Sean and supported by Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Sabrina Claudio for all dates. The tour comes on the heels of Russ announcing his sixth studio album W!LD, set for release this summer, along with sharing the first two singles from the album “Movin” and “April 7.”
Big Sean will be joining Russ and bringing his signature energy and catalog of chart-topping hits to arenas and amphitheatres across the country. Fans can expect an unforgettable experience as the Detroit native returns to the stage with his magnetic live show.
Last summer, Sean released his critically acclaimed sixth studio album Better Me Than You, which includes hit singles “Superstar,” “Together Forever” featuring The Alchemist, “On Up,” “Yes,” and “Precision.”
In addition to music, Sean recently released his first book Go Higher (Simon and Schuster) in January that serves as a spiritual guidebook for our times and outlines his five key practices for inner work and self-acceptance. Sean also leverages his platform to give back as he runs the Sean Anderson Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization which assists in the education, health, safety and well-being of school aged youth in underserved communities across the country.

Into The W!LD Tour
The Into The W!LD Tour follows RUSS’ tour from last year in support of his album SANTIAGO where he headlined sold out arenas including The Forum in LA and Barclays in NYC along with an extensive EU/UK tour that followed. The new album, W!LD, is a deeply personal one for Russ as it focuses on the new perspective he has on the unpredictability of life and the tug and pull between resisting challenges and embracing them. As he begins to look inward and examine what the future holds for himself personally and musically, W!LD is an in depth exploration of Russ’ journey into the unknown. To date, Russ has amassed over a staggering 22 billion career streams.
Aside from music, the multi-hyphenate recently became a New York Times best-selling author with the release of his second book, it was you all along, exploring themes of empowerment and self-love. The book rose to top 10 in the world on Amazon with pre-sales, and charted as the #5 self-help book, and #1 best selling book in Rap & Hip Hop Musician Biographies. Russ recently featured in M. Night Shymalan’s latest film TRAP and up next, he will star in Don’t Move, the new film from director Maclain Nelson, James Murray (Impractical Jokers) and Darren Wearmouth.
