media release: After the announcement of Noname’s first tour in four years following the release of her long awaited third album, Sundial, Noname announces new North American and European dates for her forthcoming Sundial Tour. The 33-date world tour will make stops at all the cities announced earlier including New York City, Charlotte, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and her hometown, Chicago, along with major European cities like Berlin, Paris, London, and more.
The Sundial Tour follows Noname’s Sundial Block Party last month in her hometown neighborhood of Bronzeville, Chicago. The block party was free to the public (with a suggested book donation) and included entertainment for all ages featuring: face-painting, bouncey houses, Double-Dutch competitions, booths for local activist organizations and performances by Noname, Navy Blue, Alex Vaughn, as well as a surprise set from Chicago's very own Common. The Block Party was recently detailed in a profile on Pitchfork as “the culmination of everything she’s been working towards for the past several years, something that fuses her artistic imprimatur with radical human engagement.”
Sundial, released in August, is Noname's third full-length album and follows 2018’s acclaimed Room 25 and her breakout 2016 mixtape Telefone. Made over the last several months in Los Angeles, Sundial, is the product of years of exploration for the Chicago-raised artist. Noname recently spoke to Chicago’s The Triibe and The New Yorker about the album and the journey to its release earlier this month. The album features guests like Common, Billy Woods, Ayoni, Eryn Allen Kane and more along with production from the likes of longtime collaborator Saba, Gaetan Judd, and Yussef Dayes.
