A$AP Rocky brings ‘Don’t Be Dumb World Tour’ to Cleveland’s Rocket Arena May 29
Cleveland date set as tour supports Rocky’s new album
A$AP Rocky will perform at Rocket Arena in downtown Cleveland on Friday, May 29, 2026, with a listed start time of 7:30 p.m. The stop is part of his “Don’t Be Dumb World Tour,” a 2026 run tied to the release of his fourth studio album, “Don’t Be Dumb,” which arrived Jan. 16, 2026, marking his first full-length project since 2018’s “Testing.”
The Cleveland concert is scheduled two days after the tour’s Chicago opener at United Center (May 27) and ahead of dates in Toronto (May 31) and Montreal (June 1). A separate Detroit date appears later on the North American routing (July 8), positioning Cleveland as one of the tour’s early Midwest/Great Lakes stops.
