One of Hip-Hop’s biggest stars is ending 2025 and kicking 2026 off with a bang.
Rod Wave just announced he’s embarking on his seven-concert ‘Redemption Experience Tour’ in support of his 2024 album “Last Lap” from early December ’25 through early January ’26.
Toward the end of the brief run, the talented 27-year-old will make his sole New York City stop when he headlines Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Tuesday, Dec. 23.
In addition to the tour announcement, Wave also delivered a stylish music video for the emphatic new single “Leavin’” via Instagram.
Prior to this quick winter trek, the “Heart on Ice” rapper most recently took the stage at Tampa, FL’s Benchmark International Arena on Aug. 29 this year. According to Set List FM, he performed 30 songs that evening including fan favorites “25,” “Great Gatsby” and “Street Runner” among others.
“Even though he only had a mic stand, microphone and towel, the reaction he received could only be compared to an arena performance equipped with a full production, including dancers, wardrobe changes and set props,” The Dallas Observer noted in a review of an earlier November ’24 concert the St. Petersburg, FL native headlined.
“Wave’s music is marked by pain and suffering, but when the audience sang the songs in unison, it felt like a healing experience between Wave and his audience.”

Rod Wave new music
After dropping his 2024 album “Last Lap,” Rod Wave has released a number of singles.
Most recently, he unveiled the bouncy “Leavin’.” Clocking in at a hair under three minutes, the gifted rhymesmith takes a minute before he unleashes his own powerful bars — delivering potent lines with evocative imagery like “on the road to the riches dodgin’ potholes” — over the recursive beat. In short, it’s a bop with heart, soul and brains.
If you’d like to hear for yourself, you can find “Leavin’” here.
