What To Expect From Kanye's Tour

by Kristie Rohwedder

Yeezy tour season could be approaching. On Tuesday's episode of Steve Harvey's radio show, pop culture iconoclast and occasional wearer of wolf-inspired contact lenses Kanye West said his tour could start this September. Here is what the “Ultralight Beam” rapper told Harvey (via Complex):

You know my tour game is strong. My tour game is unprecedented. So we're going to go out in September I believe, and we're just working on some of the ideas right now. But as I said before, I'm trying to literally inspire these kids the way Disney inspired me when I saw the original Star Wars.

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. My bank account better get ready. And by "get ready," I mean "buy itself some solution for its icy blue contacts." And I also mean "know that when the TLOP tour happens, I will want to spend some dough on tickets."

So, if The Life of Pablo tour really does kick off this fall, what can attendees expect from the show? Uh... a concert? If you were looking for a peek into the future, I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I can’t say for certain what will and won’t happen on this possible tour.

However! I can ask some questions/guess some guesses:

  • Will Kanye be there? One would think.
  • Will there be music? One would think.
  • Will there be seats? One would think.
  • Will there be a stage? One would think.
  • Will there be lights? One would think.
  • Will there be at least one microphone? One would think.
  • Will Ye open the show with "Ultralight Beam"? I don't know, but that's my prediction.
  • Will Ye perform "Ultralight Beam"? One would hope.
  • Will I cry if and when Ye performs "Ultralight Beam"? You can bet on it.
  • Will Ye perform "Feedback?" One would hope.
  • Will I dance like no one is watching if and when Ye performs "Feedback"? You can bet on it.
  • Will Ye perform "Wolves"? One would hope.
  • Will I cry if and when Ye performs "Wolves"? You can bet on it.
  • Will there be any cool costumes? Probably.
  • Will there be pyrotechnics? Probably.
  • Will there be fog machines? Probably.
  • Will Kanye play his hits from his other albums? Probably.
  • Will any of the guest artists featured on TLOP drop by? That'd be cool.
  • Will there be any large geographical formations on the stage, à la the spooky mountain from the Yeezus tour? Maybe. I hope so? I liked that thing.
  • Will any of the Star Wars characters be a part of it? That'd be an interesting cameo.
  • Will Chewbacca creep around the stage the whole show, à la that demon from the Yeezus tour? Now, that would be an interesting cameo.
  • Will BB8 roll around the stage the whole show, à la that demon from the Yeezus tour? Now, that would be an adorable cameo.
  • Am I too hung up on his Star Wars comment? Undoubtedly.
  • Will the TLOP tour be a feast for the ears and eyes and soul? Undoubtedly.
  • Will the audience be inspired by the show? Undoubtedly.

Whew. *Pats self on back.* Great guess session, self. Great work.

Well, I am sufficiently fired up for the TLOP show. Cannot wait for that official tour announcement, Mr. West.
