Thundercat Announces Fall 2026 North American 'Distracted AF' Tour

Thundercat is taking his virtuosic basslines and eccentric universe back on the road. According to a report from Pitchfork, the musician has announced the "Distracted AF" tour, a North American run spanning October through December. The massive trek follows his April album, Distracted, which was released via Brainfeeder Records and featured heavy-hitting collaborations with Tame Impala, Lil Yachty, A$AP Rocky, and a posthumous verse from the late Mac Miller. For a live show that is already notoriously unpredictable, Thundercat is bringing along a stellar, genre-blurring rotating cast of supporting acts. Depending on the city, fans will see opening sets from Channel Tres, TiaCorine, Fera, 54 Ultra, or Kitty Ca$h. It is a smart, highly curated lineup that bridges the gap between underground club culture, experimental rap, and classic funk. Frankly, catching TiaCorine or Channel Tres on these select dates makes the ticket price worth it alone. Before the autumn run begins, Thundercat will hit the summer festival circuit, including a performance at the Newport Jazz Festival later this month. Tickets for the "Distracted AF" tour are available now via Ticketmaster.
