J. Cole unleashed his fifth album, KOD, on April 20 along with three explanations of the title's meaning. The album took off, rocketing to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and leading J. Cole to become the first act to debut three songs in the Billboard 100's Top 10. Now, fans looking to catch Cole live get good news as the GRAMMY-nominated rapper has announced an extensive 34-date North American tour in support of KOD kicking off in August.

The KOD Tour will enlist Young Thug as the opening act starting on Aug. 9 in Miami. The tour will hit 25 U.S. states plus two cities in Canada before wrapping Oct. 10 in Boston.
Late last month, Cole released a thought-provoking video for "Kevin's Heart" featuring actor/comedian Kevin Hart just before he announced the inaugural Dreamville Music Festival in North Carolina.
Presale tickets will become available on May 9 and tickets will go on sale to the general public May 12 via Cole's Dreamville website.
