Summary

• North West and Molly Santana have announced the “Molly x North Kimokawaii Tour”, a 14-date co-headlining North American run beginning August 5 in Dallas and wrapping August 27 in Los Angeles
• The announcement follows both artists’ performances at Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash festival in Chicago

North West and Molly Santana have announced the “Molly x North Kimokawaii Tour,” a 14-date co-headlining North American run launching August 5 in Dallas. The announcement comes days after both artists performed at Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash in Chicago.

For North, the tour arrives at a specific moment in a creative arc that has moved quickly. Her debut EP N0rth4evr, which she both performed and produced in its entirety. That followed her single “PIERCING ON MY HAND,” released in February, and a surprise cameo appearance at Ye‘s sold-out SoFi concert where she performed it live. The throughline across all of it is production and creative control. N0rth4evr was not a features-heavy debut designed to borrow credibility from bigger names. It was a statement of self-sufficiency, and the tour extends that logic: rather than supporting a more established act, North is co-headlining on her own terms.

The co-headlining format with Molly Santana is the tour’s most structurally interesting decision. Rather than one artist opening for the other, the billing positions them as equals, which changes how both fanbases approach the show and how the tour gets marketed. It also reflects how both artists have chosen to build: collaboratively and on their own timeline, without defaulting to the infrastructure moves that typically govern a young artist’s first headline run.

The routing covers serious ground. Dallas opens on August 5, moving through Houston, Atlanta, Silver Spring, Philadelphia, New York City, Boston, Toronto, Royal Oak, Chicago, Boulder, Phoenix, and San Francisco before closing in Los Angeles on August 27. The 14-date sweep across both coasts and the midwest suggests a fanbase that is already geographically distributed, not clustered in a single market.

Artist presale for the Molly x North Kimokawaii Tour opens today, while all tickets go on sale Friday, June 19.
