A$AP Rocky is bringing his Don't Be Dumb World Tour to the Las Vegas Strip this summer, locking in a one-night stop at MGM Grand Garden Arena on Friday, June 26. The tour date hits just as Rocky steps back into the national spotlight behind his fourth studio album, Don't Be Dumb, fresh off a round of high-visibility TV appearances.
Strip stop locked in
The Las Vegas booking first surfaced in a report from John Katsilometes at the Las Vegas Review-Journal, which pegged the show for June 26 and pointed fans to AXS.com for ticket details. Katsilometes also ran through Rocky's recent TV spotlight and the early buzz swirling around the new record.
How to get tickets
On the ticketing side, the official tour page at Ticketmaster lays out the full Don't Be Dumb World Tour schedule, including the MGM Grand Garden Arena date, and notes an artist presale that requires fans to sign up in advance. The listing cites a Jan. 21 presale window for many North American stops and links out to the venue's AXS event page for the Las Vegas show, according to the event details posted at Ticketmaster.
Fresh off SNL
Rocky recently used Studio 8H as his launchpad, making his debut as musical guest on Saturday Night Live on Jan. 17. He performed "Punk Rocky" along with a medley of "Helicopter" and the album's title track, as recapped by People. Don't Be Dumb officially dropped Jan. 16, with the SNL set serving as a national sneak peek ahead of the summer run.
Inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena
The MGM Grand Grand Garden Arena remains one of the Strip's signature big rooms for major tours and awards shows, and its box office information points buyers to AXS as the arena's ticketing partner. The venue's official site lays out box office hours, a rundown of prohibited items and direct AXS links for upcoming events at MGM Grand Garden Arena.
More routing details and opening acts are expected as the Don't Be Dumb World Tour continues to roll out. For now, fans eyeing the June 26 Strip stop will want to keep an eye on Ticketmaster and AXS for presale information and general on-sale timing tied to the Las Vegas date.
