The Meet the Woo Tour was scheduled to be the debut headlining concert tour by American rapper Pop Smoke. It was launched in support of his two mixtapes, Meet the Woo (2019) and Meet the Woo 2 (2020), and had been set to consist of concerts in North America and the United Kingdom. The tour was announced in January 2020, with dates being released at the same time. Pop Smoke later added more UK tour dates after high demand from fans. The tour was canceled after Pop Smoke was shot and killed at the age of 20 in a home invasion on February 19, 2020.
Background and development
On January 29, 2020, Pop Smoke announced his debut concert tour Meet the Woo Tour, to promote his two mixtapes Meet the Woo (2019) and Meet the Woo 2 (2020), shortly after when he was arrested for transporting a stolen 2019 Rolls Royce Wraith from California to New York between November 5 and December 3, 2019.[1][2][3] Tour dates were released on the same day for North America,[4] while dates for the United Kingdom were revealed in February.[5] Due to high demand from fans, more tour dates for the UK were revealed on February 13, 2020.[6] Pop Smoke shared on social media a promotional flyer of the tour.[2]
Tour cancellation
The Meet the Woo Tour was later canceled after Pop Smoke was killed by a torso wound at the age of 20 in a home invasion on February 19, 2020.[7][8] Four hooded men, including one wearing a ski mask and carrying a handgun, broke into a house he was renting in Hollywood Hills, California, and shot him twice in the chest.[8][9][10][11]
