The New World Tour was the fifth concert tour by American rapper Childish Gambino, in support of his 2024 albums Atavista (a re-release of his 2020 album 3.15.20) and Bando Stone & the New World.
On October 4, 2024, after performing 18 shows in North America and postponing the rest of his North American shows, Glover announced that he had cancelled the remainder of his 2024 tour dates due to an undisclosed ailment, which he revealed in 2025 during his Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival set to be a stroke he experienced following the New Orleans concert.
Background Between 2017 and 2023, Donald Glover has reiterated his intention to retire his Childish Gambino pseudonym during interviews and social media posts, after initially announcing his intention at a 2017 show in the Governors Ball Music Festival. In 2018, he released the single "This Is America", and announced the This Is America Tour, which concluded in 2019 at the Austin City Limits Music Festival.
Glover released his fourth studio album, 3.15.20, during the COVID-19 pandemic, and re-released it in 2024, under the title Atavista. He also released his fifth and final studio album, Bando Stone & the New World, which was a soundtrack album for a film of the same name. Subsequently, Glover announced the dates for the New World Tour, and told fans it will be his final tour as Childish Gambino.
