After sparking rumors of retirement, T-Pain is making it clear—he’s not going anywhere. On June 3, the Grammy-winning artist officially announced his TP20 fall tour, celebrating two decades of music innovation and cultural impact.
Kicking off October 3 at Radio City Music Hall in New York, the multi-city tour will hit major U.S. stops with hip-hop duo EARTHGANG as special guests.
“This Might Be It”—Or Maybe Not
The tour comes just 24 hours after a cryptic video posted by T-Pain had fans fearing a farewell. “I gave you everything for 20 years,” he said solemnly. “Right now, I just need some time for me.” The clip ended with the phrase “This might be it”, prompting speculation that the Buy U a Drank hitmaker was preparing to step away from music.
But the TP20 tour says otherwise.
“This tour isn’t just a celebration,” T-Pain clarified in a statement. “It’s a thank you. For everyone who played my records in college dorms. For the ones now playing them for their kids.”
TP20: A Legacy in Motion
Since his 2005 debut album Rappa Ternt Sanga, T-Pain has helped shape the sound of modern hip-hop and R&B, pioneering the mainstream use of Auto-Tune and delivering timeless club anthems.
The TP20 tour aims to bridge generations—celebrating the fans who were there from the start and introducing his genre-defying catalog to a younger audience raised on his influence.
A Big Year for T-Pain
The tour follows several major moments in 2024:
- In November, T-Pain received a hometown honor as Tallahassee renamed part of Pasco Street “T-Pain Lane.”
- He headlined the city’s bicentennial concert at the Adderley Amphitheater—his first solo hometown performance.
- During that event, he teased plans to bring his Wiscansin Fest to Florida—an idea now being actively discussed by local organizers.
Final Word
Though his emotional video hinted at stepping back, T-Pain’s upcoming tour is a clear message: he’s not finished—he’s evolving.
With EARTHGANG joining him on stage and fans across the country waiting to celebrate 20 years of hits, TP20 isn’t just a tour. It’s a declaration of longevity, a love letter to loyal supporters, and a reminder that T-Pain still has more to give.
