After much anticipation, Doechii has officially announced her upcoming “Live from the Swamp Tour.” Produced by Live Nation, the 12-city North American headline run will kick off on October 14 at Aragon Ballroom in Chicago. The outing will also take the GRAMMY-winning Top Dawg Entertainment / Capitol Records recording artist to Toronto, the Eastern Seaboard, Georgia, Texas and Arizona and wrap up with a trio of West Coast shows in San Diego, San Francisco and Seattle. See below for itinerary.
The announcement comes on the heels of Doechii’s Lollapalooza debut. Praising her set as “a hip hop master class,” the Chicago Tribune declared, “Welcoming thousands to Doechii’s School of Hip Hop, complete with a giant, funhouse-style boombox center stage, she rapped, writhed, and twerked circles around a troupe of dancers (delivering choreography that would make the great, ballroom pioneer Willi Ninja proud) and delivered lessons in bars, flow, genre, scratching and word play.”
She closed her Lollapalooza set by driving off in an albino alligator wrapped car, teasing the upcoming dates. Leading up to the reveal, massive albino gators appeared at landmarks in cities she’ll hit this fall, including Piedmont Park in Atlanta, the Welcome to Texas sign, La Jolla Cove in San Diego, San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, Seattle’s Space Needle, and even floated down the Chicago River this past weekend.
She will also tour Australia for the first time in December, performing at the Spilt Milk Festival. In 2024, Doechii toured the U.S., Europe and the U.K. on the sold-out Alligator Bites Never Heal The Tour.
Doechii is featured on the cover of the August issue of British Vogue, which hailed her as “a creative visionary” and observed, “She is 10-toes-down authentic, punk rock in the way that she’s motivated by her own spirit.” Read the cover story HERE. In a five-star review, The Guardian praised her Glastonbury headline set as “an education in rap from the greatest teacher in the game…unrelentingly brilliant.” In another five-star review, The Independent said, “With unbelievable lung capacity, Doechii’s rapping is relentless and thoroughly satisfying to listen to…thrilling to witness….a megastar on the rise.” The Washington Post praised her performance at WorldPride Festival as “evidence of rap music’s synchronizing power” and noted, “When she launched into her signature tale of a stressed-out crash out, ‘Denial Is a River,’ fans two blocks deep in the crowd were rattling off Doechii’s zigzag lyrics as if reciting a shouted prayer…”
In February, Doechii won a GRAMMY Award for Best Rap Album for Alligator Bites Never Heal. The album came in at No. 1 on Rolling Stone’s list of “The 20 Best Hip-Hop Albums of 2024” and placed in the top 10 of their overall “Best Albums of 2024” tally. Critics at NPR, Paste, Consequence of Sound, Stereogum and UPROXX also hailed AlligatorBites Never Heal as one of the year’s best albums. Listen HERE. Doechii was recently named Woman of the Year at the 2025 Billboard Women in Music event, Best Female Hip Hop Artist at the BET Awards and Outstanding Music Artist at the GLAAD Media Awards.
