Omar Apollo Announces ‘God Said No’ Tour

Omar Apollo has been hard at work on his latest album, God Said No — and now he’s sharing that he’ll launch an accompanying tour to coincide with the album.

The tour will kick off on August 20, starting in Apollo’s hometown of Indianapolis. He’ll then work his way through major venues and amphitheaters across the U.S., including Forest Hills Stadium in New York and the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. Apollo’s tour comes after he spent some time opening for SZA back in 2023.

In addition to announcing the tour, Apollo also shared that fans will get to hear a little more of God Said No soon. The album, which drops on June 28 via Warner Records, includes the upcoming single “Less of You,” which Apollo is releasing tonight.

A lot of the new album is inspired by the time he spent in London, and he’s hinted it’s a much more experimental take on his music. He spoke to Rolling Stone earlier this year about how the city opened him up to different sounds: “I wanted something people could just be at the club with, because when you think of my music, you don’t think about the club. So I’m like, ‘Fuck, I need some club shit.’ But it was just how I was feeling at the time, in London especially. I was going to so many parties.”

He also said that God Said No features some of the best music he’s ever made. “The album doesn’t feel like it’s a bunch of songs put together. It’s a sequence that is made to be listened to front to back. That’s what I love about it. The songs, the writing, the narrative, everything about it is just from someone who has progressed in music. You can just tell.”
