Kanye West Coming to American Airlines Center in September

It's been a bit of a weird year for Kanye West. Like, weird even for Yeezy. There was the whole bankruptcy thing, plus, of course, the album that we're still not quite sure he's done with, even though it's been out for four months. So, hey, sounds like it's about to...

It's been a bit of a weird year for Kanye West. Like, weird even for Yeezy. There was the whole bankruptcy thing, plus, of course, the album that we're still not quite sure he's done with, even though it's been out for four months. So, hey, sounds like it's about to time to hit the road, right?

West will be doing just that this fall in support of The Life of Pablo, with the appropriately named (for West, anyway) Saint Pablo Tour. The tour, which kicks off in Indianapolis on August 25, is his first solo tour since 2014. Saint Pablo passes through Dallas a month later with a date at American Airlines Center on Thursday, September 22.

We'll go out on a limb here and predict the weather will be a little different then than during his ice-storm-hit last stop in the Big D, which took place at AAC back in December 2013. (Fingers crossed, anyway.)

No opening acts have been announced for the Saint Pablo Tour or Dallas specifically. (Might we suggest "Fade" guest Post Malone? Just a thought — if he's not already busy with Bieber.) Tickets, however, go on sale this Friday, June 17 at ticketmaster.com.
