Rod Wave is bringing his ‘Beautiful Mind’ tour to Fiserv Forum, breaking the Milwaukee record for most hip-hop arena concerts in a year
It’s official: A Milwaukee venue will host the most hip-hop arena tours the city has had in a single year.
Friday morning, Rod Wave announced a 25-date U.S. arena tour from November through December, with a stop at Fiserv Forum Nov. 19.
The Florida native has found a large following with his soulful singing voice and raw hip-hop that frequently finds catharsis from processing trauma. His last two albums — “SoulFly” released last year and “Beautiful Mind,” out last month — both debuted at the top of the Billboard 200.
Tickets go on sale at the box office (1111 N. Phillips Ave.) and through Ticketmaster at 10 a.m. Oct. 7. Prices have yet to be announced. Toosii and Mariah The Scientist will open.

It’s been a banner year for hip-hop tours at the Milwaukee Bucks arena, which were few and far between when the Bradley Center was in operation.
Tyler, The Creator headlined the arena in February, followed by Kendrick Lamar in August. Hip-hop and pop superstar Post Malone played a sold-out Fiserv Forum show this month.
