A$AP Rocky's Highly Anticipated World Tour Includes Montreal Stop at Bell Centre
Montreal music fans have a major event to mark on their calendars this summer. A$AP Rocky will bring his Don't Be Dumb World Tour to the Bell Centre on June 1, 2026. This announcement confirms one of the most anticipated concert dates in the city's entertainment scene for the upcoming season.
Extensive Canadian Tour Dates Across Major Cities
The Montreal performance is part of a comprehensive 42-date international tour that includes multiple stops across Canada. The tour schedule features:
- Toronto on May 31
- Vancouver on July 1
- Edmonton on July 3
- Calgary on July 4
This extensive North American leg represents the rapper's most significant touring activity in several years, promising to bring his distinctive style and energy to audiences nationwide.
Supporting First Album Release Since 2018
The tour supports Rocky's latest album, Don't Be Dumb, which marks his first full-length release since 2018's Testing. The project has generated considerable attention for its unexpected creative collaborations, including:
- Artwork by acclaimed filmmaker Tim Burton, known for Beetlejuice and numerous gothic fantasy films
- Musical contributions from composer Danny Elfman, Burton's frequent collaborator
- A music video for Punk Rocky featuring actress Winona Ryder of Stranger Things fame
These artistic partnerships demonstrate Rocky's continued evolution as an artist willing to explore unconventional creative avenues beyond traditional hip-hop boundaries.
Recent Career Developments and Personal Life
The rapper's career has seen several notable developments in recent years. He was originally scheduled to headline Montreal's Osheaga festival in 2022 but was ultimately replaced by Future. More recently, Rocky addressed his ongoing rivalry with Canadian superstar Drake on his new single Stole Ya Flow.
In an interview with the New York Times, Rocky commented on the dynamic, stating, "I started out seeing people who just started out as friends and just became foes." While he didn't mention Drake by name in the lyrics, he acknowledged that "we all know" the reference was directed at the Toronto artist.
On the personal front, Rocky continues his relationship with global pop icon Rihanna, with whom he shares three children. This high-profile partnership remains a subject of considerable public interest and media attention.
