Mac Miller has officially returned to the fold. The young talent recently revealed that his upcoming album Swimming was set to drop on August 3rd, having set the tone with singles "Self Care" and " What's The Use ?" Now, with the album within arm's length, it would appear that Mac is looking to extend the hype throughout the winter months. Today, Mac took to Instagram to announce the Swimming Tour, which is set to kick off at the end of October with a show in San Francisco.
To make the news even more welcome, Mac will be joined by the likes of J.I.D. and Thundercat for the duration. While Canadian fans may feel a little short-changed, it remains a lengthy enough run to satisfy many of Mac's North American listeners. Hopefully the break between August and October will give fans ample time to commit his new lyrics to memory.

![the swimming tour mac miller Mac Miller Performs 'Swimming' Album On NPR Tiny Desk: Watch](https://www.vibe.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/mac-miller-npr-1533577381.png?w=910&h=511&crop=1)
Just three days after it’s release, Mac Miller joined NPR Tiny Desk to perform a few personal favorites off his fifth studio album, Swimming . Backed by a live band featuring a pianist, drummer and wavy bass lines led by Thundercat , the Pittsburg-born MC tackled tracks like “Small World,” “What’s The Use?” and “2009.”
“I really wanted to have strings for this song because this one just means a lot to me,” he starts before “2009,” a song reflective of his life before the release of his breakthrough mixtape K.I.D.S. “ We weren’t gonna be able to travel with strings so we sent these guys sheet music and this is actually our first time, we just played it together for the first time 20 minutes ago… It’s a beautiful thing, man. Music is a beautiful thing.”
Luckily, Mac has a niche for one-time takes. In a recent interview with Zane Lowe , Mac revealed that the memorable bass line off “What’s The Use?” came by simply accident. When Mac and his producer had put the track to the side, Thundercat offered some inspiration which quickly became the backbone of the track.
“Thundercat came over that night and I was like, wait, could you try a bass line?” Miller told Lowe. “Swear to God, that was the first thing he played, like not even checking the notes or anything. He literally picked up the bass and that was the first thing he naturally did.”
As a result, Thundercat will join Mac Miller and J.I.D. on The Swimming Tour this winter. The 26-date trek will hit every major city starting with San Francisco on Oct. 27 and wrap up in Vancouver on Dec. 10.
Cop your tickets now and watch the 17-minute performance below.

Mac Miller ‘s 26-date fall tour has been canceled following his unexpected death early Friday (Sept. 7).
Tickets for the “Self Care” rapper’s fall tour in support of his Swimmin g album were pulled down hours after he passed away from an apparent overdose. The Pittsburgh rapper, singer and producer was reportedly found dead in his San Fernando Valley home.
Miller was represented by talent agency WME and his Swimming Tour was booked by Live Nation, set to kick off Oct. 27 at The Masonic in San Francisco. Miller had selected singer and bass-guitarist Thundercat and Atlanta rapper J.I.D. to open for him on tour. Both artists took to Twitter to pay their respects to Miller after learning of his death.

Mac Miller’s last show prior to his death was at the Smoker’s Club festival in Long Beach, California on April 29, where he took the stage right before headliner Kid Cudi . His last headliner show was a double booking with JAUZ at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Denver, and he performed in March at Lollapalooza events in Chile, Brazil and Argentina. A popular festival performer, Miller traveled the globe in 2017 playing Australia’s Listen Out series, France’s Synapson, Longitude in Ireland, Lovebox in London’s Victoria Park as well as festival stops in Norway, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Poland, Denmark and Mexico.
In the U.S., he performed at the 2017 Rolling Loud festival in Miami, as well as Coachella in Southern California and Sasquatch Festival in Seattle. His 2018 tour was to be his first headlining tour since his 2016 run with Soulection.
