September 18, 2026 — (Los Angeles, CA) — Today, Atlanta rap upstart and renowned live performer ApolloRed1 announces his debut North American headline tour, the Brazy Butterfly 2026 Tour, set to launch November 4 in Dallas. Tickets are available HERE and Apollo’s full upcoming Itinerary can be found below.

The news follows Apollo’s recent show-stopping set at Toronto’s First Class Fest — where hundreds of fans hopped barriers to rush his pit — and his hotly tipped performance at Rolling Loud’s official New York Fashion Week concert just last week. Next, he plays ComplexCon 2026on October 3 at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena as part of a takeover overseen by Playboi Carti.

After that, the Brazy Butterfly 2026 Tour kicks off with support from Georgia up-and-comer Bby Kellon all dates. With stops so far confirmed for Austin, Chicago, Toronto, Boston, and Brooklyn, the run concludes in Apollo’s hometown, Atlanta, on November 23. Venues to be announced.

Apollo’s been busy in the studio, too. He earned a “Best New Music” nod from Rolling Stone this month with “Africa,” out now via YVL / Interscope Records. Melodic and dreamy, the single feels like the start of something new, finding him tapped into a greater wavelength and bringing us along for the ride. He’s also popped up on a handful of features including Ken Carson’s “9 b*tches,” “overwatch” with bleood, and “IDK”with L5 — underscoring his in-demand status.

All of this arrives in the wake of Apollo’s June mixtape Demon Heart Radio, which won praise from the likes of VIBE and Complex, and delivered the singles “Geeked Up!” with OsamaSon and “#Demon” featuring Bryant Barnes, plus collabs with Destroy Lonely and HXG. With hypnotic vocals, an expansive sound, and lyrics that aren’t afraid to go deep, the 18-song set taps into the magnetism underground fans already know and love. Production came from Cardo Got Wings, F1LTHY, Bugz Ronin, TRGC, Clayco, OPM BABI, 1st Class, 16yrold, and others.

Apollo recently discussed his vision on Lyrical Lemonade’s Call it a Day podcast alongside OPM BABI. That’s after he entered the year on Complex’s “26 Rappers To Watch In 2026” list and was ranked among “your next favorite rapper[s]” in The FADER’s coverage of Summer Smash 2026. He also lit up Rolling Loud Orlando in May, after wrapping up his run on the arena-crashing, headline-making Antagonist 2.0 Tour with Playboi Carti, Ken Carson, Destroy Lonely, and HXG.

The rising artist has been steadily amassing acclaim and followers over the past couple of years, independently dropping a run of darkly stylish, sonically diverse, and distinctly thoughtful songs and projects — plus working with PlaqueBoyMax, sosocamo, 1300Saint, and others. Mid-2025, he dropped his buzzing Midnight Blassic set, the first release on YVL(see the video for “Drug Love Demo 2”). He then followed in October with his ApolloRed1 vs The World mixtape, which included the highlight “Profit,” plus features from Protect, Destroy Lonely, and others.

In February, he stepped into his current era with the SoundCloud-exclusive B4DEMON FM, a 10-minute stream meant to play like a radio broadcast introducing the themes now heard on Demon Heart Radio. Stay tuned in as ApolloRed1continues to transmit his sound to the world.
