The BET Awards 2018 nominee for “Best New Artist,” will celebrate HOODIE SZN by headlining the upcoming Monster Energy Outbreak Tour. The 27-date trek – also featuring special guests Don Q and Trap Manny – gets underway February 20th at Emo’s in Austin, TX and then visits major markets across North America through early April (see attached itinerary). Tickets for the Monster Energy Outbreak Tour go on sale today at 10 am local.
