Today is an excellent day to be a Childish Gambino (aka Donald Glover) fan. Four years since his last studio album, the actor/singer/rapper/comedian/writer/producer has just dropped new music, released a new music video and announced a world tour. He may just be the busiest man in showbiz.
The newly-released Childish Gambino album Atavista isn’t exactly new but a ‘finished version’ of 3.15.30, his album from 2020 with one never-before heard song and a few new verses. We still have an entirely fresh album to look forward to in the summer, though, which will apparently be Glover’s last under the Childish Gambino moniker.
Most importantly, fans will be able to experience Glover’s new music live and in person when he heads out on his New World Tour, beginning in August. Here’s everything you need to know about his shows in the UK and how to get tickets.
