NBA YoungBoy's 2025 Masa Tour: Dates, venues, and more explored as rapper announces first headlining tour after 5 years

NBA YoungBoy has announced his 2025 “Masa Tour,” marking his first headlining tour in five years and his return to live performances since his 2024 incarceration. The 27-city tour begins on September 2 at Dallas’ American Airlines Center and concludes on October 19 at New Orleans’ Smoothie King Center.

Special guests DeeBaby, EBK Jaaybo, and K3 will join the rapper on the road, with tickets available via pre-sale until May 18. General sales will begin on May 22 at 10 a.m. local time. The “Masa Tour” follows NBA YoungBoy’s December 2024 album, I Just Got a Lot on My Shoulders, his final project under Motown Records, and his May 2025 single, Shot Callin.

NBA YoungBoy (born Kentrell Gaulden) walked out of prison in March 2025 after serving time for federal gun charges tied to a 23-month sentence and five years of probation. But here’s the twist: he was released early, clearing the way for him to reboot his music career, and this tour’s the first big proof. After years of legal limbo, fans finally get to see him live again.

The tour will hit major cities like Chicago’s United Center (Sept. 24), Brooklyn’s Barclays Center (Sept. 27), and Miami’s Kaseya Center (Oct. 13). VIP packages will be available alongside standard tickets, though pricing details remain undisclosed.

The tour announcement comes amid a prolific period for NBA YoungBoy, who dropped the 20-track More Leaks project in March 2025 and continues to dominate streaming platforms despite legal challenges.
