Promoted by AEG Presents, “Chromakopia: the World Tour” will feature special guests Lil Yachty and Paris Texas and spans North America, Europe, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand over the course of 2025. Tickets go on sale on Nov. 1 at 10 a.m. local time in each market.
The tour’s announcement comes just as Tyler debuted “Noid,” the first full single and music video from his new album. The video features actor Ayo Edebiri as a crazed fan who runs up to Tyler with tears streaming down her face (and a gun in hand) as Tyler sings, “Feel it in my aura, living between cameras and recorders.”

Tyler, the Creator's Chromakopia Listening Event was a 'Homecoming'
It was a homecoming for the LA rapper, who told the crowd Sunday night that Chromakopia “originated with growing up in these areas.” “I was like ‘oh shit, nobody knows anything about me from before [I was 17],” Tyler, wearing a green military suit, said.
Tyler was in his element, marching onto the stage just past 9 p.m. wearing his military garb and the same plastic mask from the “Noid” music video. As the album played, he was pacing back and forth from one end of the stage to the other, flailing his arms around, sprinting in place and lying on the ground, taking the occasional break to stare off into the crowd and take in his moment.
His first album in three years, Tyler is employing a unique approach for Chromakopia‘s rollout, breaking from the industry standard of dropping at Midnight on Friday and instead hoping fans will take the whole week to digest the new record with a 6 a.m. Monday release. “Don’t lose y’all sleep trying to stay up, go to sleep,” he joked to his fans in the arena on Sunday as the album was hours from release. “I’m excited for y’all to hear the album the second time, that second time when it hits you, you know if you fuckin’ think it’s the worst thing ever or if you’re really fucking with it.”
Tyler's Chromakopia: A Reflection of Growth and Evolution
Tyler gets introspectiveTyler’s long evolution from transgressive shock rapper into one of hip-hop’s finest storytellers remains on full display on Chromakopia. As Tyler explained to the crowd after the album finally concluded, most of this record was inspired by the things his mother would tell him in his youth that he was too young to understand. Only in adulthood are those lessons truly clicking.
“Now that I’m 33, all that stuff is like ‘oh that’s what the fuck she was talking about,” Tyler, literally dripping with sweat, told the crowd Sunday night. “‘Oh I’m not the guy I was at 20. Oh shit, people are getting older, folks having kids and families.’ All I’ve got is a new Ferrari, that does feel kind of weird. I’ve got a grey hair on my chest. Life is life. I just wanted to write about stuff I think about when I’m dolo’ing.”‘
Chromakopia's Themes: Adulting, Fatherhood, Love, and More
A rapper grows upThose lessons have led to some profound material as Chromakopia grapples with increasingly challenging artistic themes like adulthood, fatherhood, and love. Tyler specifically digs in about pregnancy as well as the fears of becoming a father. “Who am I to bitch and complain? You’ve got to deal with all the mental and the physical shit,” he raps. “All the heaviest emotions and the physical pain just to give a kid the man’s last name? Fuck that.”
He poignantly seems to tell a lover to “take off your mask” on one track, particularly fitting given that Tyler himself had covered his own face in a mask until the very last song on Sunday.
Chromakopia: Exploring New Sounds
New soundsSonically, Chromakopia embraces some new, moodier sounds that match the vibe he’s established on stage with the military fit. Tyler still retains some of the familiar elements that have lined his music since the Flower Boy period, though. Some of Chromakopia’s slower songs are almost reminiscent of Tyler’s raps, like “Wilshire” from Call Me If You Get Lost. Overall, the album is still high-energy, and Tyler’s still quick with clever, goofy quips. The crowd cracked up and cheered as Tyler rapped, “fuck what you heard, I’m that n***a, and I’m that bitch,” as one of the final verses on the entire album.
The Power of Collaboration: Doechii, Glorilla, Sexyy Red Shine on Chromakopia
Hip-hop’s buzziest women give standout featuresAmong the features we caught at the listening party were Schoolboy Q, Teezo Touchdown, Daniel Caesar, and Lil Wayne, though it was Doechii, Glorilla, And Sexyy Red who earned most of the attention. “Sticky” in particular — which features Glo and Sexyy’s verses — looks to be the album’s runaway hit, if the crowd’s reaction during the show was any indication, at least.
What is a Chromakopia Exactly?
What is a Chromakopia exactly?That question still remained unanswered by the end of the night, still not explained through the military imagery, dark green colors, and industrial vibes accompanying the material on the record. Still, the aesthetic is consistent, with the cameras showing Tyler in the same monochrome grey shown in most of the Noid music video last week. The imagery’s symbolism will likely become more clear as the album rolls out.
The Future of Tyler, the Creator: A Vision for Chromakopia
Tyler, the Creator is bringing his new album — and only his new album — to Inglewood’s Intuit Dome.
“I will not be performing,” he noted, “I will be standing in the middle of the venue lip syncing to the new sounds.” He added that tickets for the event cost $5.
“Chromakopia” is due to hit streaming services Monday at 3 a.m. (Pacific). The album is Tyler’s highly anticipated follow-up to 2021’s “Call Me if You Get Lost,” which was named best rap album at the 64th Grammy Awards . (Tyler won the same award with his previous LP, 2019’s “Igor,” although that psychedelic soul excursion wasn’t really a rap album, as he noted backstage at the Grammys in 2020.)
Tyler’s Intuit Dome show follows a string of similarly conceived events by Kanye West, including a controversial appearance at March’s Rolling Loud festival in Inglewood where West and his creative partner Ty Dolla Sign roamed around a stage as songs from their “Vultures 1” album played over a sound system.
On Wednesday, Tyler announced dates for a 2025 world tour behind “Chromakopia.” He’s due to perform at his annual Camp Flog Gnaw festival next month at Dodger Stadium, topping a bill that also features Playboi Carti, Omar Apollo, Erykah Badu, the Marías, André 3000, Vince Staples, Tommy Richman and Sexyy Red, among other acts.
