Grammy award-winning rapstress Megan Thee Stallion formally announced the Hot Girl Summer Tour, a 31-city worldwide tour with special guests and fellow Grammy-nominated artist GloRilla. The tour will kick off on May 14 in Minneapolis and make stops at several major cities across the United States – including New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, and a hometown performance in Houston.
It doesn’t end there; the Hot Girl Coach will embark on an international leg, beginning on July 4 in Glasgow, Scotland, with additional shows in England, France, Germany, and Ireland. This will mark Megan’s first-ever headlining tour in arenas worldwide.

The rapstress is coming off a major achievement: She scored her third No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with “HISS,” following her other chart-topping hits such as “Savage (Remix)” with Beyoncé and “WAP” with Cardi B. The song was Megan’s second solo release via Hot Girl Productions, her independent music and entertainment entity.
Earlier this year, Megan and Warner Music Group announced a new deal that enabled the Houston native to maintain her independence as a musician. The agreement’s unique structure allowed Megan to release her music independently while still having distribution and resources with Warner Music, fully owning her master’s and publishing.
As the 29-year-old continues to prep the hotties for her new album, she’s ready to take new listeners on a journey through her arena tour. “Get ready, hotties, it’s about to be a time,” she captions on Instagram. “Can’t wait to see y’all!” Check out the dates to attend Megan’s Hot Girl Summer Tour.
