Nas is going back on tour in support of the 20th anniversary run for his classic 1994 debut Illmatic. But the big difference between the upcoming shows and those from the past is that it will include a screening of the Time Is Illmatic documentary.
The tour kicks off October 2 in Rochester, NY., where fans will see the film before Nas takes the stage to perform his Illmatic from beginning to end. The Queensbridge native’s time on the road concludes on October 19, following stops in Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Las Vegas and more.
See the when Nas will be in a town near you below. Fret not if you come up short, because Time Is Illmatic will be available on iTunes on October 3. Find info about the shows here.
