Chance the Rapper’s ‘Coloring Book’ Turns 10 and He’s Taking the Anniversary on the Road

Ten years ago, Chance the Rapper changed the rules. ‘Coloring Book,’ released in May 2016, became the first streaming-only project to win a Grammy Award, and it did so on Chance’s own terms, independent, community-driven, and completely his own. Now he’s marking the milestone with The Coloring Book 10 Tour, a massive North American run launching August 11 in Cleveland and wrapping October 11 in Pittsburgh.

The mixtape that sparked it all blended gospel, hip-hop, and soulful live instrumentation into something that felt genuinely joyful and unlike anything else in the conversation at the time. Collaborators on the project included Justin Bieber, Kirk Franklin, Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, T-Pain, and Saba, with production from Kaytranada, Brasstracks, and Francis and the Lights, alongside longtime creative partners Nico Segal, Peter Cottontale, and The Social Experiment.

The tour hits more than 40 cities across the U.S. and Canada, with stops at New York’s SummerStage Central Park, Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, the Moody Amphitheater at Waterloo Park in Austin, Seattle’s Paramount Theatre, and Denver’s Fillmore Auditorium, among many others. It’s a full coast-to-coast celebration of an album that still resonates a decade on.

Presales open May 19, with general on-sale beginning May 21 at 10 am local time. VIP packages are available. Full details and tickets at chancetherapper.com.
