North West and Molly Santana Launch Co-Headlining Kimokawaii Tour Across 14 North American Cities
A 13‑year‑old music‑making sensation and a 21‑year‑old hip‑hop rising star have joined forces for a 14‑date co‑headlining trek that will sweep the continent. North West, the youngest daughter of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, and rapper‑singer Molly Santana announced the “Molly x North Kimokawaii Tour” on June 17, setting the stage for a series of shows that begin on August 5 in Dallas and finish on August 27 in Los Angeles.
The partnership was cemented after the pair performed together at Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash festival in Chicago, where North West made her debut as a solo festival act. She had previously unveiled the single “PIERCING ON MY HAND” during a surprise appearance with her father at a sold‑out SoFi Stadium concert. Molly Santana, who recently featured on Drake’s 2026 single “Ran to Atlanta,” has been active on the hip‑hop circuit and shared stages with Future.
The tour itinerary covers 14 venues across the United States and Canada: - Aug 5 – Dallas, TX – House of Blues - Aug 6 – Houston, TX – House of Blues - Aug 8 – Atlanta, GA – The Eastern - Aug 10 – Silver Spring, MD – The Fillmore - Aug 12 – Philadelphia, PA – The Fillmore - Aug 13 – New York, NY – Terminal 5 - Aug 15 – Boston, MA – Citizens House - Aug 17 – Toronto, ON – Rebel - Aug 18 – Royal Oak, MI – Royal Oak Music Theatre - Aug 19 – Chicago, IL – Riviera Theatre - Aug 21 – Boulder, CO – Boulder Theater - Aug 23 – Phoenix, AZ – The Van Buren - Aug 25 – San Francisco, CA – The Midway - Aug 27 – Los Angeles, CA – The Novo
Ticket sales began with a presale that opened on the day of the announcement and ran until Thursday, June 18 at 11:59 local time. Fans who missed the presale can buy tickets on verified resale platforms such as Vivid Seats, SeatGeek, and StubHub. Vivid Seats offers a $20 discount for first‑time customers on orders of $200 or more using the code SYRACUSE20 and guarantees against counterfeit tickets. SeatGeek provides a $5 discount on orders of $300 or more with the code TAKE5. Remaining seats will become available through Ticketmaster’s general sale on Friday, June 19 at 10 a.m. local time.
The tour marks North West’s first headline run. Her self‑produced EP, N0rth4evr, dropped on May 1 and blends rap, emo, rock, and experimental elements across six tracks. The tour follows her live debut of “PIERCING ON MY HAND” at a high‑profile venue and offers a platform to showcase her evolving sound to a broader audience.
Molly Santana’s inclusion brings a contrasting stylistic perspective. Her recent feature on Drake and her own releases have positioned her as a rising figure in contemporary hip‑hop. The collaboration between the two artists has already been showcased onstage at Summer Smash and Rolling Loud, where they debuted an unreleased track together.
From an industry standpoint, the tour illustrates how young artists can translate social‑media buzz and streaming success into tangible touring opportunities. The pairing of a 13‑year‑old and a 21‑year‑old underscores the increasing visibility of youth performers in mainstream concert circuits. Ticketing strategies that include presales, resale platforms, and discount codes reflect current practices aimed at maximizing access while protecting buyers.
All 14 dates are confirmed, and ticketing information remains unchanged. The “Molly x North Kimokawaii Tour” will provide a stage for both artists to present their music to a broad North American audience, marking a notable milestone in North West’s emerging career and reinforcing Molly Santana’s growing presence in the hip‑hop scene.
