Last night, Top Dawg Entertainment/Capitol Records artist Doechii kicked off her sold-out 'Live from the Swamp Tour' at Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, IL. The performance unfolded in four distinct "lessons."
She opened with Lesson One, performing "STANKA POOH," "BULLDOG," and "BOILED PEANUTS" from her GRAMMY Award-winning Best Rap Album Alligator Bites Never Heal. Throughout the night, Doechii delivered other fan favorites from the album including "NISSAN ALTIMA" and "DENIAL IS A RIVER," alongside standout singles like "Spookie Coochie" and "Anxiety."
Doechii also remixed her hit track "Persuasive, with Charlie xcx's "360." Notably, Doechii's two sisters have joined her on tour as dancers, making their debut during last night's show.
The 'Live from the Swamp Tour' follows a series of major festival appearances this summer and fall, including critically acclaimed sets at Lollapalooza, Osheaga, Outside Lands, All Things Go, Austin City Limits, and more. Her Lollapalooza set in particular became a viral moment when she announced the tour by driving off in an albino alligator-wrapped car with "Doechii Tour" written on the side.
In the lead-up to the reveal, giant albino gators appeared at iconic landmarks in several tour cities-from Piedmont Park in Atlanta and the Welcome to Texas sign, to La Jolla Cove in San Diego, San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, Seattle's Space Needle, and even floating down the Chicago River during Lolla weekend.
The headline run sold out within minutes of the onsale and shattered records for largest single day sales demand in history for Live Nation shows at seven venues, including Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom (Chicago), Coca-Cola Coliseum (Toronto), MGM Music Hall at Fenway (Boston), Bonjangles Coliseum (Charlotte), The Anthem (Washington, DC), Coca-Cola Roxy (Atlanta), and Bill Graham Civic Auditorium (San Francisco).
The tour continues this Friday with a sold-out show at Coca-Cola Coliseum in Toronto, followed by stops in Boston, New York, Tampa (her hometown), Atlanta, San Diego, and more, before wrapping on Monday, November 10, at WAMU Theater in Seattle, WA. This fall and winter, Doechii will also appear at major festivals including One Music Festival in Atlanta, Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival in Los Angeles, and Spilt Milk Festival across multiple Australian cities. While in Australia, she'll join Kendrick Lamar as a special guest on his stadium run, The Grand National Tour.
