Kanye West‘s fourth studio album 808s & Heartbreak turned ten years old over the weekend and in honor of the milestone, ‘Ye’s frequent collaborator, producer Malik Yusef, has announced a North American tribute tour. There will be performers at each stop, however West is not slated to hit the stage.
“I don’t do anything without Kanye’s blessing,” Yusuf said in a statement to Pitchfork, confirming West signed off on the tour.
“The producer will sponsor it and serve as the emcee,” Pitchfork wrote. “The 15-city tour will feature performances of the album’s songs by local artists at each stop. Performers will be picked by a yet-to-be-detailed voting process. The tour kicks off in Los Angeles and will wrap up in New York. Dates have not yet been announced, but the tour will begin in 2019.”
