T-Pain is embarking on his first tour in years, and he's bringing some special guests with him.
On Tuesday, June 3, the Florida native announced the plans for his "TP20 Tour." Teddy Penderazdoun aims to celebrate "the last 20 years of T-Pain and the NEXT 20 years that nobody is ready for." T-Pain will perform songs from his iconic career, from his 2005 debut album Rappa Ternt Sanga to his most recent LP On Top Of The Covers. The tour will with a series of festival appearances throughout the summer before he invades other major cities with supporting acts Keyshia Cole, EARTHGANG, Ying Yang Twins, and Waka Flocka Flame.
“This tour is not just a celebration, it’s a thank you to everyone that was there in 2005 and to everyone now who’s just catching onto the wave," T-Pain said in a press release. "It’s for the college kids that played my records at all those parties. It’s for those same people that are now parents and are putting their kids on to what they loved so much back in those days. It’s every karaoke night, every beat drop, every ‘T-Pain saved this song’ comment, every scream when I hit that stage. This isn’t just my story, this is our story. Because music doesn’t live in charts. It lives in people. Come celebrate the 20 years of T-Pain we’ve all gone through and the next 20 years that nobody’s ready for.”
