Tyler, The Creator performs secret shows across the US—watch

Tyler, The Creator played a series of secret shows throughout the United States last week. The pop-up shows took place in L.A., Dallas and Brooklyn. The venues, much smaller than the artist usually plays, were the musician’s first stops after not performing for two years following the onset of COVID-19.

The artist put out a sign-up a few days prior to the events, and the location was revealed the day before each respective concert. “Sign up, just trust me,” the artist wrote in a cryptic tweet. The first show was held June 30, just three days after his stellar performance of “LUMBERJACK” on the 2021 BET Awards.
