Dave Chappelle announces "Pulling Up" tour: Schedule, onsale info and tickets

Few comedians can make a tour announcement feel like breaking news, but Dave Chappelle has earned that kind of gravity. He doesn't follow a predictable touring schedule, so when dates drop, the window to act is narrow. The "Pulling Up" tour is his latest run, and based on how quickly his past shows have moved, waiting around isn't really an option.

The "Pulling Up" tour covers five confirmed dates from Friday, June 12 through Sunday, June 21, 2026. Chappelle hits Baltimore, Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago and San Diego across five arena stops at CFG Bank Arena, Little Caesars Arena, Rocket Arena, United Center and Viejas Arena at Aztec Bowl.

What to expect at a Dave Chappelle show

Chappelle's live shows operate by their own rules, and knowing what to expect going in makes the experience even better.

• Phone-free policy: Chappelle uses Yondr pouches — your phone gets sealed in a soft pouch at entry and unlocked when you leave. The result is a room where every person is fully locked in, and the energy reflects it.

• Set length and format: There's no traditional setlist. Expect 90-plus minutes of material that shifts from show to show, with Chappelle riffing and improvising based on the crowd in front of him.

• Vibe: Raw, conversational and unfiltered. Even in a 20,000-seat arena, Chappelle has a way of making the room feel like a comedy club. He commands attention like few performers in any genre.

• Surprise guests: Unannounced guests are part of the Chappelle experience. Arriving early and staying through the end is the move.

• Arrival tip: The Yondr pouch process adds time at entry. Getting there early gives you a buffer to handle the check-in, browse merch and settle into your seat before the lights drop.
