Dave Chappelle Announces a Major Return to Arenas This Fall
The seven-date run features his new set Karmageddon and requires phones and smartwatches to be secured in Yondr pouches, organizers said.
Comedian Dave Chappelle announced a seven-date 2026 Fall Arena Tour titled 'Karmageddon,' kicking off October 20 at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena with stops in Charlotte, Toronto, Louisville, Austin, and Houston.
Chappelle will headline the opening night of the 22nd New York Comedy Festival at Madison Square Garden on November 6, a date founder Caroline Hirsch called 'one of the greatest stand-up comedians of all time.'
Tickets go on sale to Citi cardmembers today at 10:00 a.m., followed by a Live Nation pre-sale Wednesday, September 16, and general on-sale Thursday, September 17, at noon via Ticketmaster.
All shows will be 'phone-free experiences,' with devices stored in Yondr pouches; attendees using phones during performances will be escorted out, though devices remain accessible in designated venue areas.
The tour follows a busy summer that included a recent benefit for 9/11 charities alongside Jon Stewart and Bill Burr, plus the sixth annual Dave Chappelle's Summer Camp at Wirrig Pavilion.
