After selling an incredible 125,000 copies of his sophomore project, The Incredible Story, Logic has announced that he will be going on a world tour to promote the project.

The Maryland native went on his Twitter account to make the announcement, tweeting, “Very excited to announce #TheIncredibleWorldTour. Tickets on sale this Friday! (Dec. 4)”.

The tour, which begins on February 2nd, kicks off in Vancouver, B.C. and includes stops in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, New York, and more. International stops include shows in the U.K., Denmark, Czech Republic and Sweden; among other dates. The tour concludes on May 10th in Stockholm, Sweden.

“The Incredible World Tour” will serve as a gold medal for Logic, who shocked many of his naysayers with his ability to make noise on the Billboard charts with both his 2014 debut album, Under Pressure, and his latest project, The Incredible Story.

His second album has been a topic of discussion among rap aficionados with much of the feedback being positive. The 25-year-old rhymer proves to be ahead of the game with his tour announcement and is ready to have an eventful 2016.

Founded in 1986, SummerStage was created “in the spirit of Central Park’s original purpose- to serve as a free public resource to help enrich the lives of New Yorkers.” Over the years, it has been a public platform for great art, presenting a dynamic range of music, film, and performance, including dance, poetry, and comedy. This year, SummerStage’s “This is Hip-Hop” series boasts an impressive roster of hip-hop’s founding fathers and greats like Rakim and Big Daddy Kane who performed in June, The Jungle Brothers who will appear on August, 6, as well as some of the godfathers of production, such as Marley Marl, Pete Rock, and DJ Premier, who are performing toward the end of summer. There is certainly something here for everyone; dance performances, film screenings, DJ sets, and concerts abound.
