The High & Holy Tour artwork Killer Mike has just announced a 19-date US tour in support of his forthcoming solo album MICHAEL (out June 16 via Loma Vista) – his first major solo outing since touring in support of his 2012 album R.A.P Music. Billed as Killer Mike and the Midnight Revival, the High & Holy Tour kicks off July 10 in Birmingham and makes its way across the US, including an appearance at Pitchfork Music Festival and a performance at New York City’s iconic Apollo Theatre, before wrapping up August 5 in New Orleans, so on sale at 10am local time Friday, with a special fan presale on Wednesday. The announcement comes on the heels of his new single “DON’T LET THE DEVIL (feat EL-P & thankugoodsir),” which, contextualized alongside other recent singles “RUN (ft. Young Thug)” and “TALK’N THAT SHIT!,” previews the scope of MICHAEL, a holistic introduction to the totality of Michael Render, a lifelong rap fiend seeped in the sounds of multiple eras of southern rap flows, Sunday church service, and barbershop discourse. Mike hinted at the live presentation for the tour at SXSW, where he turned in a spirited and intimate career-spanning show at Stubb’s flanked by a choir (aka The Midnight Revival) and DJ, previewing several new songs that are anticipated to appear on the album (read more here). The High & Holy Tour will feature performances comprising the full album in addition to classic hits from R.A.P. Music, PLEDGE, and more. Stream “DON’T LET THE DEVIL (feat.
