La Reezy's Skiddle Bandana Tour now runs through January and February 2027, and it still ends at home in New Orleans.

The official tour poster for the Skiddle Bandana Tour 2027 lists 10 dates. The run opens January 14 at The Echo in Los Angeles and closes February 20 at Gasa Gasa in New Orleans. It takes its name from Skiddle Bandana, the album Apple Music dates July 7, 2026.

The calendar has moved since summer. When Gambit previewed the album in July, Jake Clapp reported that La Reezy's first headlining tour would spend October and November in the U.S. and close "with a hometown show on Dec. 5 at Gasa Gasa." The Live Nation page for The Echo now lists Thursday, January 14, 2027, and Consequence's listing for the same show reads "Rescheduled from 11/19/26." Houston has moved too: Live Nation has White Oak Music Hall on February 4, 2027.

He talked about the tour on FOX 8 in New Orleans. The station's October 23 segment is titled "Who Dat Makin' Headlines | Lareezy talks debut album, announces new tour."

The album behind the name

Gambit calls Skiddle Bandana the first full-length album from the 12th Ward native. He co-executive produced it with Oakland producer ClayDough, with sample contributions by JBoogz, Al Hug, Spiff Sinatra and Ray Marco. New Orleans great Mac Phipps introduces him on the record, and rapper and comedian Lolly appears in the skits that run through it.

The album is framed as a party bus ride around New Orleans. "Wanted it to feel alive and reflecting like you’re passing through the city. What better way to pass through the city than on a party bus?" La Reezy told Gambit. He also said, "There’s no rap music without limitations. There’s no great art without some form of adversity."

Gambit describes "Melanate It," one of his latest singles, as a song where La Reezy celebrates Black identity.

Apple Music lists 13 songs, released under exclusive license to United Masters. That's the same distributor Apple credits on Ro$ama's debut, My Forte, and on BigXthaPlug's BETTER OVER TIME, where it's spelled UnitedMasters.

The XXL nod

In June, XXL revealed its 2026 Freshman Class, writing that "XXL has selected 12 artists for the 2026 Freshman Class." La Reezy is one of them, and XXL gave him his own Freshman page on July 9 with a freestyle and an interview.

"I’m just really very grateful, honored to be selected," La Reezy told Gambit. "I do the work," he said. "I feel like my music is life changing. I feel my music is healing, important and necessary. And I’m just grateful to have the opportunity to spread my name to such a huge platform."

The same Gambit piece lists a busy stretch before the album: four projects lined up for 2025, including "Pardon Me, I’m Different" with PJ Morton, The Next Up Award from the Hip Hop Museum in the Bronx, and a Jazz Fest set with Jon Batiste this year.

Ending at home

The tour opens on the West Coast and ends at home, at Gasa Gasa on February 20.
