Cam'ron, The Underachievers & More Will Headline the 2016 Smokers Club Tour
Cam'ron performs during 93.5 FM KDAY's 6th Annual Krush
Groove at The Forum on April 18, 2015 in Inglewood, Calif.
The Smokers Club Tour first kicked off seven years ago, and has been headlined by the likes of Method Man, Redman, Juicy J, Joey Bada$$, Ab-Soul, B-Real, Curren$y and Big K.R.I.T. over the years. The brainchild of Cinematic Music Group chief Jonny Shipes -- home to Pro Era, Herbo, Mick Jenkins, DZA, Caveman and Public Access T.V., among others -- the tour is often made up of artists from the label/management company's roster. This year is little different, as Cinematic plans to put out a final Cam album at some point this year.
Dates are set to begin May 31 in Vancouver, British Columbia, and will run through July 14 when it will wrap up in Norfolk, Va. Check the tour poster and full dates below. Tickets go on sale this Friday (April 1) at 10 a.m.
Back in December, Billboard sat down with Shipes and Joey Bada$$ at Cinematic's new offices, where Shipes explained why Smokers Club took a break from its touring schedule last year. "I just don't think I would have been doing myself or any of the acts that I've signed justice by focusing my attention as much as I had been in the past on Smokers," Shipes said. "So we didn't do the tour this year because of that, but the tour is going out next summer and it's gonna be ridiculous, all the dope youth and then Cam['ron] is gonna be the headliner... It's not like we were not into it, it just needed to take a step back in order for us next year to really do it properly."
