Rod Wave’s new tour kicking off in Glendale in October

PHOENIX – Rapper Rod Wave announced he will kick off his 36-city tour in Glendale this fall.

The Last Lap Tour will begin on Oct. 19 at Desert Diamond Arena and travel the country until Dec. 18, when the concert series wraps up in Florida.

Special guests joining Wave include Moneybagg Yo, Toosii, Lil Poppa, Dess Dior and Eelmatic.

Tickets for the concerts will go on sale Sept. 6 at 10 a.m.

Wave has headlined three concerts in the Valley, with his most recent being in December 2023. The new concert will be his third time at Desert Diamond Arena.

The St. Petersburg native’s fifth album “Nostalgia” was released last year and topped the Billboard 200 chart for two weeks in a row. The 18-track compilation joined his previous two albums “SoulFly” and “Beautiful Mind” as chart toppers. Wave joined Taylor Swift as the only other artist to have their album top the charts in three consecutive years.

Wave’s popularity surged in 2019 when his song “Heart on Ice” went viral on TikTok, peaking at number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100.
