J. Cole adds NZ to world tour

/

Multi-platinum-selling artist J. Cole announced today that he will hit the road for a 57-city world tour.  The “4 Your Eyez Only” Tour kicks off in South Carolina with a run of thirteen small, intimate shows before going into Live Nation arenas in North America and the U.K., along with a mix of arena and theatre dates in Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

The North Carolina-bred Cole is touring in support of his fourth album, the Platinum-certified 4 Your Eyez Only, which debuted at No. 1 on theBillboard Top 200 chart in December. Each of its ten tracks has notched a place on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The "4 Your Eyez Only Tour” follows Cole’s 2015 "Forest Hills Drive Tour," which was the highest-selling hip-hop tour of that year, after which Cole embarked on an international festival run in 2016.
