Childish Gambino is adulting.
In May, the Grammy-winning 40-year-old rapper/actor/writer/director dropped his fourth official studio album “Atavista” and announced the sprawling ‘New World Tour’ that will take him to arenas all over North America including Brooklyn’sBarclays Center on Monday, Aug. 26andTuesday, Aug. 27.
And, following the release of his next album “Bando Stone & The New World,” due out July 19 —which will be accompanied by an IMAX film with the same name sometime in the near future — Gambino aka Donald Glover is retiring from music.
“It really was just like, ‘Oh, it’s done,’” he told the New York Times, referring to his Hip-Hop/R&B career. “It’s not fulfilling. And I just felt like I didn’t need to build in this way anymore.”
The “Atlanta” star and creator is giving himself a proper send-off with “Bando Stone,” though.
“For this album, I really wanted to be able to play big rooms and have big, anthemic songs that fill those rooms, so that people feel a sense of togetherness.”
If you’re just now realizing this might be your last chance to see Gambino live in concert (and possibly first and only time to hear the Bando album IRL), it isn’t too late to grab last-minute tickets to see him these next few months.
As of now, tickets are available for all 35 of Gambino’s North American concerts.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on tickets for any North American show was $52 before fees on Vivid Seats.
Based on our findings, other shows have seats going for anywhere from $58 before fees to $223 after fees.

Childish Gambino new album
On Monday, May 13, Gambino dropped his fourth official studio album“Atavista.”
The 11-track record, featuring guest spots from Ariana Grande, Kadhja Bonet, 21 Savage, Ink, Young Nudy, and Summer Walker, is the finished version of his previously-leaked “3.15.20.”
For those who have yet to hear the record, “Atavista” is more a return to Glover’s warm, R&B “Redbone” sound than his urgent, pulsing “This Is America” flow.
Highlights include the gleeful “Little Foot Big Foot,” gorgeous yet heavy “The Violence” and exuberant, joyful “Final Church.”
What we came back to the most though was the aforementioned “Algorhythm,” which lives in the liminal space between Hip-Hop, dance, and ’80s pop.
If you want to hear for yourself, you can listen to “Atavista” in its entiretyhere.
As for the even newer “Bando Stone & The New World” album due out July 19, the first two singles —tongue in cheek anthem “Lithonia” and sensual “In The Night” —can be heard here.

Upcoming Donald Glover projects
On top of his music career, Donald Glover is one of the most in-demand actors, writers and directors around.
Rather than inundate you with everything on his plate, here are four upcoming movies he’ll reportedly appear in, according to IMDb:
“Lando”will tell the story of the iconic “Star Wars” character Lando Calrissian. Plot details are currently under wraps; Glover is writing the screenplay with his brother, Stephen.
“Community: The Movie”puts the cherry on top of the beloved NBC sitcom’s “six seasons and a movie” mantra. Although no release date is set, Glover will reprise his role as Troy Barnes alongside series co-stars Alison Brie, Gillian Jacobs, Joel McHale, Danny Pudi, Ken Jeong, and Jim Rash. Series creator Dan Harmon is handling screenplay duties with “30 Rock” scribe Andrew Guest.
“American Dream: The 21 Savage Story”follows 21 Savage’s journey from UK birth to US upbringing where he conquers adversity like poverty and crime to attain success in rap music. Victoria Pedretti, Natasha Lyonne, and 21 Savage co-star.
“Mufasa: The Lion King”is the sequel to 2019’s remake of the 1994 original. Glover returns as Simba; Aaron Pierre, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Seth Rogen, Billy Eichner, and Keith David round out the impressive voice cast.
“Bando Stone & The New World,” which doesn’t have a release date yet, introduces us to Glover’s “famous musician navigating a world empty of people. He meets a woman and her child, and together they journey through a dystopian, post-apocalyptic world,” according to IMDb.
