Laila! Announces Her First-Ever Headlining Tour

Laila! is going on tour, Billboard can exclusively announce.

The hip-hop and R&B prodigy is set to embark on the Gap Year Tour!, where she’ll be hitting 10 cities across North America beginning on Mar. 27 in San Francisco and finishing up on Apr. 27 in Toronto. Ticketing will begin with an exclusive artist presale on Wednesday (Jan. 29) at 10 a.m local time followed by a Spotify Fans First presale on Thursday (Jan. 30) at 10 a.m. local time. General ticketing will be available on Friday (Jan. 24) at 10 a.m. local time by going to Laila!’s website.

Featured as our October 2024 Rookie of the Month, Laila! released her debut album Gap Year! in September to capitalize on the success of her viral smashes “Like That!” and “Not My Problem”. The project also made our short list of the 10 Best R&B Albums of last year, marking a pretty remarkable year for the “baby genius.” She headlined her first show in September of 2024 at Baby’s All Right in Brooklyn and now she’ll be headlining her first national tour.
