Breakout artist Ken Carson announces “The Lord of Chaos” arena tour in support of his new album More Chaos, which just earned him his first No. 1 on the Billboard 200. A major milestone for the Atlanta-born artist, the project marks his biggest debut to date.

The North American tour, presented by Live Nation, will kick off in Boston and hit 29 cities, including a stop at Tampa’s Yuengling Center on Sept. 16 at 8:00 p.m.

More Chaos was released on April 11 and marks a bold continuation and evolution of the style Ken introduced on A Great Chaos, a revolutionary blend of rap, punk and electronic music he simply defines as “chaos.” This album is Carson’s first top 10 entry on the Billboard 200 and follows two previously charted titles: the critically acclaimed, A Great Chaos (which debuted No. 11 in 2023) and X (No. 115, 2022). In addition to topping the Billboard 200, More Chaos claimed the No. 1 spot on Apple Music’s All-Genre chart, Spotify’s Global and U.S. charts and HITS Top 50, amassing over 21 million streams on release day alone. Ken recorded most of the album while on his last 80-date tour, finishing it during a marathon of sessions in Los Angeles.

More Chaos features production from his trusted circle, including Starboy, Lil 88, F1LTHY, Outtatown, Lucian and legion, among others. On release night, Ken surprised fans with a bonus track: “Off The Meter,” the first-ever official Opium link-up, bringing together Ken, Playboi Carti and Destroy Lonely for a landmark moment in the label’s history.
 

A Great Chaos, released in October 2023, marked a significant breakthrough for Ken Carson. The album became a star-making effort, debuting on the Billboard 200 and impressively remaining on the chart for over a year. It was certified gold in under a year and produced the Billboard Hot 100 hit, “overseas,” which also achieved gold status, along with “Freestyle 2” and “Yale.” The album garnered support from industry giants like The New York Times, Pitchfork, Billboard, Rolling Stone and Complex and was featured on several “Best Of 2023” lists. Additionally, it landed Ken an opening spot on the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ tour.

Building on that momentum, Ken made his debut performance at Coachella before he embarked on his biggest headline tour to-date, the “Chaos World Tour,” in the summer of 2024. He played in 3,000-6,000-capacity rooms, selling more than 230,000 tickets across both the North American and European legs of the tour. Highlights included two sold-out shows at Shrine Expo Hall in LA (10,000 tickets sold), three sold-out shows at Terminal 5 in NYC (9,000 tickets sold), two sold-out shows at Roadrunner in Boston (7,000 tickets sold) and two sold-out shows at Coca-Cola Roxy in Atlanta (8,000 tickets sold), among many others. These cities drew electrifying, sold-out crowds and consistently generated viral moments. With a reputation for high-octane performances, Ken’s live shows are a spectacle of rawness and intensity, drawing large, energetic crowds with his dynamic stage presence and unforgettable sets.

Ken’s influence extends beyond music, earning co-signs from icons like Young Thug, Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jay-Z, Justin Bieber and LeBron James and even a shoutout on Jeopardy! In 2024, he also launched a sold-out collaboration with Ed Hardy, took the stage at Rolling Loud Miami and performed at ComplexCon in Las Vegas.

Ken Carson is continuing his rise in 2025 with major milestones. He delivered a standout performance at Rolling Loud California, secured his first-ever headline festival slot at Rubicon and starred in the latest Y/Project x Heavn by Marc Jacobs campaign. A Great Chaos defined an era for Ken and now, with More Chaos, he’s pushing the movement to new heights, proving there’s no end to the storm he’s created.
