"Wiz Khalifa Announces Summer Tour Dates" Wiz will hit U.S. cities with Big Sean and Chevy Woods.

With his new album, Rolling Papers, moving almost 200,000 units its first week in stores and landing at #2 on the Billboard 200 chart, Wiz Khalifa has certified his position as one of hip-hop's rising stars. Capitalizing on this success, the Pittsburgh rapper is embarking on the Rolling Papers World Tour, and riding shotgun will be G.O.O.D. Music rapper Big Sean.
The "Black and Yellow" MC's tour kicks off at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Maryland Heights, Missouri, on June 12. Despite its billing as a world tour, Wiz will only be hitting cities in the continental United States, including Las Vegas, New Orleans and Boston, for the 27-date tour before its final stop in Canandaigua, New York, on August 3.
Another featured artist on the bill is rapper Chevy Woods. Also a Pittsburgh native, he is a member of Wiz's Taylor Gang crew. Wiz kept the collaborations on his major-label debut to a minimum, but Chevy managed to appear on "Star of the Show." Big Sean is a Kanye West disciple and his debut LP, Finally Famous: The Album, recently had its release date pushed back to June 21.
Tickets for the tour go on sale to the general public on April 20. The date, an unofficial marijuana holiday known as Weed Day, is appropriate considering Wiz's love of all things marijuana. Members of the official Taylor Gang Fan Club will have the opportunity to purchase tickets on Thursday, April 14.
