Fresh off his debut appearance on Saturday Night Live on February 24, rapper 21 Savage has set plans for his 2024 American Dream Tour, which will include a stop at Dos Equis Pavilion in Dallas on Wednesday, May 15.

The tour will travel to 30 cities in the U.S. and Canada in May and June, starting with Vancouver, British Columbia on May 1. Texas will see him shortly thereafter: In addition to Dallas, he'll also perform in Austin on May 14 and The Woodlands on May 16.

21 Savage will be joined on all dates by special guests J.I.D, Nardo Wick, and 21 Lil Harold.

Known for his distinctive flow, the rapper is touring in support of his third studio album, also named American Dream, which was released in January and promptly went to No. 1 on the Billboard 200, where it stayed for two weeks.

The new album is his first since 2018's I Am > I Was, although he's been plenty busy in between official releases. He collaborated with Drake on the 2022 album, Her Loss, and created the soundtrack for Spiral: From the Book of Saw, along with multiple other song collaborations and non-album singles.

In fact, this will be his second appearance in all three Texas cities in less than a year, as he performed alongside Drake in a tour that came to the state in September 2023.

Tickets for the tour will be available starting with an artist presale & VIP packages beginning on Wednesday, February 28 at 10 am. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale beginning on Friday, March 1 at 10 am at LiveNation.com.

Miranda Lambert to perform at halftime for Cowboys' Thanksgiving game

Miranda Lambert will be the halftime performer for the Dallas Cowboys' 2026 Thanksgiving Day game.

Country music superstar and Texas native Miranda Lambert will be the halftime performer at the Dallas Cowboys' annual Thanksgiving Day game in 2026, according to a release from the NFL.

The Cowboys will play against the Philadelphia Eagles at AT&T Stadium in Arlington on November 26, scheduled to start at 3:30 pm.

This will be the 30th consecutive Salvation Army Red Kettle Kickoff halftime show, dating back to Reba McEntire's performance at the inaugural show in 1997. Other performers over the years have included Destiny’s Child, Carrie Underwood, the Jonas Brothers, Selena Gomez, Dolly Parton, Lainey Wilson, and Post Malone.

Charlotte Jones, chief brand officer and co-owner of the Cowboys, says she came up with the idea as a way to help launch The Salvation Army’s annual Red Kettle Campaign, which has existed since 1890.

“The Red Kettle Kickoff has become one of the Dallas Cowboys’ proudest traditions and one my family and our entire organization look forward to every Thanksgiving,” Jones says in the release. “For 30 years, incredible artists have appeared on our halftime stage to help The Salvation Army bring hope to millions of people in need. We’re grateful to Miranda Lambert for joining that legacy and helping us continue this meaningful tradition.”

Lambert has made local news repeatedly of late. She held her Crisco album release party at Billy Bob's Texas Billy Bob's Texas earlier in October. Her "Velvet Rodeo" residency wardrobe will be showcased beginning next month at the new Icons Gallery at the National Cowgirl Museum in Fort Worth.

“There’s something special about how music brings people together, especially when it’s to spread joy and hope to families who need it most,” Lambert said in a statement. “The Salvation Army and the Dallas Cowboys have built an incredible tradition with the Red Kettle Kickoff, and I can’t wait to be back home in Texas this Thanksgiving to help carry it forward.”

Every donation to The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Campaign stays in the community in which it’s given to provide help and hope for those in need. To learn more, go to SalvationArmyUSA.org.
