Monster Energy and Idol Roc Entertainment announce the “Welcome To The Zoo Tour” featuring Grammy-nominated artist Fetty Wap, opener Post Malone, and Fetty-collaborator Monty as part of the Monster Energy Outbreak Tour. The Monster Energy Outbreak Tour continues to be at the forefront of discovering what’s next by showcasing emerging artists in all genres, including hip-hop, rock, EDM, college, comedy, and country. The tour has grown immensely since its launch in 2011 and has featured many artists that have now catapulted to stardom, including Iggy Azalea, Kendrick Lamar, Carnage, Logic, and Macklemore, to name a few. Now, The Monster Energy Outbreak Tour has partnered with this year’s hottest hip-hop artist, the Grammy-nominated Fetty Wap, as well as emerging rapper-singer Post Malone, for its 2016 Hip-Hop edition. The 24-date excursion kicks off in Silver Spring, Maryland at The Fillmore on February 5 and concludes in Cincinnati, Ohio at Bogart’s on March 25.
Over the course of 2015, Fetty Wap’s breakout hit “Trap Queen” went triple-platinum as his next two singles, “My Way” [feat. Monty] and “679” [Feat. Remy Boyz], reach gold and platinum status, respectively. His fourth single “Again” cemented his spot in history as the “first artist ever to simultaneously chart his inaugural four entries in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot Rap Songs Chart.” Add to that his accomplishments of becoming the “first artist since Eminem to land 3 songs in the Top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100” and the “first artist to take 3 spots on the Shazam Global 200 Chart.” Plus, he took home the “Artist to Watch” award at 2015 MTV Video Music Awards-his first VMA. To top it all off, Fetty’s self-titled debut album also debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart. Fetty Wap has also just received two Grammy nominations for “Trap Queen.”
“It feels great to do my first headlining tour with Monster. They’ve been a big supporter of my music, and hip-hop in general,” Fetty Wap says of the tour. “I’m so excited to be back on stage and connect with my fans… It’s my favorite part of being an artist.”
Tour producer Steve Glazer says, “The Monster Energy Outbreak Tour is honored to have Fetty Wap kick off the first tour of 2016. It’s exciting that the best and the brightest emerging stars continue to support our platform. Fetty Wap is on an unbelievable run and perfectly represents what is new and exciting in music. All in all a perfect fit and great addition to the Monster Energy Outbreak roster. Fans should get their tickets fast, as we don’t expect a single one to be available when he hits the road.”
