    Rapper Childish Gambino, aka actor Donald Glover, will is hitting the road on a cross-country tour, that will include stop three stops in Texas including the Toyota Center in Houston on Sunday, September 8.

    UPDATE 9-10-24: In a post on X, Glover announced that he is postponing multiple dates, including the one in Houston, to focus on his physical health. New dates for the postponed shows will be announced in the near future.

    The tour will kick off in Oklahoma City on August 11, traveling to 33 cities across the U.S. and Canada in just under two months before heading to Europe and Australia.

    In addition to Dallas, other Texas stops on the tour include:

    • Austin on September 10 at Moody Center
    • Dallas on September 11 at American Airlines Center

    Willow will serve as the opening act on all North American dates.

    The tour is in support of Gambino's "new" album, Atavista, which is actually just a reimagined version of his 2020 album, 3.15.20, which he did not consider "finished" at the time of its original release.

    The album includes two new songs, including the title song, as well as collaborations with Ariana Grande, 21 Savage, Summer Walker, and Young Nudy. The latter is featured on "Little Foot Big Foot," for which Gambino just put out his first new video in six years.

    The last time he came through town was in 2018.

    Tickets for the tour will go on sale to the general public on Friday, May 17 at 10 am local time at thenewworldtour.com.

    Fans can also sign up for early access to tickets via the artist presale for all tour dates at thenewworldtour.com. American Express® Card Members can purchase tickets before the general public.

    Houston reels in new rank among 10 best cities for filmmakers in 2026

    Houston has just snapped up new recognition as the No. 10 best place to live and work as a filmmaker in North America, according to MovieMaker Magazine's annual report, "The Best Places to Live and Work as a Moviemaker in 2026."

    The Bayou City has made improvements after ranking 12th in the magazine's 2025 list.

    The annual list ranks the best cities in the U.S. and Canada for individuals to live while working in the film industry, based on production spending, tax incentives, cost of living, the prevalence of "local film scenes," and additional factors. The list is divided into two categories: 25 big cities and 10 smaller cities or towns.

    The spotlighted cities are the places where the publication believes filmmakers "have the best chance of both succeeding in the famously difficult entertainment industry, and making [their] own art."

    For up-and-coming filmmakers that want to live in Texas, MovieMaker says doing it in Houston is "more sustainable than ever" thanks to incentives like the Texas Moving Image Industry Incentive Program, which increased its production grant rebate from 22.5 percent to up to 31 percent for qualified in-state spending. The report also said Houston has an "arms-wide-open" approach for filmmakers.

    "As the biggest city in Texas, and fourth biggest city in America, Houston has nearly every type of location, from cityscapes to piney woods to rolling hills to nearby farmland," the report said. "It’s close to Galveston Island and the Gulf of Mexico, and car commercials love the absence of billboard advertising."

    MovieMaker also highlighted Houston's diversity, its low cost of living compared to the national average, and its local festivals like the Houston Cinema Arts Festival and Houston Latino Film Festival.

    "The city has enough film crew for two to three sizable features, and recent shoots have included the thrillers Eleven Days, with Taylor Kitsch, and A Love, from director Courtney Glaude, Tyler Perry Studios’ executive creator of Scripted and Unscripted," the report said. "Houston is also notable for a strong contingent of films with budgets under $1 million."

    Elsewhere in Texas, Austin ranked as the No. 5 best place to live and work as a filmmaker in North America. Dallas ranked seventh, while neighboring Fort Worth ranked 12th. San Antonio appeared as No. 14, and El Paso landed 25th on the list.
