For Childish Gambino – the rap project of Donald Glover – his Voodoo fest set will cap off a fall tour that launches September 6th in Atlanta and features, on select dates, support from Rae Sremmurd or Vince Staples. The rapper recently released a new single, “This Is America,” though has yet to announce a follow-up to his 2016 album, Awaken, My Love!
The Arctic Monkeys, meanwhile, will be touring North American this summer in support of their new album, Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino. And for Mumford and Sons, Voodoo fest is just one of a handful of shows they’ve scheduled for 2018 so far. The group has played live sporadically over the past few years, though they have not released any new music since their 2015 album, Wilder Mind, and 2016 EP, Johannesburg, a collaboration with the Senegalese singer Baaba Maal.
