On Wednesday, Aug. 14, the Grammy-nominated rapper, 25, announced her Sugar Honey Iced Tea tour in support of her latest studio album, which arrived on Aug. 9. This marks her first-ever headlining run across North America.
According to a press release, the Live Nation-produced tour will hit 22 cities this fall, starting in Tampa, Fla., on Oct 25 before making stops in Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Toronto, Detroit, Las Vegas and more. The rapper's run of shows will conclude on Dec. 7 in Denver.
Special guests Mariah The Scientist and Karrahbooo will join Latto for her tour run. Tickets for the general public go on sale at 10 a.m. local time on Friday, Aug. 16, at BigLatto.com.
Latto's Sugar Honey Iced Tea tour follows the release of her third studio album, an ode to her Georgia roots that features fellow Southern artists like Megan Thee Stallion, Ciara, Coco Jones, Young Nudy, Flo Milli, Teezo Touchdown and more.
The "Big Mama" rapper opened up about what inspired her album's title in her Billboard cover story earlier this summer, saying, "When I met [producers] Pooh [Beatz] and [Go] Grizz[ly] and locked in with them, everything just felt Southern."

"One day, shortly after we cut 'Put It on Da Floor,' I just walked in the studio like, '"Sugar Honey Iced Tea" is the name of the album,'" she added. "People be trying to be messy and thinking it’s a response to something. I promise you, this is before any of that s---. This is something that just felt Southern to me. Where I’m from, we be like, 'I’m the sugar honey iced tea!'"
Latto's been on a bit of a run this year, kicking things off with her second album single, "Sunday Service," in February. In June, she performed at the 2024 BET Awards and snagged two nominations from the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards this month for her "Seven" collaboration with BTS' Jung Kook.
Days after her album arrived, on Aug. 13, Latto dropped a bonus track titled "Chicken Grease," a flip on T.I.'s 2003 hit "24's," which she previewed in her Sugar Honey Iced Tea trailer (which also starred the latter). The track is already a fan favorite that concert-goers hope to hear on Latto's tour this fall.
