ScHoolboy Q Will Take Blank Face LP Back on the Road for Its 10th Anniversary

ScHoolboy Q’s limited Blank Face LP anniversary tour includes an October 4 stop in Silver Spring.

ScHoolboy Q is reopening one of the darkest and most complete chapters in his catalog.

The Top Dawg Entertainment rapper announced a limited 10th-anniversary tour for Blank Face LP, his 2016 album built from knotty street narratives, bleak humor, sudden flashes of vulnerability and production that rarely settles into one mood for long.

The 10-date run begins October 1 at Atlanta’s Tabernacle. It moves to New York on October 3 and reaches the PowerPage coverage region on October 4 at The Fillmore in Silver Spring, Maryland. West Coast dates follow in Anaheim, San Diego, Los Angeles, Phoenix and Oakland before the tour closes October 17 at Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas.

The short schedule makes the run feel more like a focused album event than a conventional nationwide tour. Two Los Angeles performances—at the Hollywood Palladium on October 9 and The Novo on October 12—give Q room to bring the record back to the city and community that shaped much of its perspective.

Released in July 2016, Blank Face LP arrived with appearances from Kanye West, Jadakiss, Vince Staples, E-40, Tha Dogg Pound, Anderson .Paak and others. Yet its identity belonged to Q: tightly wound, unpredictable and willing to place commercial instinct beside difficult subject matter.

An anniversary tour can easily become a nostalgia exercise. This album gives Q another option. Its tension between survival, consequence, comedy and self-examination still fits the harder edges of current rap, while the live setting offers a chance to reconsider songs that were initially heard during a very different phase of his career.

The announcement also follows his recent teasing of new music after 2024’s Blue Lips. No release date or project title has been confirmed, so the anniversary tour should not be treated as a formal album-rollout announcement. For now, the confirmed story is the return of Blank Face LP as a full live-era centerpiece.

For Washington-area listeners, the October 4 date is the closest stop on the schedule—and an unusually compact chance to hear a decade-old album presented as a body of work rather than a handful of catalog selections.
