Rapper J. Cole to play Central Florida this summer

J. Cole is returning to Central Florida again after last year’s show at the Amway Center, and the good news is that he’s got Young Thug along for the ride and a clutch of new hit songs from his KOD album. The bad news, however, is that he’s not playing Orlando, but nearby Tampa.

The rapper and singer will be hitting the road for his KOD tour in August, kicking off in Florida, and playing all throughout North America until October.

J. Cole and Young Thug play the Amalie Arena in Tampa on Saturday, Aug. 11, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets go on sale Saturday, May 12.
