After playfully hinting at retirement earlier this week, T-Pain has come through with a surprise that’s turning heads—and turning up the volume. The Grammy-winning artist and Auto-Tune pioneer has officially announced his ‘TP20’ Fall Tour, marking 20 years of unforgettable hits, party anthems, and cultural influence.

Set to kick off this fall, the tour is more than a celebration—it’s a heartfelt nod to the fans who’ve been riding the wave since his breakout in 2005. But before the main event, T-Pain will warm things up with a special ‘T-Pain & Friends’ show at the iconic Radio City Music Hall on September 4.

Joining him for most of the tour dates is the energetic Atlanta duo EARTHGANG, whose presence promises to inject even more fire into a show that’s already sizzling with anticipation.

“This tour is not just a celebration—it’s a thank you,” T-Pain shared in a message that felt more like a love letter to his supporters. “It’s for the college kids who turned up to my songs back in the day, and now they’re playing them for their kids. It’s for every karaoke night where someone belted out ‘Buy U a Drank,’ every time someone said ‘T-Pain just saved this song,’ and every single scream when I hit the stage.”

He continued, “This isn’t just my journey—it’s our journey. Music isn’t just in the charts; it’s in people. This tour is about 20 years of shared memories—and gearing up for 20 more.”

The announcement puts to rest rumors that the “Bartender” hitmaker might be stepping back from the limelight. In fact, if anything, he’s doubling down. Before the TP20 tour gets underway, T-Pain will host a two-day takeover of his beloved Wiscansin Fest in Milwaukee on June 13 and 14, celebrating its fourth year. The lineup is stacked, featuring performances from GloRilla, Keyshia Cole, Pusha T, Wale, Jermaine Dupri, and others.

T-Pain’s career has never followed a conventional script—and it’s clear he has no plans of slowing down. If this tour proves anything, it’s that the T-Pain era is far from over. It’s evolving—and this next chapter might just be the most electrifying one yet.
