Childish Gambino Promises His Next Tour Will Be The “Best Live Show You’ve Ever Seen”
Childish Gambino says he’ll give fans their money back if his upcoming tour isn’t the “best live show” they’ve ever seen. He teased his plans for the New World Tour, which kicks off next month in Oklahoma City, during an appearance on Hot Ones. He says the shows will be entirely “for the fans.”
“This last sunset walk is really about, this is for the fans,” Gambino said. “This is for you. If this isn’t the best live show you’ve ever seen, after the song if you’re like ‘Yeah, I gotta go,’ you can leave and I will give you your money back. That’s how much I care about all of this. That’s not a joke. My lawyers will be like, ‘It’s a joke.’ But it’s not a joke.”
