Ken Carson Announces Headline U.S. “Xperimenting Tour”

Ken Carson is bringing his Xperiment era across the country with a new headline run promoted by Live Nation. The Atlanta artist announced the 17-date U.S. “xperimenting tour” on July 7, with support from xaviersobased, prettifun, and DJ Moon.

The tour begins Wednesday, August 26 at Huntington Bank Pavilion in Chicago and will hit major markets including Brooklyn, Washington, D.C., Miami, Atlanta, Austin, Phoenix, San Diego, and San Francisco before wrapping September 23 at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium.

For the Pass Da AUX audience, the key nearby stops are September 3 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn and September 5 at The Anthem in Washington, D.C. Artist presale begins Wednesday, July 8 at 10:00 a.m. local time, followed by general on-sale Friday, July 10 at 10:00 a.m. local time.

The announcement follows the release of Xperiment, Carson’s fifth studio album, which arrived with nearly 16 million global opening-day streams. The project pushes further into his high-energy sound while adding more melodic and emotionally driven moments.

The album features collaborations with Playboi Carti, Young Thug, Lil Uzi Vert, Destroy Lonely, and 2hollis. Production comes from familiar collaborators including AM, F1LTHY, Lucian, Clif Shayne, and others.

A Full Xperiment Era

Beyond the album, Carson has extended the world of Xperiment through a visual concept built around the album artwork, which features a USB drive inserted into his neck. The rollout includes a series of cinematic short films directed by Joy Divizn, leaning into sci-fi, suspense, and surreal imagery.

Carson also announced cartunez, a new mixtape scheduled to arrive Friday, July 11. Ahead of that release, he shared the Xperiment digital album with the exclusive bonus track “Too Many Poles.”
