Chicago’s Grant Park was electrified on August 2, 2025, as Grammy‑winning rapper Doechii delivered one of the weekend’s standout performances—and used the moment to announce her first-ever headlining tour.
Stepping onto the T‑Mobile Stage, the self‑proclaimed “Swamp Princess” transformed the space into a theatrical, high‑energy tribute to hip‑hop culture. Her set—playfully billed as Doechii’s School of Hip‑Hop—featured classroom-themed sets, slides, boomboxes, and even a voguing dance battle celebrating ballroom tradition and queer culture.
Midway through the show, Doechii paused to share the big news: she’ll be hitting stages across North America on her debut headlining tour, with further details to drop soon via her official ticket site livefromtheswamp.com.
Joined by City Girls’ JT for a surprise performance of “Alter Ego”, the moment added a spark of excitement and insider energy to the announcement, delighting fans who packed the crowd in support.
First-ever tour: Doechii’s announcement confirmed she’ll soon embark on her own concert series following this breakout festival slot.
Support act appearance: The guest spot from JT elevated the energy—and hinted at the kind of collaborations fans might expect on tour.
Her Lolla performance was more than a showcase—it was a cultural statement. Doechii fused tracks like Nissan Altima, Anxiety, Denial Is a River, Boom Bap, and Alter Ego into a cohesive narrative about artistic freedom and queer identity. Fans lauded the show as rap meets theater meets fashion extravaganza.
Critics described the set as “a love letter to hip-hop” and praised its celebration of representation, particularly for Black women, queer communities, and boundary‑defying artists. The scale of attention rivaled last year’s record crowds for breakout acts.
This announcement marks a pivotal moment in Doechii’s rapidly rising career. With a Grammy-winning album (Alligator Bites Never Heal) under her belt and acclaim across hip-hop and pop circles, the tour is a natural next step toward her emergence as a major force and live performer.
It’s a full-circle moment: from viral rise on TikTok to headlining stages worldwide—with a live show that’s as visually bold as it is musically ambitious.
Doechii’s Lollapalooza set was groundbreaking on two levels: as a creatively staged, high-impact performance—and as the launchpad for her first headlining tour announcement. Fans are eagerly awaiting details, and if her Chicago show is any indicator, it’s going to be a tour worth following.
