Childish Gambino’s New World: Final Album and Film Premiere, Interactive Listening Experience and International Tour Announced

Childish Gambino is set to release his final album under the moniker “Bando Stone & The New World” on July 19. The rapper has already released the first single from the album, titled “Lithonia,” which showcases a different sound for Gambino, venturing into rock territory with heavy guitars and reverb vocals.

The news of the album release comes shortly after Gambino premiered the trailer for his upcoming film “Bando Stone & The New World,” which will feature him starring as the title character. This film tells the story of a man navigating through an empty world before encountering a mother and her son. Together, they fight for survival in a dystopian society filled with giant squids and menacing emu-like birds.

Gambino will be hosting an interactive experience for fans to have a first listen to “Band Stone & The New World” on July 6 at Little Island in New York City. Tickets for this event go on sale tomorrow at 10 a.m. ET.

As part of this new era in his music career, Gambino plans on going on tour for his previously announced New World Tour. The international tour begins on August 11 in Oklahoma City, OK, with scheduled stops in Brooklyn, Los Angeles, and Chicago before heading overseas to Europe and Australia. Willow and Aamarae are lined up to support him on tour.

In April, Gambino first announced his final two albums, confirming that he would be releasing two new Childish Gambino albums. The first album, an updated version of his surprise release “3.15.20,” quietly dropped in March 2020 under its original title, “Atavista.”
