Ice Cube is hitting the road for his first headlining tour in over a decade with Truth to Power: 4 Decades of Attitude, a 22-date arena run celebrating his legendary 40-year career. Produced by Live Nation, the tour kicks off September 4 at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center and hits major cities across the U.S. and Canada, including Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Toronto — and a hometown stop at Oakland Arena on September 25.

“Truth to Power is more than a tour — it’s a 40-year celebration,” Ice Cube said. “The world needs truth. The people need power. And that’s what my music brings.”

General ticket sales begin Friday, April 18 at 10 a.m. local time via icecube.com, with a fan club presale launching Wednesday, April 16. VIP packages will also be available through VIP Nation, offering perks like premium seats, meet-and-greets, signed vinyl, and exclusive merch.

The tour comes on the heels of Cube’s latest album, Man Down, which recently re-entered the charts as a Top 10 rap and indie release. Known for its sharp political commentary and West Coast edge, the project reinforces Cube’s enduring voice in hip-hop.

Adding to the celebration, Ice Cube was recently honored with a handprint ceremony at Hollywood’s iconic TCL Chinese Theatre — a fitting tribute to a cultural icon whose influence spans music, film, and beyond.
