The Live Beat: Rico Nasty

Rico Nasty is gearing up for a major late-summer run, announcing a new headlining tour in support of her upcoming album RX, arriving July 24. The newly revealed dates follow her current stint on the road with Hayley Williams, where she’s been electrifying crowds as a supporting act—now stepping fully into the spotlight with a tour of her own.

Kicking off August 30 in St. Louis, the headlining trek will take Rico across the country with stops in key cities including Brooklyn, Buffalo, Little Rock, and San Antonio, among others. The run marks a new chapter for the genre-blurring artist as she reasserts her signature high-octane sound and presence on stage.

The tour arrives alongside RX, a project that sees Rico reuniting with longtime collaborator Kenneth Blume (formerly Kenny Beats). The album channels a return-to-roots mindset, inspired in part by her time working on Apple TV+’s Margot’s Got Money Troubles and a desire to reconnect with the raw authenticity that first defined her artistry. She’s already offered a preview with the release of her latest single “CUPCAKE,” hinting at the unfiltered energy fans can expect both on record and on stage.

With a new album and a headlining tour on deck, Rico Nasty is clearly entering a bold new era—one that promises to be as unapologetic and explosive as ever. Miss this at your own peril.
