RJD2 makes “colassal” tour even bigger

You would think RJD2 already had enough on his plate. With the release of their fourth full-length studio album, The Colossus, coming up in January and a free give-away every week until the record drops, he has certainly been keeping busy. Add almost 30 tour dates in the first two months of the new year and you’d have to wonder when this guy sleeps. Now, RJD2 has extended his tour into April with a whole slew of new dates.

While the first leg of his American tour will cover the South and Midwest, the newly announced concerts will hit both the East and West Coasts. Starting in Philadelphia on March 5th, RJD2 will move through all the major cities across the country, along with a couple stops in Canada. The third leg will end back in Pennsylvania while the fourth leg will cover the Mountain and Pacific time zones, ending in Seattle on April 11th

For his free release last week, RJD2 revealed the first single off The Colossus, titled “Games You Can Win.” The track features Grammy-nominated, Ethiopian-born artist Kenna. It can be downloaded off his official website here.

Tickets for the new dates go on sale this Friday.
