The Off-Season Tour was a co-headlining concert tour by American recording artist J. Cole, and rapper 21 Savage, in support of Cole’s sixth studio album The Off-Season (2021). The tour began on September 24, 2021 in Miami at the FTX Arena, and concluded on April 3, 2022 in Raleigh at his second Dreamville Festival.[1]
Background and development[edit]
On June 21, 2021, J. Cole posted a teaser on his official Twitter and Instagram accounts, respectively, asking his fans if he should tour for his album, The Off-Season, asking, “Should I tour this one?”. He followed up the teaser the next day on June 22 by officially announcing the dates of the tour, along with announcing his co-headliner, 21 Savage, and support for the tour, Morray.[2]
On June 23, 2021, Spotify held a presale for early access to tickets via Ticketmaster, while all venues held their own presale the following day. General sale for the tour began on June 25th, both also via Ticketmaster.[3]
On September 19, 2021, American comedian Druski, along with Cole’s manager Ibrahim Hamad, and record label Dreamville announced that Druski would be an additional opener and “host” for the tour. An add-on date meet and greet package to meet Druski was released to the public for every arena show date the following day on September 20.[4]
Set lists[edit]
These set lists are representative of the show on September 25, 2021 in Orlando. They are not representative of all concerts for the duration of the tour.
- J. Cole
- 21 Savage
Notes
- During the Orlando show, there were a number of delays related to production issues and technical difficulties, which affected ticket entry and the audience being seated, as well as the start times. Only Cole and 21 Savage performed, with 21 Savage having a shortened set, and while Morray did not perform his opening act, he later joined J. Cole during his set for his song “Quicksand”, and Cole’s song “My Life” alongside 21 Savage.
- During the Atlanta show, JID and EarthGang joined J. Cole and Bas for the performances of “Down Bad” and “The Jackie”
- During the Greensboro show, there were again delays related to production issues and technical difficulties, affecting the concert in the same respects as the Orlando show; again Morray did not perform his opening act, but later joined Cole and 21 Savage for “My Life”. 21 Savage did not perform his co-headlining set. Instead, 21 Savage joined Cole during his set, performing songs that were originally in his own set.
- During the Chicago show, G Herbo was brought onstage during 21 Savage’s set and performed “2 Chains”, “Statement”, and” T.O.P.”
- During the Houston and Inglewood shows, Ari Lennox joined J. Cole during his set.
